in reply to Jan Antoš • • •If the point is to safeguard other installations around the place of the attack, EMP could possibly destroy more value than a kinetic interceptor. But it's of course less likely to harm humans directly. Don't use pacemakers 😉

I think EMP would fail the "without collateral damage" requirement, unless you can make it really directed.
