As practice shows, laser weapons have lost their fantastic status and are already withdrawing from the promising section. On the eve of the New Year, the portal defenseworld.net announced that the Chinese corporation CASIC announced the start of export supplies of the LW-30 laser machine.
However, in the Chinese corporation their brainchild is not called a blaster, distancing itself from the tradition of science fiction writers. Officially, the local laser is called the "short-range air defense system." The LW-30 itself is a complex based on two trucks. The combat laser itself is located on one directly, and the radiological system for detecting airborne targets is placed on the other.
According to the published specifications, the laser installation is capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 25 km. Its power is 30 kW. At the same time, the LW-30 laser can not only fight drones and other low-flying objects, but also hit bombs and mines in flight.
It is noteworthy that in the United States the other day they also announced that they had begun the production of prototypes of laser weapons.
