Chinese laser weapon nearly unusable
>Saudi Arabia: Laser weapon purchased from China is nearly unusable
>In the desert, it took 15 to 30 minutes to successfully shoot down a drone with the laser, instead of just a few seconds
>"Despite its good performance during trials, SkyShield has proven less effective under real conditions than promised," Defence Blog quotes him as saying. "In some cases, it took between 15 and 30 minutes of continuously targeting the objective with the laser and firing multiple times in order to guarantee the destruction of a drone."
>This makes the Silent Hunter component almost useless. The maximum range for destroying a drone is given as 4 km. A kamikaze drone of the Shahed type, such as those Russia uses against Ukraine, flies at around 180 km/h."
