The Ministry of Defence has said the laser "boasts pinpoint accuracy" and can cause "structural damage or more impactful results if the warhead is targeted".
You genuinely have poor reading comprehension. Okay let me walk you through this, laser weapons require extremely high grade manufacturing and electronics to produce. China is a leader in this.
Chinese metallurgy is top tier and they have all the rare earth production there as a result. This is very important for battery technology, which is critical for lasers. They will have plasma batteries for aircraft eventually, but that’s not important for this stuff right now. The energy density requirements for aircraft are ridiculous. They may need parallel anti aircraft drones to fly along with next gen fighters that carry directed energy weapons in appropriate conditions.
I’m not debating you point by point your overall view of their military and tech capabilties seems to be from the 90s
You’re just talking to an American who has investment experience, sorry that we care about actual facts instead of Reddit karma. Karma doesn’t depreciate because it’s completely worthless, like you.
By the way, you’re really stupid if you’re taking any article that has a big red laser seriously. You should know what a freaking laser looks like man. Grow the FUCK up
I am an American, that’s what I mean about oil refinement silly pants.
The battery stuff is important for understanding China’s going to be the leader in directed energy weapons use in actual warfare. They already have truck-mounted platforms that swivel like pan tilt and zoom cameras.
They are not “stealing tech” lmao we don’t have their metallurgy or automation capabiities now. It’s no longer just a scale issue
Most of those stories are guys whining about agreements they signed, but now regret. Tough shit. Tech transfers happen. Soon China will be the leader in sub 5 nanometer chip foundries, give it a few decades
K, suck that Pooh dick harder man.
This isn’t even a cogent response to what I said just a “things they did that don’t counter anything you said!”
“Your country” and “we can’t even”
You guys got get your narrator down right next time.
