You are not wrong, there's no such thing as being immune to EMPs because of the fact that there's no such thing as perfect insulation or shielding. It's just a matter of increasing the charge and eventually any dielectric will give in and become a conductor.

However, modern equipment has a higher threshold against it than older ones had. Yet, let's say, if someone detonated a nuke on low orbit, they would fry a huge portion of the electronics in an appreciable area (I'm talking about half of Canada, for example), just depending on the bomb's yield.

It's still nothing compared to taking a solar flare to the face, but that's as close as we can get at the moment with current tech. Refer to this and you'll see: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-altitude_nuclear_explosion[/url]

Yeah, it would get pretty crazy with the type of weapons we have today. That type of testing was banned in 1962 so we have no idea how much it would take out with a modern nuke.
