Okie what I meant by Very few projects was this is OLD stuff. And none of the developed nations are persuing it actively anymore. Theres that hush hush star-wars program conducted by US Defence Dept which included these death rays. But no one knows how successful they were. The very few videos (released by the US govt) of the projects were suspected to be fake. Now that covered.

where we have the First picture posted by you. It says following statement under the picture:
**From the Variable Energy Cyclotron, energetic heavy ion beams were available for experiments. **
Indus-1 indus-2:
**CAT is engaged in developing synchrotron radiation sources Indus-1 and Indus-2, and accelerators for basic research, industrial and medical applications. **
do you see anything about frying air planes in mid air?
Kali-5000
Which all the sites call mean-satallite-frying-machine is…
**BARC continued with the testing of 500 keV accelerator, upgradation of KALI-5000 system, and setting up of an Electron Beam (EB) Centre at Kharghar, Navi Mumbai in collaboration with SAMEER. The EB Centre will be a commercial facility of electron beam irradiation. **
Again no mention of military uses.
While this is good research its nothing close to what you make it look like. This was mid last year so the news is not THAT old. This kind of research takes decades.
I read somewhere that Kali weighs 26 tons needs 12000 lit of oil to be stored with it and is a single shot machine, hardly a feasible weapon.
They say its being improved but I couldnt find it on official sites.
So lets not concentrate on prospective and proposed weapons, shall we?
