The extensive application of emerging technology weapons is quietly changing the laws of warfare. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is destined to become a war that changes the laws of war, and in this war there are many weapons and their applications that subvert existing concepts. The battlefield of the Russia-Ukraine conflict has become a testing ground for all kinds of new weapons, and it has also become a place for the application of new combat principles. The United States, Britain, France and other Western countries are using a large number of their own emerging technology weapons in Ukraine, trying to test the effectiveness of the corresponding weapons and ammunition in actual combat. Russia has even taken out all the weapons it can come up with, thrown itself into this conflict, and comprehensively verified its own weapon design concept. Emerging technology weapons have also become the biggest highlight of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The United States is the country that has invested the most in R&D in the field of emerging technology weapons and has been the first to put it into actual combat in many fields. In fact, the United States was the first to put forward the concept of many emerging technology weapons, and the United States has been at the forefront of the world in many emerging technology fields. The United States regards emerging technology weapons as weapons that change the rules of war, so it attaches great importance to them, investing the most money and R&D personnel. The United States has developed some emerging technological weapons, such as autonomous attack weapons, such as hypersonic weapons, such as laser and microwave weapons, such as large-scale Starlink technology, and so on. Against the backdrop of tensions in the Middle East, the United States has deployed microwave weapons against Iran.
In response to Iran's nuclear facilities, the United States has deployed emerging technology microwave weapons in the Middle East. The website of the British "Daily Mail" reported on April 19 that the US Air Force has deployed emerging technology weapons in the Middle East specifically aimed at Iran's nuclear facilities, that is, microwave weapons that everyone is very concerned about. It is reported that this weapon mainly uses high-power microwaves to destroy the corresponding electronic equipment, but it will not cause fatal damage to personnel. Microwave weapons are not a completely new concept, but they are not used too much in real combat. According to British media reports, Britain has put this weapon into combat and deployed it in the Middle East, and has the ability to attack Iran's nuclear facilities at any time.
Boeing's Goblin Engineering Department has developed this microwave weapon for the US Air Force through the anti-electronic system high-power microwave advanced missile project, that is, a new type of missile that attacks through microwaves. When launched, the missile emits high-energy electromagnetic radiation, which is used to attack the electronics of the weapon system. These high-energy microwaves usually do not cause direct damage to personnel, but they can cause fatal damage to electronic equipment. The US microwave missile is usually composed of a microwave generator, a directional transmitting antenna, and a servo control system, which can be regarded as a complex system. This weapon strikes at each other and has distinctive characteristics.
Microwave weapons have a wide range of applications and can be used to attack satellites, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, aircraft, ships, tanks, communication systems, radars, computer equipment, and the focus is on destroying electronic equipment. The U.S. military now missileizes microwave weapons and launches them through the U.S. Air Force, which is also a very special design. Microwave weapons have the advantages of longer range and less influence by climate, so they have better application effects in actual combat. The focus of the microwave weapons deployed by the US military this time is aimed at Iran, because the current tension between Iran and Israel is tense, and the United States does not dare to directly enter the war, but it must also have means to deter Iran.
The United States has deployed at least 20 microwave weapons and missiles, which have the capability to carry out lethal strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Mary Lou Robinson, then director of the high-power microwave department of the Air Force Research Laboratory, confirmed to the outside world that the US military had deployed at least 20 CHAMP missiles in the Middle East. It is reported that the biggest feature of these missiles is that the microwave weapon is loaded on the missile, so as to ensure that the microwave weapon is the microwave weapon that carries out the attack after the missile hits the target, rather than the traditional missile warhead. Mary Lou Robinson stressed that the US military's microwave weapons have the ability to destroy any military target, including nuclear facilities, and have a strong deterrent capability in the Middle East and even in the world.
Bombers and other long-range fighters are carriers of US microwave weapons, and the attack tests of the corresponding weapons have been a complete success. According to the U.S. military, this kind of microwave weapon missile is usually carried by bombers or stealth fighters, so as to penetrate deeper into Iran and then launch the missile. According to the corresponding tests conducted by the United States, almost all electronic equipment was destroyed in the environmental space attacked by microwave weapons, and the animals that cooperated with the test were unharmed. This situation shows that the microwave weapon newly developed by the United States has humanized characteristics and will not directly harm lives. The success of the experiment by the United States is also the confidence of their deployment in the Middle East.
Iran's nuclear facilities have been the most closely watched project by the United States and Israel, both of which fear Iran possessing nuclear weapons. At the most tense moment when Iran is attacking Israel proper, Israel has threatened to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. Although in the end Israel carried out a minor attack on an Iranian military base and did not attack Iran's nuclear facilities, Israel's threat says a lot. First of all, Israel does have the ability to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, and that capability includes the support of the United States. Secondly, Israel and the United States certainly have plans and programs to attack Iran's nuclear facilities.
The threat that the United States can attack Iran's nuclear facilities at any time, and that the attack will not kill a single Iranian soldier, is also very terrifying. The United States has used the virus to attack the corresponding Iranian network, thus inflicting irreparable damage on Iran. Now that the United States has deployed microwave weapons in the Middle East capable of attacking Iran's nuclear facilities, the United States can attack Iran's nuclear facilities at any time. In the course of such an attack, the United States can even do not let a single Iranian soldier die, which is indeed a very high-end means of attack. Obviously, such a means will be a great deterrent to Iran, after all, it will be difficult for Iran to carry out large-scale retaliation without a large number of casualties.
The proliferation of new technological weapons is changing the laws of warfare without the will of the people. Emerging technology weapons don't kill. But this does not mean that it is benevolent, but rather that it is more high-end. The introduction of such microwave weapons by the United States into actual combat will inevitably bring about a challenge to the existing rules of engagement and will inevitably change people's understanding of the laws of engagement. The key to ensuring security is to have a positive understanding of emerging technology weapons, and then to conduct active research to ensure that they have a voice in this field.
