			Psychotronic weaponry is probably one of the least known and little 
			understood fields in military research, as it is truly something 
			which one would relegate to the realm of science fiction if they 
			were not aware of the facts behind it.
 
 In fact, it is so poorly understood that even some journalists like 
			Sam Biddle of
			
			Gizmodo and the 
			
			Australian Herald Sun show a 
			disturbing amount of ignorance on the subject.
 
 Biddle seems to get confused by the fact that these weapons 
			reportedly have the capability to create physiological sensations 
			like burning (like the American 
			
			Active Denial System, also known as 
			a “heat ray” or “microwave gun,” which utilizes super high 
			frequencies).
 
 Biddle exposes his ignorance by conflating the super high frequency 
			(SHF) used by the Active Denial System (ADS) with the low-frequency 
			waves used by psychotronic weapons.
 
 I consider this somewhat like thinking a flame thrower and a .22 
			rifle are the same because they can both injure and kill people.
 
 Both types of weapons use invisible waves and are far from 
			conventional weapons, but that is just about where the similarities 
			end.
 
 These weapons, which were confirmed by none other than Vladimir 
			Putin, Russian President Elect, according to 
			
			the Herald Sun, 
			reportedly attack the central nervous system.
 
 Here is another instance of Biddle being completely confused by this 
			technology, which is a bit surprising and disconcerting seeing as he 
			works for a technology blog.
 
 The ADS activates the water molecules on the skin like a microwave, 
			thus creating the sensation of heat. However, if reports are 
			correct, the Russian weapon targets the central nervous system, 
			which is an entirely different mechanism.
 
 While they both obviously use electromagnetic radiation, one targets 
			the water in epidermal cells while the other reportedly goes 
			straight to the target’s central nervous system (how exactly this is 
			done is unclear at this point).
 
 In fact, these weapons are far from new, as Nick Begich heavily 
			documents in his book 
			
			Earth Rising: The Revolution, Toward a 
			Thousand Years of Peace.
 
 Thankfully, the Herald Sun points this out in writing,
 
				
				“Research 
			into electromagnetic weapons has been carried out in the US and 
			Russia since the ’50s.” 
			It was reported that the plans to introduce the so-called 
			super-weapons were announced by Anatoly Serdyukov, the Russian 
			Defense Minister.
 However, I have been unable to find media reports confirming this 
			statement, other than the report which has been copied word-for-word 
			across the internet, including the Herald Sun and 
			
			News.com.au.
 
 There also seems to be confusion about where some of the quotes 
			originated, as the article which has been so widely published 
			attributes a quote to a “Mr Tsyganok” who is never properly 
			identified.
 
				
				“When it was used for dispersing a 
				crowd and it was focused on a man, his body temperature went up 
				immediately as if he was thrown into a hot frying pan,” they 
				claim he said. 
			I believe that the “Mr Tsyganok” they 
			cite is actually Anatoly Tsyganok, the head of the Military 
			Forecasting Center in Moscow.
 The full quote, according to the 
			
			British Daily Mail, is,
 
				
				“When it was used for dispersing a 
				crowd and it was focused on a man, his body temperature went up 
				immediately as if he was thrown into a hot frying pan. Still, we 
				know very little about this weapon and even special forces guys 
				can hardly cope with it.” 
			Unnamed sources claim that Putin 
			described the weapons as, 
				
				“entirely new instruments for 
				achieving political and strategic goals.” 
			Another quite damning quote, allegedly 
			from Putin (which, I honestly doubt is accurate since saying such a 
			thing would be quite damaging), reads,  
				
				“Such high-tech weapons systems will 
				be comparable in effect to nuclear weapons, but will be more 
				acceptable in terms of political and military ideology.” 
			It’s hardly politically savvy to compare 
			a weapon to nuclear weapons then say that it is acceptable for use. 
			  
			In fact, even mentioning that your country has such capabilities 
			would be far from intelligent from a political standpoint. 
				
				“This is a serious weapon,” Tsyganok 
				added, reinforcing the fact that it makes no sense for the 
				Russians to publicly promote such a weapon, unless they were 
				doing so as a deterrent of some kind. 
			The problem I see with this entire story 
			is that the Daily Mail and others have used it as a chance to claim 
			that Putin would use it against Russian dissidents, even though 
			there is absolutely nothing to back up the claims.
 The Daily Mail’s headline, “Putin targets foes with ‘zombie’ gun 
			which attack victims’ central nervous system” emphasizes just that.
 
 Furthermore, it is worth pointing out that the Russian Ministry of 
			Defense refused to comment on the matter, which makes little sense 
			if Serdyukov indeed announced that they were planning to introduce 
			the weapons.
 
 However, there are indeed bits of information indicating that Russia 
			is already using the weaponry. Aside from the many pieces of 
			information which point to Russian research in the area going back 
			decades, which Begich and others have thoroughly documented, the 
			case of Sergei Serykh indicates that they may be in use already.
 
 Sergei or Serguei Serykh was a Russian asylum seeker in the United 
			Kingdom, along with his wife Tatiana and his stepson.
 
 All three of them died, allegedly by 
			
			committing suicide, on March 7, 
			2010 when they fell from the Red Road flats in Glasgow, Scotland.
 
 There are 
			
			conflicting reports that Serykh was a former agent of the 
			FSB, also known as the KGB, while others say he was with Russia’s 
			foreign intelligence agency, the GRU.
 
 The Daily Mail claims that he spoke of a psychotronic weapons 
			program to the MI6, although I cannot locate any corroborating 
			reports.
 
 Furthermore, they claim that he said he was a victim of these 
			weapons, which he said were,
 
				
				“many times more powerful than in 
				the Matrix films.” 
			Once again, all I can find are copies of 
			the article, not other reports which back this purported quote up.
 The case of Serykh is quite mysterious, but what is certain is that 
			this weaponry has been in development for a long time and it would 
			be foolish to think that the Russians were not actively pursuing 
			this route.
 
 However, I seriously doubt that Putin or other Russian politicians 
			would want to expose such a thing to the international press, 
			especially at a time when the West seems increasingly antagonistic 
			towards the former Soviet state.
