Keeping it simple for the chi-coms. in theater use of a laser, far more powerful— from the US side— would come from space, and be more powerful in multiples of 10 to the 3rd power, and no atmosphere to get in the way until the last 4 miles or so— seriously destructive. But wouldn’t expect to see it at a weapons sales expo for mooches from the chinee.
LOL. Wuuuu, wuuuu!!!
