Chinese scientists have developed a high-power microwave (HPM) weapon powered by Stirling engines, potentially revolutionizing directed-energy warfare technology. This weapon has the potential to efficiently suppress drones, military aircraft, and even satellites, but faces challenges such as low efficiency and limited range. The development of compact HPM weapons may have implications for resisting resistance and avoiding collateral damage in potential Chinese invasions of Taiwan.
