Chinese microwave Indian troops

[Ayahuasca]

Report in the Times that the Chinese aimed a microwave weapon at a couple of Indian held mountaintops, the Indian soldiers retreated when their flesh started to cook.

Not a good development.






(No confirmation that the Chinese commander was called Ping.)

Is this the same incident that the Chinese military said didn’t happen, and the Indian military said didn’t happen?

As opposed to the incident when Ping said, yes it was us, we defo microwaved them with our new weapon?

“We didn’t publicise it because we solved the problem beautifully,” Mr Jin said. “They [India] didn’t publicise it, either, because they lost so miserably.”

Wasn't this technology shown on "future weapons" as crowd control about 10 years ago!?

The US had similar tech in Afghanistan but apparently didn’t use it.

“ Microwave weapons began to attract attention in recent years as the United States researched radio-frequency, or electromagnetic pulse weapons. The weapons use high-energy electromagnetic radiation to attack targets, to destroy electronics and missile guidance systems or to harm humans. This may be the first use against hostile troops.

The US deployed its own vehicle-mounted microwave weapon, called an Active Denial System, to Afghanistan ten years ago but it was withdrawn, reportedly without being used in combat.

It is suspected that microwave weapons were used in an attack against US diplomats and their families in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou in 2018.

They may also have been responsible for the symptoms described by US and Canadian diplomats posted to Havana from 2016.”

I think Professor Jin might’ve been on crack.

I think his comments were made at roughly 3 minutes into the 6 minute microwaving incident, as the standard procedure is to stir when half way through.

Less if you don’t pierce the film first.

This conflict has seen war at the two extremes - from high tech microwave weapons (if true) to sticks and stones.

The microwaves cannot pass through solid material.

There is a technique to withstand it involving hiding behind a wall and popping your head up momentarily to limit exposure.

This technique is called a peek'n duck.

I suspect there's likely to be more collateral damage from st jokes than the weapon itself

[Exige77]

The Indians will be turning the tables soon !!

[whitesocks]

I still reckon that China and India are going to have a conflict at some point. The question is, what will be the powder keg?

[JagLover]

I suspect China is looking for an opportunity to assert their dominance over at least one of the neighbours in the near future.

If it isn't India it will likely be an incident in the South China sea.

[PixelpeepZ4]

So what we actually saying here? the Chinese has been heating up an Indian in the microwave?

sounds like a battle of the takeaways!

2 nations that like bullying cos it makes them feel big? Unlikely they would get in a proper fight.
