Thank the Clinton Crime Family for selling high tech know-how to the ChiComs back in the 90s.

[DaveA37]

Just what the world needs.

It would seem to me that any reasonable amount of battlefield dust or smoke would diffuse any sort of laser to the point where it wouldn’t be effective at all. I’m sure that someone else could speak more authoritatively to this than I, but it just seems that the scatter would cause it to fail ...

Either this laser technology evolves as an effective anti missile weapon or all capital surface ships are outmoded.

[camle]

if it’s chinese, why are its markings in english?

[John S Mosby]

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!!!

[BillT]

Why does the Chinese weapon system have English on the side?

[DoughtyOne]

On the good side, it won’t work in six months...

[JmyBryan]

There were reports of us having something like this during the Panama invasion.

[usurper]

LOL we can just place active mirror tech on our tanks and bounce it off or reflect it back at them.

[Sasparilla]

Coming soon to a Harbor Freight near you. It’ll be in the barbeque grill aisle.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Specular reflection may be a defense and can potentially turn the weapon against itself.

[Brad from Tennessee]

What’s the power source of the mobile version?

[DungeonMaster]

The A-10 Warthog made tanks and this toy obsolete decades ago.

[Two Kids' Dad]

Kim Jong Un has been wanting one of these for getting rid of his officers without using mortar rounds or anti-aircraft guns.

[ObozoMustGo2012]

This could have been useful as a "enhanced interrogation" device....

[SpaceBar]

We just need to make something bigger, badder, faster, and more lethal. And while we’re at it, clamp down on sensitive technology transfers to china through scholastic espionage, and root out spies at our national labs.

[SpaceBar]

Just one more step towards the opening scenes of the first Terminator film.

I’m sure someone else has already thought of this, but how about shooting out a cloud of miniature corner cube retroreflectors when a laser strike is detected? Unless the laser pulse is very short, the beam will be reflected BACK where it came from, albeit much distorted.
