Did China use microwave weapons on Indian soldiers?
Asia Times ^ | November 18, 2020 | Dave Makichuk

According to international studies expert Jin Canrong, Chinese troops used a “microwave” weapon to force Indian soldiers to retreat by making them violently sick, The Times of London reported.

The electromagnetic weapon, which cooks the human tissue of enemy troops, “turned the mountain tops into a microwave oven” and made the Indian soldiers vomit, Canrong told his students in Beijing.

China’s forces decided to use the weapons because the altitude was too high to fight against a team of Tibetan mountaineering specialists, Jin said.

News of the weapon’s alleged use in the Himalayas comes as China and India discuss ways to de-escalate tensions on the rugged mountain frontier.

The nuclear-armed neighbours have deployed tens of thousands of troops, tanks and aircraft since tensions erupted into the deadly clash in June.

The two sides are now discussing a staggered disengagement from the border area where temperatures have dropped to -18C, Indian officials said.

Jin said the microwave weapon was used after India used Tibetan soldiers, known to be skilled in mountainous terrain, to seize the two hilltops on August 29 this year.

The weapon heats water molecules in the same way as the kitchen appliance, targeting water under the skin and causing increasing amounts of pain to the target from ranges of up to 0.6 miles away, The Times reported.

I thought that there was a “no weapons” policy on both sides?

I would think we have a newer, improved and more compact version ~after all, we were the creators of the technology.

Seems they staggered them already.

I thought the nausea inducing weapons were sonic in nature - low frequency stuff that induced ah "unpleasant" side effects in the human gastrointestinal track... I thought there were some aircraft (large high powered prop planes) that could produce the same effect.

I thought the microwave stuff "merely" made the target feel uncomfortably, painfully hot on the surface of their skin. The frequency is/was chosen intentionally not to penetrate so as not to cause permanent damage, but also because on the outer skin is where the nerve endings are that you want to stimulate. So those weapons use a frequency slightly higher than a typical microwave - same basic effect, less penetration.

Just takes a little tweak, setting adjustment, or malfunction, accident or not. To render all weapons more lethal.

Sounds like raw recruits had bad cases of altitude sickness - if that’s all he’s got.

“I thought the microwave stuff “merely” made the target feel uncomfortably, painfully hot on the surface of their skin. “

It’s called an Active Denial System. The US uses it for crowd control. Been in use for almost 20 years.

The Indian soldiers should wrap themselves in aluminum foil, or chain mail.

NOAA built a kilowatt class solid-state 95 GHz radar mounted aboard the hurricane hunter aircraft, to measure small particle sea spray generated by surface wind.

More ChiComm propaganda. Every video I’ve seen of the skirmish shows the ChiComm “supermen” getting their asses kicked.
