Russia claims it has a giant microwave gun that can destroy drones from 6 miles away
2015-06-26
"When mounted on a special platform, the 'microwave gun' is capable of ensuring perimeter defense at 360 degrees," said a spokesman for the Kremlin-owned United Instrument Manufacturing Corp, according to Sputnik News.

As well as its reported capabilities for taking out drones and warheads, the so-called microwave gun is said to disrupt radio frequencies and "deactivate the equipment" of low-flying planes, the report said.

The system has a range of 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) and can be fired in any direction.

#10  Fear notteh, Amerika, Vlad Putin will save you from the wily dastardly Hellfire-armed Drones + Hollow-points of the Obama Administration [you know, POTUS Dubya], + the ISIS/ISIL building up across the border in Mexico!


To wit,

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY: VLADIMIR PUTIN ORDERS MOSKVA-LED MISSLE-ARMED RUSSIAN NAVAL ARMADA DEPLOYED TO OFF THE COASTS OF TEXAS [Gulf of Mexico] + ATLANTIC SEABOARD. WARSHIPS FROM RUSSIAN BLACK SEA FLEET + NORTHERN BANNER FLEET TO COME WIDIN "STRIKING DISTANCE" OF US.

Dare Amerika's future OWG NAU Partners Mexico + Canada + Greenland coordinate wid the Bammer to stop Vlad + Russia's mighty ocean-going Fleet-Salvage Tugs???

YOU CAN JUST FEEL THE MONROE DOCTRINE, CAN'T YE!?
