Ive always had a gut feeling, no matter what everyone thought about Russia's military might decreasing after its fall that its secret military research continued.
No physical harm was done with the test, however it seriously psychologically stuffed up a few yanks who thought they were going to die then and there.
Russia's just letting them know the super power games not quite over yet, better get back further into international waters.
I vaguely remember from decades ago of articles talking about this ability to shut down electronic devices and that some Russian planes used gear with the old ancient valve type electronics to avoid it effecting them, it was a very long time ago.
