According to China's Global Times, Xian Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has reached a breakthrough in X-ray technology.
The report said that Xian Institute is successful in developing X-ray pulsar simulation source, a technology that can create pulsar source in an X-ray tube for generating arbitrary waveform pulses. Beijing believes that this technological breakthrough will help them to develop pulse weapons that would challenge the United states' electromagnetic pulse weapons (EMP.)
In 1991 Operation Desert Storm, the United States used EMP weapons to disrupt telecommunication systems of Iraq. A year later, US Congress named the EMP as one of the six key future weapons technologies setting up plans for the US Navy, Army and Air Force for the high-powered microwave weapons development.
US also used the microwave weapon systems in March 1999 Nato bombing of Yugoslavia bringing down telecommunication systems for several hours. In 2003 Iraq War, the United States also used EMP weapons for cutting out TV broadcasts in Iraq.
