The US has had these for years already.
>>
>>62054495
maybe we can stop spending ridiculous amounts of money on retarded airplanes that never get used.
>>
>>62054504
A few other countries to include the US have working prototypes but nobody has been able to figure out how to build a deployable version at scale until now

ships are easiest with AN/SEQ-3 LaWS already in deployment, IFPC-HEL is under development because the US military is retarded and won't settle for anything less than death lazors that melt steel, but lasers on jets? hopefully never lol
trying to put lasers on stealth jets is retarded and defeats the purpose of having stealth jets (e.g. striking projectiles vs striking the things that launch the projectiles, obviously the latter has inherent efficiencies that make stealth work it)
lasers should be local to larger planes like AWACS or hi/lo mix planes with extra electricity like the new murder cropdusters (pic related) - these have extra room for heat disperson and unblocked surfaces to add radiators and shit, and they're in defensive roles by design not attack roles
>>
Overrated and not reliable, Japan will be the first one to deploy a reliable laser
>>
>>62054504
Israel also has these for decades.
Small(est) dicked small brained gooks will eventually find out why they aren't being used.

Laser are relatively short ranged so they don't impede stealth directly. If you engaging target with the laser good chance its already defeated your stealth.

How does ESLs keeping finding this site?

Do, Chang. How DO ESL's...

Did they teach you the concept of irony in special ed?

> israel has these...

If you are going to lie at least be halfway believable

All of the newswires globally are saying its the first deployed laser weapons ever, the 20kw version will be deployed in a few months, a 300kw version within the next year

Why is south korea so far ahead of the rest of the world like this?

The US has deployed them already, DoD just won't say where for opsec reasons.

How do that have anything to do with irony, retard

How long until Yamato Cannon?

small asian dick problems. SAD.

>>62054635
found the japshill. lol
>>
>>62054504
Ours is larger sized (and higher output) that is only fits on battleships and one could argue its not production ready yet. Seems theirs is mobile sized for rapid deployment and as such is smaller and lower power output but should be enough to take out drones as is their primary intent.

>>62054495
and all it takes is one overcast day to render it completely useless

implessive.

Psa: any anon posting anti-rok weapons is confirmed to be on the other side of team freedom and likely placed immediately on a watch list, US/NATO pushing hard to bring ROK in earnest onto the Ukraine battlefield more than just cursory support and the past few days indicate validation of nato+..

They'll make a fine meal.

>>62056873
Fuck that. Masers are the only viable option. If they work on Kaiju, they'll work on anything.

>>62054495
Laser based cram is nothing new, nor is sk the first to deploy them.
