China is seriously conducting research and development and practical development of laser weapons sung in science fiction films. Back in 2015, Jiuyuan conducted the first successful tests of a laser intercept system for low-altitude aerial targets.
In China, weapons based on new technologies are in full swing. Chinese-made military laser systems produce more and more impressive results every year.
At the time of testing in 2015, an experimental laser installation could detect and destroy an inconspicuous moving target with a speed of up to 50 km / h in five seconds at heights up to 500 m. The range of the system was 2 km.
In 2017, it became aware of the creation in China of a mobile ground-based laser complex Silent Hunter (Silent Hunter). It uses a laser power from 30 to 100 kW. The maximum range is 4 km. At its base, a more powerful version is created to intercept missiles.
Recall that in Russia, from December 1, domestic systems of modern Peresvet combat lasers were on combat duty. The complex will be actively used both in anti-aircraft and in missile defense.
