"Electromagnetic war is an approaching reality. It will affect everyone — both on the battlefield and, as they say, on the home front. Because this is an entirely unconventional weapon, and as both theory and practice have shown, it can be deployed in completely non-traditional, selective, targeted, and sudden ways."
"5G technologies, which form a directed signal from multiple precise sources — that's the same principle that's applied here. [...] Our Soviet laser tank had multiple barrels, you could say, each of which was single-use, each requiring a powerful energy source. [...] But now, control systems allow forming that laser beam from multiple sources."
"Personnel get affected, civilian populations get affected — everyone gets affected. The United Nations issued a special report last year — a fairly thick document analyzing the development of new military technologies, including a large section specifically devoted to directed energy weapons and electromagnetic weapons. And human rights — because it's believed that all of this will affect civilian populations, naturally."
"Each year the Pentagon spends no less than a billion dollars on the roughly 30 programs currently underway within this major project — just investing in research, testing, biomedical studies, building dependency curves and programs, and so on. A portion of the money — more than a billion — goes to Israel, because they have joint production, joint development. Israel develops and supplies these laser systems to the United States."
"It's quite possible the Chinese are overtaking them — quite possible. The Chinese have invested colossal money in this direction, and what they're demonstrating now at their latest military parade... They displayed their electromagnetic guns, which in combination — you can set up several of them — can fully simulate the powerful electromagnetic pulse of a nuclear explosion. That's colossal energy, measured in gigawatts — that's very, very much."
