It pairs radar and electro-optical sensors with intense microwave pulses to deliver a “hard kill,” potentially engaging small, low-altitude UAVs beyond three kilometers. Designed to slot into a broader air-defense network—alongside lasers and traditional guns—the system is pitched as a low-logistics answer to cheap swarms
China’s defense industry has disclosed new technical details and outlined some enhanced capabilities for its truck-mounted Hurricane 3000 high-power microwave (HPM) weapon, a directed-energy system designed to counter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drone swarms. The details were published by the South China Morning Post.

The Hurricane 3000, developed by state-owned Norinco, made its public debut at the September 2025 Victory Day Parade and has since been the subject of limited but growing official commentary. Chinese media has quoted Norinco engineers claiming that the system’s effective engagement range for small, low-altitude drones exceeds three kilometers – which, if true, would place it above comparable American microwave weapons in range.
Mounted on an 8×8 heavy truck chassis, the Hurricane 3000 reflects China’s growing investment in non-kinetic, directed-energy counter-UAV capabilities that aim to disrupt or destroy adversary electronics instead of relying on traditional missile or gun interceptors.

Ok, we get the point.
If the ChiComs have it, we’ve got it.
One of their “college students” probably stole it from us.
sounds like the weapons we used in the Maduro raid that created a “blacked-out” corridor in which our drones and copters operated and none of the chicon or russkie “hi-tech” weapons would function ... like President Trump just said, when they pushed their buttons, nothing happened ...
Hmmmmmmmm. Didn’t Air Force One experience “electrical issues” recently? Don’t FA, Chyna.
Another decrepit 50¢ Army website pimped by a blog pimp some years ago. No thanks.
Bkmk
Yes.
This poster is either an idiot or fiddy center.
It’s just the Temu or Alibaba version of a microwave.
Aka the “Pizza-Matic 3000”.
