The Drones of the Armed Forces became a problem: the Russian Federation showed frames of work of the Chinese UAV laser (photo, video)
Laser systems allegedly have become an effective tool for the destruction of Ukrainian drones. The footage shows how the military inside a specially equipped car launches a complex. Optical installation with lenses for air purposes is put out from the upper part. The installation is masked with a grid and rotates 360 degrees. Previously, combat lasers were considered expensive and ineffective, but the modernization of technology has multiplied their capacity, Roszmi reported.
The video also shows how the beam melts holes in a thick steel sheet. The screen divided into sectors shows the laser shooting on the drone. The video of the frame of the beaten UAV with holes from the influence of the beam is completed. Now in the Russian Federation they want to turn combat lasers into an alternative to traditional air defense, especially when combating low -size and low -speed purposes.
The Defense Express command writes that it is a Chinese Low-Altitude Laser Defending System or Lass. This technology was previously noticed in Iran. The range of destruction of slow low -flying goals is up to 1. 5 km, the laser time to defeat the target - from 10 seconds. The "blinding" of the goals occurs at a distance of up to 3 km. The maximum laser duration is 200 seconds, the radar of the system sees targets at a distance of 500 m to 5 km. The deployment of the system takes less than 5 minutes.
In April this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the need for lasers that affect drones, planes and rockets. "The global trends in the development of military technologies should be taken into account as much as possible, to understand what potential armed conflicts of the future may be. And the future is rapidly approaching," the President said. Warrangers indicate the rapid development of laser air defense systems in the United States.
Locust's battle lasers successfully struck the MQM-170C Outlaw target weighing about 70 kg. The development is under a large program of creation of maneuverable air defense and includes the creation of 20, 50 and 300 kW of laser installations. Given the promotion of the US in the field of laser development, the backlog of the Russian Federation can become fatal, the authors emphasize. Recall that the US military laser recently broke the record for range, struck by the target at a distance of 8.
