Vladimir Putin claims that Russia has a laser weapon that can blind satellites and burn holes in them in five seconds.

The fact is that these kinds of claims and speculations have introduced in the Soviet era. At that time. There were rumors that the Soviets have massive laser stations near Moscow. And the DOD artwork introduced speculations. About what this type of laser station might look like.

There were a couple of incidents where the Soviets targeted satellites by using lasers for covering their secrets. The satellites were not blinded completely and the laser ray just disturbed the photo-recon satellites. The things like CCD cameras and computer-aided photography decrease laser rays' effect. The CCD camera sends images to the computer by using all pixel groups separately.

And all pixel groups are sensitive to a certain wavelength of light. So the system connects the image by using multiple separate images. And the computer can remove the wavelengths of the laser rays. The weakness of the laser ray is it has only one wavelength. And the system can remove the frequency of those laser rays quite easily. But the thing is that the laser systems that can destroy satellites are existing or under development.

The new laser systems are impressive weapons.

New laser systems can destroy multiple 60 mm. mortar ammunition. So they can protect all non-armored or armored vehicles and headquarters. They can use to defend things like GPS and other satellites. The laser system can also use in an offensive role. The same satellite that uses the laser weapon for defending itself against kinetic energy missiles can use to destroy other satellites.

Raytheon system is tested Stryker-mounted laser systems that can take out 60 mm. mortar rounds and small and large drones. Those systems can also incoming antitank missiles. And they can be the next-generation tank-defense systems.

But the same laser system can also install on the satellites. And it can use for both offensive and defensive roles. If a similar laser weapon. That mounted on Stryker will be installed in satellites that system can destroy incoming kinetic energy ASAT (Anti-Satellite Systems).

The fact is that the small land vehicles, helicopters, and aircraft have laser weapons that can destroy the drones or even larger aircraft. Laser rays are also powerful tools against enemy soldiers. When a high-power laser impacts the body of the person that causes hydrostatic shock because cells are exploding.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

"This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things. That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries. "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft. Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things. In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion. If we th
