> South Korea first to deploy laser weapons later this yearWe are in the future now, how does south korea keeping doing it? When will the US get these, should be on every tank, plane and shiphttps://x.com/mason_8718/status/1811373267976163347?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet
>>62054495The US has had these for years already.
>>62054495maybe we can stop spending ridiculous amounts of money on retarded airplanes that never get used.
>>62054504A 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
>>62054504Israel also has these for decades.Small(est) dicked small brained gooks will eventually find out why they aren't being used.
>>62054541>trying to put lasers on stealth jets is retarded and defeats the purpose of having stealth jetsLaser 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?
>>62054703Do, Chang. How DO ESL's...
>>62054711Did they teach you the concept of irony in special ed?
>>62054635> israel has these...If you are going to lie at least be halfway believableAll 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 yearWhy is south korea so far ahead of the rest of the world like this?https://www.defensemirror.com/news/34945/South_Korea_to_Develop_Laser_Weapon_Against_Aircraft__Missiles___Droneshttps://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/archives/2024/07/12/2003820709https://charter97.org/en/news/2024/7/11/602450/https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/29134402/worlds-first-star-wars-laser-weapons-north-korea/https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2024/07/11/3120651/south-korea-to-deploy-starwars-laser-weapons-to-target-north-korean-droneshttps://tribune.com.pk/story/2478825/south-korea-to-deploy-starwars-laser-weapons-against-north-korean-droneshttps://en.tempo.co/read/1890211/south-korea-to-deploy-starwars-laser-weapons-targeting-north-korean-droneshttps://www.defensemirror.com/news/34945/South_Korea_to_Develop_Laser_Weapon_Against_Aircraft__Missiles___Drones
>>62054529The US has deployed them already, DoD just won't say where for opsec reasons.
>>62054717How do that have anything to do with irony, retard
How long until Yamato Cannon?
>>62054732small asian dick problems. SAD.
>>62054635found the japshill. lol
>>62054504Ours 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.
>>62054495and all it takes is one overcast day to render it completely uselessimplessive.
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+..
>>62055847you're too stupid to participate on this board. please fuck off back to /a/ and /mlp/
>>62055920
>>62054495Check the catalogue retard. Also, this isn't new.
>>62054732>its the first deployed laser weapons everIron beam was already deployed in 2023 lmao
>>62055995cope. you cant escape physics
>>62055808That's where microwave weapons come in.
>>62056873but think of the birds!
>>62056892They'll make a fine meal.
>>62056873Fuck that. Masers are the only viable option. If they work on Kaiju, they'll work on anything.
>>62054495Laser based cram is nothing new, nor is sk the first to deploy them.
