us military to unveil new super-powered lasers capable of zapping putin’s nukes out of the sky - battery energy storage system
The US military is about to launch a new super-
Power laser capable of launching nuclear weapons directly from the air. The150-
The kilowatt-class weapons will be installed on warships that can "shoot down" drones, planes, cruise missiles and even other ships.
"Three years ago, a previous laser prototype conducted an amphibious test in the Persian Gulf," said former military editor Colonel Mikhail kodaruk --
Industrial Express.
"The navy commander is not satisfied with the test results of 30 people.
The kilowatts of guns and projects were transferred to another company, "and now it is believed that in a year the weapon will be ready to be deployed on an American aircraft carrier or destroyer.
"Laser weapons require a lot of energy, and a single shot requires a generator with a capacity of more than 450 KW," Khodarenok said . ".
The battery must last long enough to have a long battle with many opponents at sea and in the air.
The laser weapon generator also requires a spare accumulator or an energy storage unit that is charged during launch.
Donald Klick, director of DRS Power and Control Technologies, told warrior magazine that the laser gun battery for American ships had enough energy to do 100 shots before it needed to be charged.
It is well known that Russia is developing laser systems, but since these projects are top secret, there is very little information about them.
"Russian laser systems are incorporated into other weapons systems and are used for target missions and other combat support functions" new colonel military analyst (retired)
Victor Litovkin.
"The Russian system has not yet fully developed --
The mature combat independence proved by their American counterparts.
He went on to say that there is a fundamental flaw in laser weapons-so far, they can only be used under ideal weather conditions.
"At the moment, US laser weapons can only be operated in clear weather without rain, fog or dust," Litovkin added . ".
"In addition to that, when the Earth explodes on each side, the chaos of the real fighting conditions will also intensify.
