Curious if others think this is mostly propaganda or what. Doesn’t seem like weapons like this becoming available is ultimately good for anyone.

I submitted this for exactly this reason. Tbh nothing here sounds very fantastical. Perhaps drones with ir/thermal basically gave soldiers wallhacks. We also have to understand that they are not up against a modern sophisticated military.

What I would like to see is more witnesses and perhaps more footage.


It might have been something like Millimeter-Wave / Microwave Weapons (e.g., Active Denial System) - see this: https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-23-106717 .
