| Oct 18, 2018 at 2:10 | comment | added | stux | Thank you! I really do think that a handful of nukes is enough, so I edited my answer with more detailed information extracted from Wikipedia. I also mentioned some effects on satellites as well. Even a single blast is enough to make the continental US go dark and this, in fact, is part of the backstory to Jessica Alba's Dark Angel series! | |

The major cities perhaps but not all the satellites or deep space relay sites all in one go. That is unless the nukes were used to destroy the deep space relay system because it was a religious abomination. | |
