I have some good pics from internet to share here, about China unknown high-power lazer weapon system (maybe prototype). No more details & no more ask coz i also have no idea it just see pic.
China unknown high-power lazer weapon project (news ever reported something), as big as U.S Navy FEL.

Awesome job!!! The FEL looks amazing and I hope to see it on the Type 055A when the plans for it are finalized, i still think guns (conventional and not rail guns which require larger power consumption) and missiles will form the backbone of the ship, but a laser would make a great defensive addition. Contrary to popular belief as well, fog, surf and high seas don't actually cause too many problems to laser weapons, especially at higher powers. The HEL MD has been tested in adverse conditions and the US is actively testing laser weapons on-board the USS Ponce even as I write this (operation status is expected next year). China should have no problem adapting lasers for counter-battery and ship-borne defense. Thank you very much for the pictures, I knew you were the right person to ask! Very much looking forward to any new advancements. This is one American that watches China's rise with awe and not suspicion and fear.
