The experiment could be the first publicly reported Chinese field test of the technology. China is trying to catch up after the US brought down 50 drones in a single blast in an experiment two years ago. — SCMP

An unmanned aircraft was brought down by a powerful electromagnetic pulse in what could be the first reported test of an advanced new weapon in China.

A paper published in the Chinese journal Electronic Information Warfare Technology did not give details of the timing and location of the experiment, which are classified but it may be the country’s first openly reported field test of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapon.
