Does INDIA and CHINA possess ELECTROMAGNETIC BOMB ?

By the end of 2001, Russia had developed a microwave weapon and proposed it to "old friends" China and India.

Particularly, in November-December 2001, Russia's state-owned arms-export monopoly, Rosoboronexport, began selling the world's first openly marketed radio-frequency weapons, the "super-enemy" of electronics.

EMP effects are hardly new and any power with Nuclear arms (ie China) is capable of making them. Really all you have to do is airburst one to generate the effect. U.S. Navy ships are no doubt built with hardened electronics as this threat has been out there for decades.

I hope INDIA also possess this[ being a nuke-power] tech.

I think most countries could have basic E-bombs if they wanted. They are not expensive to make at all. They could be created for a mere pittance compared to the money it cost to make Nuclear weapons.

"Popular Mechanics, Wilson explained, "estimates a basic weapon could be built for $400."

flux compression generator bombs (FCGs), which date back to the 1950s. This sort of e-bomb has a fairly simple, potentially inexpensive design

Most likely, the United States' HPM e-bombs aren't really bombs at all. They're probably more like super powerful microwave ovens that can generate a concentrated beam of microwave energy. One possibility is the HPM device would be mounted to a cruise missile, disrupting ground targets from above.
