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.

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

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
