The U.S. just deployed a weapon that was supposed to stay classified for another decade

🚨🚨🚨 THE US JUST DEPLOYED "SOFT KILL" ELECTRONIC WARFARE IN IRAN → NO BULLETS, NO BOMBS, TOTAL DESTRUCTION 🚨🚨🚨
America just revealed a capability most people didn't know existed.… pic.twitter.com/BIxXpA991j
I'm gonna be alright of course - my tinfoil helmet will reflect the eeeevil mind rays! And I will laugh as all you retards die hideously after mocking and deriding my superior intellect!!! HAR HAR HAR!!!
🖕😂👍
Seriously... this one has me fuzzbared. I dunno what to make of it. I have been trying to shore up my technical background on ham radios and to do that I have had to deep dive into foundational physics to truly understand what in hell is going on. It's one thing to manipulate numbers and rattle them off on a computer or calculator and trust everything to black boxes but to truly understand what's going on, I personally have to be able to visualize it. This rapidly becomes a can of friken worms. Fact is my command of higher mathematics has degraded over time too. Take the following with some very LARGE grains of salt. I am out of my depth.
Weapons like these are theoretically possible. The problems - as I understand them - are wave propagation and dissipation. It’s going to take a shit ton of power and waste heat to project the waves, and any fog, dust, tree cover, buildings - are going to attenuate them. To compromise them you don’t have to block them…you can merely deflect them. (That’s basically what the early F-111stealth fighter plane did - it was basically a flying triangle. Radar bounced off them but never back at the emitter and receiver - much like a bullet ricochet).
So. Is this the new terror weapon coming from the same deranged minds that produced the deadly and largely fictitious Ukranian Seeking Autonomous Crapcopters?
From a theoretical standpoint these weapons are possible. Practically…? Uggghhhh. When they black bagged Maduro out of Venezuela - they got him in his own country, in his own fortress, surrounded by his own heavily armed squaddies. They reported symptoms similar to those that such weapons produced. The Deltas made a very, very rare public appearance. You never see those guys unless they want you too. They got in, and got out - without a single casualty. WITH two prisoners. I’m sorry, those guys may be good… but that good…? It’s well known that they play with tech that won’t be seen by the general public for decades.
I don’t see any (theoretical) reason these weapons couldn’t be turned on this new breed of cheap fixed wing drones either. Those actually have a chance of seriously changing the battle space, and a counter to them has to be a top priority for the R&D eggheads. Could this be it?
100 years ago my grandad was a 16 year old in the trenches in Fwance and facing a new Satan spawned weapon called the machine gun. One of his closest friends was killed by it. When he finally got back home, squaddies with eye and lung injuries from poison gas were a dime a dozen. No one had ever seen weapons like that before. This lethal game of one-upmanship continues apace.
The world is changing. At the moment…I think these weapons may finally exist.
