    A new weapon capable of bringing down swarms of enemy drones in a single burst of microwave power could soon be seen on the battlefield.
    The US Army has awarded defence tech company Eprius a contract worth just over $66 million USD to deliver prototypes of the device called Leonidas.
    Although the weapon downs enemy drones, it leaves friendly aircraft intact.
    The Russian invasion of Ukraine has demonstrated how small, cheap drones pose a threat in war .
    They are used for direct attack, reconnaissance and target spotting,.
    Outside of war zones, they can also be a deadly nuisance if are sent into civil airspace.
    Swarms of drones can overwhelm a location's traditional defences or force the deployment if missiles costing millions to destroy a drone costing only a few hundred.
    The Epirus Leonidas is a high-power microwave that has been under development for some years and the new funding is intended to transition the technology to field-capable prototypes.
    It defends against drones by firing blasts of microwave energy that disrupts or destroys the aircraft's electronics, sending it crashing to the ground.
    It can even be devloped to take on cruise missiles.

    OPS: The Leonidas will be developed for use against cruise missiles as shown in this render

With precision digital capabilities, it can pick one target out of many, or attack an entire area at once in wide beam mode.It can drop swarms of drones creating a force field no electronic device can pass through unharmed.Thousands of rounds can be fired per second.The US Defense Department is preparing to start rolling them out for operational use, following a prototype demonstration in which the Leonidas successfully took down 66 out of 66 drones.

    Cat Survives After Being Cooked In Microwave
    A man tried to kill his pet cat by microwaving it after it scratched his hand, a court has heard.

    After loosing his temper, Stephen Stacey, 20, of Portsmouth, placed the animal inside the kitchen appliance.

    He then cooked it for five seconds, causing the 'defencless' animal to be zapped with harmful radiation and to cook from the inside.

    Amazingly, the black and white cat, who has now been named 'Nancy', survived the ordeal, despite still emitting heat seven hours after the incident.

    Portsmouth Magistrates' Court heard how Stacey's neighbour Simon Allen was woken at 2.30am on February 25 this year when Stacey's girlfriend Jade, 17, knocked on his door in tears.

    After hearing what had happened he went round and confronted Stacey, asking him where the cat was.

    He then "opened the microwave and the cat walked out with his tongue hanging out".

    Sarah Wheadon, prosecuting, said: "Simon Allen went to their flat and the defendant said the cat had scratched him. He showed him his hand which did indeed have scratches on it.

    "Stacey told him he had intended to kill the cat by throwing it out of the window or putting it in the microwave.

    "He said he had been in the microwave for about five seconds".

    Mr Allen took the cat away from Stacey, who had been drinking all day, and back to his flat where he called the RSPCA.

    Ms Wheadon added: "RSCPA inspector Jenny Ride examined the cat and found the top of her eyes were red and she was still hot to touch".

    In order to save Nancy, Jenny put her in the bath and poured three jugs of cold water on her to cool her down.

    She was then taken to a local vets where ice packs were placed in her cage to keep her cool.

    It was discovered that she had suffered injuries to her eyes, brain tissue, other internal o...

    CURRYWURST CRAZE: GERMAN SAUCY SAUSAGE DISH GETS OWN MUSEUM

    Germany's favourite fast food has been immortalised in its very own museum - the Deutsches Currywurst Museum.

    Located in Berlin, the museum is a sausage shrine dedicated to all things currywurst - sliced hot pork sausage swimming in a curry-tomato sauce.

    Currywurst is as German as pizza is Italian, hot dogs are American, and fish and chips British.

    With sauce recipes that vary from city to city and even fast food stand to fast food stand, in Berlin alone around 70 million currywursts are consumed every year.

    The new museum opened in August 2009 to commemorate the dish's 60th birthday.

    It explores all aspects of the traditional fare, as well as doling out samples of the tasty favorite to hungry visitors.

    Exhibits include sausage sofas, a curry "spice chamber" and a movie montage of all-time currywurst cameos.

    According to the museum the currywurst craze can be traced back to post-war Berlin in 1949, when the city had been left devastated from the war.

    At the time the dish was known as "poor man's steak" because most Germans couldn't afford a proper piece of meat.

    According to legend it was a German housewife called Herta Heuwer who first rustled up the dish after getting her hands on some English curry from British soldiers.

    She started sellling her dish from a street stand on the fringes of what was to become Berlin's red-light district and it quickly became a favourite with locals.

    At its height Mrs Heuwer's stand was selling some 10,000 servings per week and she later opened a small restaurant that operated until 1974.

    Her success saw imitators spring up across th...
