UK-made, invisible radio wave weapon knocks out drone swarms for the first time.

Weapon has potential to help protect against drone threats as nature of warfare changes.

"invisible radio wave"

Whed have radio waves not been invisible to the naked eye?

I am assuming undetectable waves. That is the enemy won't know where the waves are being fired from or even that they are being fired at all.

Light is also an electromagnetic wave, just like radio

I think it was just emphasizing that it's an invisible weapon, not quantifying.

Oh, you didn't have to edit your comment. I was joking and didn't meant to shame you. It's good for building vocab for us ESLs so I did appreciate it.

I just edited it to fix a typo (emohasizing)

In the beta test of Earth. Luckily they realised how much that fucks with us and reverted the change.
