Recently, the mainland has once again received good news in the field of laser weapon research -- it has successfully explored and developed an efficient cooling technology for laser weapons. This achievement marks a major breakthrough in this field for China and plays an important role in the development of laser weapon applications around the world.
For a long time, laser weapons have attracted much attention because of their fast, accurate and powerful destructive power, and the practical application of laser weapons has been greatly limited due to their high cost and technical difficulties. It is worth noting that China has made significant progress in research in the field of laser weapons, and has successfully developed a laser weapon system called the Silent Hunter, which has been tested in Saudi Arabia. The test results showed that the system is effective in combating suicide drones at a relatively low cost, without worrying about issues such as ammunition reserves.
In addition, a paper on China's laser weapon research was recently published in the journal Acta Optica Sinica, detailing the mainland's latest research results in laser weapon cooling technology. This breakthrough means that the mainland's laser weapons not only have the characteristics of high speed, precision and fierceness, but also have the potential for sustainable development, and China's research results in the field of laser weapons will greatly promote the progress of global laser weapon technology and have a far-reaching impact on the future mode of warfare.
Compared with traditional weapons and equipment, laser weapons show their unique advantages of excellence. Not only does it rely on clean energy as its power source, but it is also significantly more expensive than those high-value missiles and armored vehicles, and its application cost is almost negligible. Further, laser weapons are not limited by trajectory movement and can achieve precision strikes at any location. Its powerful destructive power is enough to easily penetrate the protective layer of armored vehicles, and it can show outstanding performance in the battlefields of the navy, air force, army, and space combat environments.
For the United States, they face a serious challenge: their carefully constructed Starlink satellite system may no longer be safe. Since China's laser weapons technology has once again surpassed that of the United States, this means that the protection capabilities of Starlink satellites will be seriously threatened. As an important pillar for the United States to maintain global hegemony, the importance of Starlink satellites is self-evident. The program aims to achieve communication, navigation and diversified services for the U.S. military by deploying tens of thousands of satellites in low-earth orbit, and the Starlink satellite also has the ability to intercept intercontinental missiles, because it can intercept the stage when the missile enters the outer atmosphere after launch, which is one of the most convenient ways to intercept intercontinental missiles.
In the face of the rapid progress of China's laser weapon technology, this defense system may be seriously challenged, because laser weapons can easily penetrate the protection of Starlink satellites, making it easier for missiles to break through defenses, in order to effectively curb the expansion of the US Starlink program, we need to adopt two key strategies, we must actively compete for space resources in low earth orbit. Given that the vast expanse of low-Earth orbit has not yet been monopolized by any country, it is essential to seek effective means to destroy the U.S. Starlink satellites, given that the deployment of a large number of satellites will allow us to gain more resources to strengthen and consolidate our capabilities. Laser weapons are an ideal option because they are highly destructive and not limited by the gravitational pull of the Earth. Once we successfully develop and deploy this weapon, we will be able to deal with the U.S. Starlink satellites.
In peacetime, satellites of various countries carry out their own tasks, and there is no direct conflict, once a war breaks out in the future, Starlink satellites may pose a major threat to us, and the use of laser weapons to clear part of the space in low earth orbit has become the best solution. This technological breakthrough will not only promote the application of laser weapons on more platforms, including mainland naval ships and air force J-20 and other fighters, but will also significantly enhance the mainland's position in the global space strategy. Although the mainland started relatively late in the field of laser weapons, with firm determination and sustained efforts, we have achieved the latecomer first, and even surpassed the leader in some aspects. Once the mainland successfully equips the J-20 fighter with laser weapons, the US F-35 stealth fighter may find it difficult to maintain its superiority in the face of the J-20.
For a long time, nuclear weapons have been regarded as one of the most lethal and powerful weapons in the military field, this is almost indisputable, we must recognize that nuclear weapons are a double-edged sword for mankind, it has both a huge deterrent power and a potential risk of devastating catastrophe, and now the core role of nuclear weapons is more about deterrence than actual use, in the future military competition, the country that can take the lead in developing more advanced and powerful conventional weapons will undoubtedly occupy the initiative on the battlefield, Laser weapons use the high energy density of the laser beam to cause damage to the target in a very short time, such as causing explosions, burning or destroying electronic equipment, etc., and can attack at the speed of light with almost no delay, making it difficult for the enemy to react.
Laser weapons, as a new weapon system with low investment and high returns, are gradually showing their unique advantages. It uses electrical or chemical energy to convert into powerful light energy to achieve precise strikes on targets, thereby destroying enemy weapons and equipment. It is worth noting that the energy use of laser weapons is harmless to the human living environment and shows excellent performance in penetrating armor. If China can successfully master the technology of laser weapons and put it into actual combat, the US armored forces, air force fighters, and naval ships will face huge security challenges, and may even lose their combat effectiveness in a matter of seconds.
In the field of laser weapons research, China has made a major breakthrough that is difficult for the United States to achieve. The United States will undoubtedly face enormous challenges if it wants to catch up with China in this field, and China will not be complacent, on the contrary, we will continue to increase our research and development efforts and continue to explore more powerful laser weapon technology. Because we know very well that only with sufficient strength can we ensure the stability and development of the country.
