There are several high-powered radio antennas around the world. But in relation to HAARP, they're like a child's cap gun compared to a 50-millimeter cannon.

When you look at the other patents built upon the work of Eastland, it becomes clear how the military intends to use a HAARP transmitter. It could give them a tool to replace the electromagnetic pulse effect of some atmospheric thermonuclear devices still considered an option by some planners. It can replace the huge, extremely low frequency submarine communication system.

It could replace the over-the-horizon radar system once planned for the current location of HAARP with a much more accurate system.

In a show of force, China sent a dozen warships and over 70 military aircraft in drills encircling Taiwan.

China also unveiling a deep sea cable cutter capable of cutting undersea communications lines up to 4000 meters deep. That's almost two and a half miles. This could sever Taiwan's undersea internet and power lines in a wartime situation.
