China Develops New 'Starlink Killer' Anti-Satellite Microwave ... (EurAsian Times)

China claims to have developed a compact power source that might drastically reduce the size of a high-power microwave weapon capable of bringing down the ...

This new system is another method China can use to accomplish that task, increasing the threat to US satellites, drones, and aircraft,โ€ Lewis explained. This distinctive design facilitated the production of ultra-high-power electron beams in a restricted space. [said](https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3214251/scientists-shrink-chinas-starlink-killing-microwave-weapon-new-power-source?module=perpetual_scroll_0&pgtype=article&campaign=3214251) that the high-intensity energy produced by this device could generate microwave beams that are potent enough to damage drones, airplanes, and even satellites [. The device made by Shuโ€™s team is an electron accelerator with a peculiar interior structure resembling DNA. According to Chinese scientists, generating high-power electricity in a small device can lead to catastrophic failure. Nevertheless, the team encountered some challenges while attempting to make this device operate efficiently.

China's mini microwave cannon could reportedly fry Starlink satellites (Interesting Engineering)

The high-power microwave cannon can allegedly be plugged straight into a regular power grid before being fired at satellites and drones.

It could also be plugged into a regular power grid, according to the scientists behind the project. The researchers behind the new device said similar devices currently used by the military currently generate microwaves in kilowatt or megawatt power. It can also be placed on the back of a truck and plugged straight into a regular power grid, making it highly mobile for battle scenarios.
