Russia shows off new laser weapon against drones
-
This is literally what's happening with the US war in Iran right now, meanwhile Russian military industrial complex is state owned and it's outproducing all of NATO as openly admitted by mainstream western media.
Yeah but those facts are only valid when talking about how the barbaric asian hordes will invade all of Europe. In other situations they are very frail and have to use old museum pieces. Special operation.

Not to mention lasers move at the speed of light. That’s got to be a benefit, right? Is there no benefit realized from the boost there?
I think there is benefit there but not from a time-to-kill (since the laser kills via heat accumulation which takes some measurable time) but rather that it can be more responsive to evasive maneuvers from the target

They are going to use drones as an excuse to deploy blinding lasers.
Why would they need an excuse? Are you implying that "war crime" has any meaning to them (or anyone else with the power to do anything about them)?

Obvious response to drone killing lasers is a convex mirror finish, then anyone looking at the drone when the defense system kicks in could be blinded.

They have been looking into reflecting lasers since the Cold War. Even if you get 99.999% reflectivity, that only gives you a tiny window of time against modern lasers before the coating just goes poof thanks to tiny imperfections becoming hotspots
It's specially unviable for drones since most drones are supposed to be as cheap as you can make them.

Yes, and that’s literally where power comes in. The more powerful the laser, the further it stays coherent
Yes that's true but the power requirement (not to mention cooling) exponentially increases the further the object is because of the light spreading. The amount of burst power and light density needed for a long-range laser is bonkers and making it go further will requires exponential bonkers.
This is why they frequently fire them using pulses but even then getting them to destroy objects at a very long distance gets harder and harder the further the object is. If the drone flies near a laser then it works wonders. If the drone flies around the area laser then it's not much more effective than simple airshot munition.
I checked the article but didn't see a video in it so I'm not sure what the laser managed to do here.
Just because the reich can’t do something, doesn’t mean it’s not possible.
Maybe it is, but unless this interception was very long range they haven't found the magical bullet yet and it isn't much of an improvement over simple buckshot type munition or interception drones.
Ifmy high school physics and maths aren't failing me, it's not growing exponentially, it's growing quadratically because inverse-square law.

yay my shitty meme
Our shitty meme.
But seriously, I really liked it so I saved it. Thanks for making it.

ok thanks for confirming that you are pulling numbers out of your ass
Hmm... Well, if that is the way you respond to actual facts, I suppose have a great day my man.

Hmmm... well if you don't even understand the concept of facts, I suppose have a great day my man.
