I love the fact that he told us he had to talk about that mobile game so I could skip that entire minute
He should have kept those transformers with those 3 magnetrons and just plugged them in to the wall. The results would be catastrophically amazing with about 5.1 Kw of power. If of course his camera would survive that...

Not very useful of a gun if it has to be plugged in to an outlet to work, basically you're just The Microwave Show at that point... but I'd definitely want to see what would happen.

Definitely should've hooked up some car batteries or something at least
I was definitely expecting him to go full Mythbusters and say "okay, so how far do we have to go to actually get the results the Ukrainians showed off?" Disappointed he didn't. Maybe he can be bullied into making a sequel video.
i want to see more things break...
If he put a CRT monitor there, would anything interesting happen?

Yes, and now that you mention it, I desperately want to see this. EM fields destroy CRTs in some delightful ways.

If it was on you'd probably get the same sort of artifacts you get with magnets. Not anticipating any permanent harm to it though.

If even one magnetron is powered to it's full potential, it will most likely destroy drive electronics to the point, that you may see some smoke and fire but the CRT itself would probably survive unless arcing would punch hole through CRT glass somehow, but that is unlikely since CRT runs at much higher voltages then microwave.
You can cause permanent damage to CRTs with a strong magnet just by holding one up to the screen, it permanently distorts the picture. I'd anticipate a strong microwave emitter to do much more impressive stuff.

It doesn't really destroy CRT it only causes memory effect which can be removed by putting current through degaussing coil. Some tv's and monitors have even dedicated button for this.

I was mostly talking about the tiny tazer powered thing in the video.

Yeah that most likely will do no permanent damage.
