China's New 'Starlink Killer' Weapon: 4-Meter, 5-Ton Device Incinerates Satellites
- •Chinese scientists developed a compact High-Power Microwave (HPM) weapon, TPG1000Cs, to target satellite constellations like Elon Musk's Starlink.
- •The weapon is only 4 meters long and weighs 5 tons, making it easily deployable on trucks, aircraft, and other satellites.
- •It uses a special liquid insulator, Midel 7131, to produce powerful electrical waves up to 20 Gigawatts (GW), capable of disrupting Starlink satellites.
- •The system can operate stably for one minute, emitting approximately 200,000 pulses, and disables satellites without creating space debris.
- •China views Starlink as a threat due to its military use in conflicts and seeks to neutralize it without generating debris that could harm its own satellites.
