Scientists from China's Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology have unveiled a compact device that can disable the electronics of satellites in low Earth orbit. This is reported by UNN with reference to South China Morning Post.
Details
According to the publication, the TPG1000Cs device is the world's first compact power source for high-power microwave weapons. It is capable of generating 20 gigawatts of power for one minute.
The dimensions of this installation are only four meters in length, and its weight is five tons. This allows it to be installed on trucks, warships, aircraft, and also launched into orbit.
In addition, it is noted that this device is capable of seriously disrupting or even damaging Starlink satellites.
Recall
Earlier, UNN reported that China maintains its nuclear forces at the minimum necessary level and will not participate in nuclear disarmament talks.
