A new radio wave weapon was successfully tested in the UK.
The Ministry of Defense of the Kingdom said that it can neutralize a group of drones "almost instantly", the department's website reported.
“These weapons have the potential to help protect against drone threats as the nature of warfare changes“, the statement said. It is noted that this weapon is a type of directed radio frequency energy weapon.
According to the department, more than 40 million pounds sterling have been spent on research and development in the field of radio frequency weapons. The British Ministry of Defense believes that in the future such weapons could become an addition to traditional missile-based air defense systems.
It is emphasized that the weapon is capable of countering even those threats that cannot be blocked by electronic warfare systems.
Earlier, The National Interest reported that Russian electronic warfare systems effectively counter Starlink satellite communication terminals.
