Do they have a bunch of Chinese guys helping out in the factory where they are made?
It doesn’t “fry” the drones. It disables the electronics of the drone. I understand that there are relatively simple computers that run on the paths of fluid rather the paths of electrons. Could be developed as a guidance system for future drones. Why brag about something used in war?
DEWs ?
I thought urinalist’s said those were conspiracy theories ?
.
Decades ago I was told that one way to deal with smugglers bringing drugs into the U.S. via small planes was to use existing radar systems to direct a pencil beam to of energy to burn out the aircraft’s electronics and splash them into the gulf.
What if the drones are painted blue?
The answer to that question is reserved for discussion in the next session of the WEF.
Will still burn out other absorptive materials like optical sensors.
OK.
I don’t believe that we will see the technology to evenly cook a gas station burrito in our lifetime. Directed energy weapons. Gauss guns. Nanotech. But evenly cooked burritos may be beyond our abilities.

I wonder if we’ll hand the technology over to China in the usual way, by using it in Ukraine. Hopefully not, as I HOPE that Trump’s people understand that military secrets are better when, well, they’re kept SECRET.
I believe that you’re correct
The outside of the burrito will be on fire
But the center of the burrito will stil be frozen ice
much like the ice the submarine broke through in
Ice Station Zebra
The system has been in development for a few years so we shouldn’t be surprised if the Chinese have either already stolen the technology or were given the technology by the Democrats in gratitude for campaign donations.
“Possibly consider changing friends.”
The 7/11 post clubbing burrito was the best thing in the world. Then they built a White Castles.
Bacon! Nature's answer to good nutrition!
I want one!
Yes, but we have been assured that the workers are only there to adapt the technology for Chinese Restaurants.
You can’t have any of your own arms in the same air space; they’ll get fried too.
The Mosquito Zapper.
Sounds like something out of a Dale Brown “Dreamland” book...
