the beam weapon, trotted out by Russian defense minister Anatoly Serdyukov, is capable of some serious frying:
Precise details have not been revealed but previous research has shown that low-frequency waves or beams can affect brain cells, alter psychological states and make it possible to transmit suggestions and commands directly into someone's thoughts.
Mr Putin has described the guns, which use electromagnetic radiation like that found in microwave ovens, as entirely new instruments for achieving political and strategic goals.
Plans to introduce the super-weapons were announced by Russian defence minister Anatoly Serdyukov.
“The development of weaponry based on new physics principles; direct-energy weapons, geophysical weapons, wave-energy weapons, genetic weapons, psychotronic weapons, etc., is part of the state arms procurement program for 2011-2020,” Serdyukov said at a meeting with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

Hmm, interesting stuff. Should make future warfare somewhat different. If it can 'alter psychological states and make it possible to transmit suggestions and commands directly into someone's thoughts' then you could just beam into enemy soldiers heads that they give up or kill each other or kill their leaders. A bullet-less, bomb-less war perhaps? Possibly NOT technology people as corrupt as the various militaries and governments worldwide should have. Imagine what would happen if these became widely available? 'But your honor I didn't rape her, she came on to me' (after I fired a mind control gun at her and told her to) or 'But your honor I didn't willingly commit that murder, voices in my head forced me to' Don't like where this is going...

Plans to introduce the super- weapons were announced quietly last week by Russian defence minister Anatoly Serdyukov, fulfilling a little-noticed election campaign pledge by president-elect Putin.

Imagine a weapon that creates sound that only you can hear. Science fiction? No, this is one area that has a very solid basis in reality. The Air Force has experimented with microwaves that create sounds in people’s head (which they’ve called a possible psychological warfare tool), and American Technologies can "beam" sounds to specific targets with their patented HyperSound (and yes, I’ve heard/seen them demonstrate the speakers, and they are shockingly effective). source
The microwave auditory effect, also known as the microwave hearing effect or the Frey effect, consists of audible clicks induced by pulsed/modulated microwave frequencies. The clicks are generated directly inside the human head without the need of any receiving electronic device. The effect was first reported by persons working in the vicinity of radar transponders during World War II. These induced sounds are not audible to other people nearby. The microwave auditory effect was later discovered to be inducible with shorter-wavelength portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. During the Cold War era, the American neuroscientist Allan H. Frey studied this phenomenon and was the first to publish[1] information on the nature of the microwave auditory effect

Of course, my main distress with news like this is the perennial conspiracy theorist's dilemma... "If we are hearing about this NOW... how long has it been in use in an 'unofficial' way and on a 'test' basis?" Also, if "they" have it ... you KNOW "we" have it. And if we do have it... well... DARPA's got some 'splainin' to do.
