An EMP wouldn't work even against a "large massed force." The US government puts in its equipment specifications that all military electronics must survive an EMP pulse from a nuclear blast. Remember, they have been building up military weaponry for 40 years assuming nuclear weapons where going to be used. Assuming the Russians did the same, a given, you now have the world's 2 larges arm makers creating tanks, planes, missiles and what not that can survive an EMP weapon. Remember, the Iraqi's are using US made Stingers and Russian SA7's to shoot down helicopters.
