Sonic Weapon in Venezuela? Experts Point to Known Tech.

Claims of a mysterious "sonic weapon" used against a U.S. government plane over Venezuela have sparked speculation. Some suggest it involved exotic military technology. However, security analysts offer a more familiar explanation. They say the alleged weapon was likely a high-power microwave or electromagnetic device. Such devices are not new. They are known to disrupt, damage, or destroy electronic systems. This type of attack is sometimes called a "non-kinetic" or "directed-energy" strike. The incident reportedly caused the aircraft's systems to malfunction. The crew made an emergency landing. There were no physical injuries reported. Experts note these tools are in the arsenals of several nations. Their use avoids traditional gunfire or missiles. This event highlights growing concerns about electronic warfare in global conflicts.
