If a country was able to build a laser weapon system in space what would they do with it?

Laser is almost useless weapon on the ground but in space laser can travel freely without losing power. It could be used as anti-satellite or anti-icbm weapon.

When it comes to orbital weapons, kinetics are more practical right now. EXTREMELY powerful, and stupidly simple.

Lasers lose power with range so while you could fire a laser down to the ground it wouldn't do any damage unless it was stupidly powerful.

i would use it to super charge cloud seeding, heat water create high pressure wind systems just add energy into the plates to trigger an earthquake, i would weaponize earthquakes.
i am not worthy of this power, because i will not use it wisely ohhh fuck no just killing cannibals as fast and often as i could.
inb4 aids is from gay hatian cannibals.

Yeah this is more likely as an energy weapon
Use a series of adjustable mirrors to concentrate light

This is proven to be possible with jwt

There are research papers showing they work, and several governments have tested them
IIRC its 3GW laser pulse to cause a ionization channel that causes positive reinforcement of the beam

There was a program, where boings carried lasers to knock off icmb down. So it's possible.

Orbit is a fake secret society psyop.
That's why they are faking space exploration.
"orbital lasers" are irrelevant.

But they will fake it for you. Same as they did with 9/11, the holocaust, sandy hook, and the vaccines those people took.

Nothing really because anti sattelite rockets exist. Also, focusing a laser on targets more than 5km away is basically impossible.

one glownigger did this while gangstalking me in town. He glowed too hard and vaporisen himself. I guess it burn him in about 5 seconds before he was ash.

They still use the same suit, but there's a huge patch over where it was burnt through.

Probably first comms and as >>509989641 anti-satellite weapon. Probably impractical for ICBMs as they wouldn't have fragile guiding systems exposed like classic missiles.

It would probably be impractical to generate in space the huge power needed, so those weapons would have major drawbacks like idk huge reload times. Laser is very useful for comms though.

Not in space, because the air is extremely thin.
>>509995192
Anti-satellite rockets (basically modded ICBM) make everything explode around them, making a lot of people annoyed at the collateral damage.

A useful case could be defensive antisatellite, to counter e.g. Russian spying sats that go lurking from sat to sat.
