Directed energy weapons, such as lasers and microwaves, have been developed by the United States, Russia, China, India, the UK, and Iran. Turkey was the first to deploy this technology in combat. Defense Secretary Mark Esper announced that China and Russia have weaponized satellites with directed energy weapons. There have been concerns about these advanced weapons causing the unprecedented fires in recent years. Laser-based weapons can destroy targets with external heat, while microwave weapons penetrate targets and ignite internal electronics. Satellite imagery shows an equal distance spread of fires starting within the same four hours, raising questions about the cause. Additionally, a beam of light seen in infrared spectrum appears to excite the heat signature of fires in California and Oregon. The timing of the deployment of these weapons is notable, leading to speculation about potential attacks with directed energy weapons.
