The US Built a Nuclear Bomb Designed to Destroy All Radio Communications on Earth #weaponsystems

It wasn't designed to kill people. It was designed to blind an entire planet. Project Starfish Prime was a 1962 US nuclear test in which a 1.4-megaton hydrogen bomb was detonated 400 kilometres above the Pacific Ocean. The electromagnetic pulse it generated knocked out street lights in Hawaii — 1,400 kilometres away — damaged six satellites in orbit, and created an artificial radiation belt around Earth that persisted for years. It proved that a single high-altitude nuclear detonation could disable electronics across an entire continent simultaneously — shutting down power grids, communications, and military systems without a single ground-level explosion. The test results remain classified in full.
