Yes, but then there would be evidence of an EMP, with destroyed circuits, etc.
Could I just go on a totally off-topic rant here? Did anyone see
The Animatrix, the series of
Matrix-themed cartoons made by different directors? The first of these,
The Second Renaissance tells the backstory of the whole
Matrix series, how humans built robots, how the robots rebelled and eventually went to war against humanity, won and built the Matrix. At one point, the robots, who have separated from humans and live in their own city, come under nuclear attack from the humans. And then it shows the robots standing up and and walking again after the bomb has dropped and the narration says, "But the human's nuclear bombs had no effect on the robots."
Now, it would be a simple matter to say "Ok, so they didn't know about the fact that a nuclear explosion will trigger an enormous EMP pulse that would effectively disable all electronics". That's fine - if they want to drop the bomb on the robots and show the robots surviving, that's a perfectly valid fictionalisation.
But in the Matrix movies themselves, the
way that the robots are attacked is - you guessed it - EMP Pulses! The writers seem blissfully unaware that the only reason we even
knew about EMPs in the first place, for them to make use of as a device in their movie,
was through the first nuclear explosions!

Secondly, there are documented government cases involving a UFO rendering missles useless. Ironically, the government line in those cases is the same as what I read the debunker's say.
"UFO'S Don't exist, even though we don't know if they do".
Rather like the way a non-EMP causing nuclear blast can not appear in a movie in which EMPs are used to disable robots and electronics, the paragraph I've cited there does not make any sense, btimsah. If the government states that UFOs do not exist (not something they've ever actually said, but lets say that their position amounts to the same thing) then there can not be a "documented government case of a UFO rendering missiles useless", can there? Either the documented government case says a UFO rendered a missile useless in which case the government can't deny the existence of UFOs, or they say there are no UFOs in which case the government can't document a case of one, can they?
