China Announces ‘Starlink Killer’ Microwave Weapon, Says It Can Fire 60-Second Bursts

A high-power microwave (HPM) weapon is reportedly being developed in China as a potential solution to large constellations of low-orbit satellites, with Beijing describing it as “Starlink’s worst nightmare.”

The TPG1000Cs system, built by scientists at the Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology, is claimed to sustain up to 20 gigawatts of power for one minute, delivering roughly 3,000 high-energy pulses in a single use.

It measures just 4 meters (13 feet) in length and weighs about 5 tons, enabling it to be mounted on trucks, warships, or even space assets.
