More details will come soon.

This test will perform a higher speed than last time.

It is time to unveal our laser weapons（vehicle、ship and air-based）。

Does China have them?

I have heard of the laser weapon, it can shoot about 200km right now.

And it will be available on the coming Type 055 DDG.

Let's wait and see then.

Let's wait and see then.

Even if the laser system won't appear in the lead ship of the Type 055, but it will definitely appear in its improved variant.

Hypersonic objects are laser-proof.

China invested heavily on killer-laser for almost 40 years.

US will not be surprised they are overtaken again.

Nature is another problem to laser weapons. Not just the velocity and materials that goes into making this hypersonic object.

But where's your country flag, cirr? I thought you were proud to be Chinese?

 

[cirr]

Does China have them?

Sure。

Quite a few systems on multiple platforms are at active and advanced stage of development。

We will hear more about them in the next couple of years。

But where's your country flag, cirr? I thought you were proud to be Chinese?

Got lost somewhere and I can't be bothered to have it back。

Yes，I am intensely proud of my country。
