Washington: US President Donald Trump once again bragged about America’s secret weapon on Friday. He called it ‘Discombobulator’. It means to confuse, harass, mislead or mentally disturb someone. Trump said that this same technology had disabled the defense system during the US Army operation in Venezuela in January, due to which Russian and Chinese systems also could not function.

When did Trump tell about the secret weapon?

He said this while meeting the special forces who had captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro at Fort Bragg Military Base in North Carolina. This comment of Trump has come out publicly for the first time about that secret device. Trump said, ‘They also talk about the ‘discombobulator’, because he could not fire a single bullet. The Russian system didn’t work, the Chinese system didn’t work. Everyone is trying to find out why they couldn’t do the job. Maybe one day you will come to know’, he had also talked about this a little in an interview last week.

What is ‘Discombobulator’?

Trump has named the weapon, but did not share any information about it. He said he is not allowed to talk about it. According to some reports, it does not appear to be a conventional bomb or missile, but may be a combination of electronic, cyber or energy-based technology, which temporarily disables enemy radar, communication and defense systems. Because this weapon is so secret that there is only speculation about it. It is believed that many things are involved in it, like-

Electronic warfare that jams or fries radar, communications and missile systems.
Directed energy weapons, such as high-power microwaves or sonic weapons, which can render equipment useless by overheating and causing confusion, nausea, or headache in humans.
Cyber ​​disruption and acoustic disorientation that hacks or affects systems with sound waves.

Used in Venezuela operation

On January 3, in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, US special forces detained former President Nicolas Maduro and his wife through helicopters in the dark of night. Trump said that in this operation the enemy’s defense systems were disrupted by the ‘Discombobulator’, due to which any Russian or Chinese defense system was paralyzed before it could be activated.
