as a matter of interest over thirty years ago a Russian Mig pilot defected flying his plane into Taiwan which was then duly handed over to the US
when they opened the nose cone they found not state of the art micro chips but glass valves similar to those used in
old TV's and radios, they didn't stop laughing until they discovered the valves were less effected by EMI/RFI emissions than the yanks solid state gear, a problem which has not been completely rectified to this day and has been documented as the cause for many deaths in "friendly fire" during the Iraq invasion and Afghanistan as the transponders carried by ground troops to identify themselves to those above were blocked
on a similar note they banned all housing being built directly under high voltage power lines due to EMI /induction effects on the human body. anyone who does live under these lines will know the sound of crackling on damp nights coming from them and sadly the movie "The Castle" might never have been made as Darryl's house would never have existed
