It has been implied that Turkish Marines used emf pulse weapon to bring down
a Greek Navy helicopter during the Imia island crisis in January 1996.
The helicopter apparently lost all electronics (navigation, communication,
night vision, arms' pointing and shooting devices) after being "rayed" with
emf pulse.

Emf pusle weapons are VERY easy to manufacture provided that you have access
to high intensity lazer equipment (which is not so difficult)

Israeli forces use them anyhow.

(still haven't fixed an emf pulse weapon to the RS2 to "fry" police radar
and lazer guns.)
