"The 'Washing Machine' is Real! Actual Footage of Domestic Laser Weapons in Action"

What use is a "washing machine" that can't wash clothes?

In fact, this is a domestically produced laser weapon.

What is its true power?

Let's take a look at the real strike scene ↓

"Light Arrow-11E" relies on laser pulses

to instantly "blind" drones

It looks somewhat like a container device, which is the "Light Arrow-11E" multi-mode composite terminal interference system.

On the battlefield, "low, slow, small" drones typically use covert infiltration, flying at altitudes that are in the detection blind spots of traditional radars. When responding to their attacks, the "Light Arrow-11E" acts like a quick-reacting guardian.

The "Light Arrow-11E" uses pulsed lasers to achieve precise targeting, directly hitting the core components of drones, instantly "blinding" them and rendering them incapable of reconnaissance, data transmission, and other combat functions.

"Light Arrow-21A" excels in "hard kill"

can burn drones from several kilometers away

Fiber optic drones are widely used in modern warfare, and their biggest feature is that they transmit flight data and images to the operator in real-time via fiber optics, making them difficult to jam electronically; the only way to deal with them is often to shoot them down.

The "Light Arrow-21A" adopts a "move and shoot" response mode, which maintains fire suppression while avoiding easy locking by the enemy due to being stationary.

In terms of strike mode, "Light Arrow-21A" excels in "hard kill" capabilities, capable of forming a high-density energy beam from several kilometers away, continuously acting on the drone's structural components, breaching the target drone's shell in a short time, burning out internal circuits or power systems.

Soft and hard collaborative combat

"Discover and destroy"

The two combat modes, "soft" and "hard," target different distances and threat levels, perfectly filling the gaps in their respective combat ranges.

As combat "partners," both the "Light Arrow-21A" and "Light Arrow-11E" are equipped with phased array radars and infrared reconnaissance systems, allowing them to interconnect through both "wired and wireless" methods, achieving real-time information sharing and precise target locking and identification.

According to Zhou Shuiliang from the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, laser weapons, as a new type of equipment in a new domain, can automatically allocate strike firepower through multi-dimensional detection and intelligent recognition, with very strong response speed and adaptability to battlefield environments. In terms of systematic combat, the two types of equipment can achieve a combination of hard and soft capabilities, collaborative combat, and can quickly link with radar, electro-optical, and other early warning detection systems, forming a closed loop of "discover and destroy," ensuring the safety of key areas.
