EMPs have been a favorite internet doomsday scenario for decades as an invisible blast that could take down the entire U.S. military in seconds. But how real is the threat?

We’ll cover the 1962 Starfish Prime test, what would actually happen to civilian infrastructure and military hardware, which countries could pull it off, and how prepared the U.S. really is.
