2025 China Victory Day Parade

China showcasing and unleasing its firepower, is a necessity in the world now.
The west needs to take note and calm down and retreat back its stupid globalist agendas.

Has there been any viable laser weapons in use in any military? Last I heard only some experimental weapons were being tested.

Saudi Arabia has been deploying this laser weapon successfully against Houthi rockets and UAVs. Here's a summary of what's been reported:

Reports indicate Saudi Arabia has acquired and deployed the Chinese-made "Silent Hunter" laser weapon system. It's designed for anti-drone defense and is considered a low-altitude system.
Alleged Combat Use:
  • In March 2022, reports suggested the Saudi military successfully used the Silent Hunter to shoot down 13 drones belonging to Houthi militants in Yemen.
  • Some sources claim this could be the first instance of a laser weapon being used in actual combat globally.
Key Features and Benefits (based on manufacturer claims):
  • Low Cost: Reportedly less than $1 per shot, significantly cheaper than missile interceptors.
  • High Engagement Rate: Can engage multiple targets at once and switch targets quickly.
  • Effective Against Drones: Designed to counter the growing threat of low-cost drones that can be difficult for traditional air defense systems to track and intercept.
  • Versatile: Available in both fixed and mobile versions.
  • Potent: A Poly video showed this laser could "ablate" or penetrate five 2 millimeter steel plates at a range of 800 meters, and an official stated it could penetrate 5 millimeters of steel at 1,000 meters.
Important Considerations:
  • While widely reported by Chinese state media and other sources, independent verification of the Silent Hunter's combat effectiveness remains limited.
  • Laser weapons, in general, face limitations, including reduced effectiveness in adverse weather conditions (e.g., fog, clouds).
This information suggests that Saudi Arabia is incorporating Chinese laser weapon technology into its defense strategies, particularly for countering drone threats. While the full extent of the system's operational history and capabilities in combat remains to be seen, its reported features highlight the potential advantages of directed-energy weapons in modern warfare.

This summer, Russia was reported to be using Ukraine war

Gonna need more verification and assesment on its viability. I have heard of experimental laser weapon shooting down aerial objects. But, it still requires a huge amount of power per shot and I don't think any country has solved that problem yet.

Is that a HQ-9C launcher or a quick reloader/replenishment type trailer?

By the looks of it it seems like the actual launcher and is quite similar to russian S-350...maybe a neW LOMAD SYSTEM???
