China is the first in the world weapons drones with "microwaves" against Reb: How will it change wars

The Chinese assure that their new drones will be able to compete with aircraft for the HR. Previously, UAVs have already been equipped with microwave emitters, but as a radar, not weapons. Chinese scientists and engineers working in the defense industry stated that they managed to develop a microwave to suppress the enemy's HPS systems, SCMP reports.

Professor Lee Jianbin of the Information and Technical University of Strategic Support forces, who managed the work on the creation of a new type of microwave weapons, refused to name its exact size and weight, but noted that she could handle the "muffins" of any type. "The source of microwave radiation often has a sufficiently weak power and a limited transmitting lane. Semiconductor chips are usually used to enhance power.

But researchers say that their device can work in a excessive frequency range and even capable of competing with aircraft for radio -electronic wrestling. " in the material. According to scientists, they managed to place a microwave on drones. It is worth noting that earlier microwave radiation was used UAV, but not as a remedy, but as a radar. This made it possible for drones to monitor the goals on Earth, in the water and in the sky, while blocking the radars and the enemy's connection.

It is known that the radar receiver and the HRS device cannot be activated at the same time. But now drones do not need additional radars, as this feature is performed by a device that researchers have called "Travelling Wave Tube" - "Tube of Running Wave". The tube contains an electron bundle that moves in a spiral in a vacuum along the inner wall. "Despite the fact that it is old technology, it provides greater microwave power than any semiconductor amplifier," journalists emphasize.

"Most Chinese military drones perform tasks such as observation or strikes for target But in Taiwan, "the authors write. Lee Jiangbin assures that new type drones will be able to fly just over the enemy radars. "We can impress their radars of early warning, observation and air defense through obstacles. This will protect our fighters and tactical missiles, giving us an advantage in battle," he emphasized.
