===Russia=== Since the Cold War, Russia has experimented with the design and effects of EMP bombs. The [[Soviet Union]] designed a [[Fractional Orbital Bombardment System|system]] to deliver nuclear weapons from the [[low Earth orbit]].<ref name=":2">{{cite report |last1=Pry |first1=Peter V. |date=2021-01-28 |title=Russia: EMP Threat.

This would call for detonations up to {{convert|100|km|mi}} above the Earth's surface, with the potential to disrupt the electronic systems of U.S. satellites suspended in orbit around the planet, many of which are vital for deterrence and alerting the country of possible incoming missiles.<ref name=":0"/>
