China takes big step towards developing ‘Starlink killer’ weapon

Independent.co.uk and 1 more

China has developed the TPG1000Cs, a compact high-power microwave driver approx. four metres long and weighing about five tonnes, potentially powering Starlink-disrupting weapons.
The system can generate pulses up to 20 gigawatts, vastly exceeding the roughly 1 GW threshold thought necessary to disrupt Starlink-like satellites.
The study claims the driver achieves continuous one-minute operation with about 200,000 pulses, a milestone over much shorter, bulkier predecessors.
Experts frame such microwave drivers as harder to detect and attribute than traditional anti-satellite weapons due to lack of debris and plausible deniability.
Researchers located at the Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology in Xi’an attribute the advance to the liquid dielectric Midel 7131 and a dual-width pulse-forming line.
The study notes miniaturisation of an integrated Tesla transformer and pulse-forming system as key to the compact design.
The reported device, TPG1000Cs, is presented as a candidate for mobile platforms, including trucks, aircraft, or satellites, to enable flexible deployment.
The article discusses Starlink and other satellite networks as potential targets for disruption, highlighting the strategic implications of compact microwave drivers.
The article contrasts microwave approaches with traditional weapons, noting lower debris risk and different strategic considerations.
Independent coverage notes the device as a potential world first compact driver for HPM weapons, aligning with earlier disclosures about miniaturisation.
The report situates the findings within a broader context of space weapons research, where several nations explore microwave capabilities for satellites.
The new reference provides the most up-to-date framing, noting Starlink disruption potential and the driver’s small, mobile form factor.

Saab is considering arming its Gripen jets with a proven drone-killer rocket after watching Ukraine's war

Businessinsider.com

Saab is considering adding APKWS to Gripen fighters to use a cheaper 70mm option against drones.
Saab wants to mount APKWS on Gripen C and E, potentially with multiple munitions per hardpoint.
Ukraine plans to potentially buy up to 150 Gripen E fighters, supporting Saab's export interest.
APKWS is already deployed in Ukraine on other systems, showing the weapon's practical use against drones.
Cost per APKWS round is estimated between $20,000 and $35,000, far cheaper than AIM-9 or AMRAAM.
The APKWS is typically mounted on aircraft with multilaunch pods and is used by U.S. forces against drones.
Saab aims to enhance mission readiness by enabling faster turnaround after landings.
Sweden, South Africa, Brazil, Thailand, and other nations fly the Gripen.
The APKWS has potential deployment on Saab Gripen as a multi-munition capable option.
