#3I would assume that shortly after Havana, most embassies installed equipment to detect sonic or microwave blasts.
Given that we haven’t heard anything about these sensors being tripped, I’m going to assume anything after Havana is mass hysteria.

#4The biggest mystery to me is why the hell someone would do this. What are they gaining? Are they trying to frame someone else? Just disrupt operations? For the spy vs spy lulz?
Second biggest mystery is how they haven't just triangulated these. Someone in signals intelligence told me once that signal jamming is not a big problem on the battlefield because a signal jammer is also a bright RF beacon that says "shoot missile here." Seems like this should be the same. A microwave beam powerful or weirdly modulated enough to do this should also be an arrow that says "send camo dudes with big guns here." That's definitely going to happen if you are targeting the Vice President. Or maybe it did happen and it's secret.

Many possible reasons. If Russia is behind this, it's a great proof of concept test of low traceable weapon that can target and disable high value targets of relatively high profile.

#6Where’s the part where they send a device to detect microwaves or sonic waves, and find them? How come it doesn’t occur to journalists to ask this? As per the article, they found the signal in Moscow, and there weren’t even symptoms to prompt them to do so. Another commenter mentioned “triangulation”. It’s less than that. There is no reported observation of a signal of any kind. History Channel “ghost hunters” are more serious than this.

Maybe it’s currently just a test to see if it works & can be gotten away with.
Does anyone know how powerful it would have to be and therefore how mobile it could be?

You’re absolutely right. One of the affected people claimed in an article that I read that they were attacked in the street in the middle of DC. If this tech exists and is really so portable, seems like you could do a lot more damage than just making some CIA and State Department employees retire early.

#9> few people know the full picture
In large orgs this always translates to no one knows shit.
Anyway I am pretty sure its a sophon doing its thing.

Sorry but you should be downvoted for comments like these.
They have actual recordings. It sounds like crickets to those being attacked.
This article says it's safe to listen to the noise, but be careful -

You can't explain things like this.
