China's Microwave Weapon Passes Military Trials

Chinese scientists have reportedly developed a high-powered microwave weapon system, likened to the 'Death Star' from Star Wars, which can target and disrupt enemy satellites. This system uses multiple transmitting vehicles to synchronize numerous small electromagnetic waves into one concentrated beam with ultra-precise timing, capable of deactivating satellites, including American GPS systems. The technology requires extreme precision, with timing errors not exceeding 170 picoseconds, and employs optical fibers for synchronization. The weapon system has passed military trials and aims to suppress satellite signals for various military applications. The research reflects China's continued interest in high-powered microwave (HPM) weapons to counteract specific US military advantages, though detailed specifications remain classified.
