Chinese weapon uses 1.080-nanometer laser to carbonize fabric in 1 millisecond and melt 2,5 cm steel sheets in just 17 seconds
China has just added a stunning innovation to its military arsenal: a new military drone equipped with a laser so powerful it can vaporize human tissue in milliseconds. This breakthrough, which looks like it came straight out of a science fiction movie, puts the country in the spotlight when it comes to directed energy weapons. But how does this technology work? And what are its implications? Let’s find out together.
What is the new Chinese military drone equipped with laser?
China's new military drone uses a weapon directed energy, capable of emitting a concentrated laser beam. This type of technology is specifically designed to neutralize threats, including other enemy drones or high-strength obstacles. Imagine an invisible sword capable of cutting through even metal – that’s what we’re seeing here.
The laser used in the drone has a power of 1 kilowatt, with a wavelength of 1.080 nanometers. To give you an idea, lasers of this class (Class 4) are normally used in industrial processes, such as welding and metal cutting. A single millisecond of contact is enough to cause instant vaporization of the fabric, while materials such as plastic, wood and even metal sheets cannot withstand the devastating power of this weapon.

How does the laser-equipped military drone work?
The powerful laser isn’t mounted directly on the drone, as it’s still too heavy for a compact model to carry. Instead, the drone is equipped with two tubes that act as relays. The first tube collects the laser light emitted by a ground station, while the second reflects and directs the beam. The result? Enough energy to vaporize fabric and melt metal in fractions of a second.
To give you a practical idea, the laser can melt a sheet of metal in about a tenth of a second. A 2,54 cm thick steel armor plate would take approximately 17 seconds to completely melt. Now, imagine what it can do to lighter materials or human tissue: instant vaporization.
The impact of lasers on military operations
The new military drone promises to revolutionize operations combat. Its ability to destroy enemy drones quickly and accurately reduces the need for traditional ammunition and makes operations more agile. The laser is virtually silent, generating no smoke or debris, which increases its effectiveness in tactical situations.
Compared to conventional weapons, the laser offers significant advantages. It is extremely fast, virtually instantaneous, and there is no need to reload ammunition. The cost per shot is much lower than traditional projectiles or missiles. It is a futuristic solution that could completely change the battlefield.
What does the future hold for military drones with powerful lasers?
Despite the advances, the technology still faces some challenges. The weight of the laser system is a significant limitation, which prevents the drone from carrying the power source on board. Weather factors, such as fog or dust, can interfere with the performance of the laser beam.
However, researchers are optimistic. With continued advancements in lighter materials and compact power sources, drones are expected to soon be fully self-sufficient. This means we will see a new generation of even more powerful and versatile weapons on the global military stage.
China's new military drone with powerful laser is a impressive milestone in development of directed energy weapons. Capable of vaporizing human tissue and cutting through even robust metals, it shows how technology is redefining military operations. There are still challenges to be overcome, but the potential of this innovation is immense.
Fud$ed me!
Fud333u n... There is something called EMP... Electromagnetic pulse that can burn everything electronic in the radius of action depending on the level of the EMP... EMP is electro magnetic pulse and to explain it in a reduced way. It's the same thing that those ships in the Matrix release to kill drones that come full of lasers to kill humans... The US has already made EMP grenades with a significant blast radius, very similar to the transformers on poles that exploded because of lightning before modern protections... That's why when it rained in the past, you had to turn everything off because a lightning strike could make a transformer explode, generating an EMP and burning everything nearby that was energized, causing a short circuit in everything and burning everything... In addition to defense using EMP against drones, it can also be a defense by burning tires or releasing smoke grenades, etc... What I know is that laser weapons are a reality and their defense is total and 1% effective, which tends to make conflicts go back to being analog... Oh, and every nuclear bomb generates EMP and if it's not analog or turned off, it burns everything... Everything dies... So this weapon will be used a lot in the future, it's for combat in space because there you can't shoot because if you shoot without being fixed, it pushes you away. backwards, decreasing the power of the shot... Moving the sight, etc... So yes, weapons in space will probably all be laser weapons (and there is no dust there to interfere with satellite warfare).
The report praises a weapon capable of decimating humanity, which perhaps wanted to be part of the horror of war.
The text reads: “The first tube collects laser light emitted by a ground station, while the second reflects and directs the beam.”
Well, then the beams received by the drone have the potential to destroy the drone itself.
What is the intention of the article?
Apparently it's a game of mirrors.
BIGGEST MARKETING GAME ****. UNTIL YESTERDAY UKRAINE WAS EXPLODING EVERYTHING IN RUSSIA WITH ITS LASER DRONES. LIKE STAR WARS, BETWEEN THE FORCE AND THE DARK SIDE.
IT'S LIKE A MEDIA POKER GAME, WHOEVER BLUFFS WINS THE MOVIE TITLE:
“I HAVE THE STRENGTH.”
WHAT ARE THE TUPINIQUINS' COUNTRIES LIKE?
WILL THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR INTERNATIONAL SECURITY?
BUT…
WHO ARE THEY GOING TO PAY?
