Scientists find ideal laser power to kill hypersonic missiles — China

Posted by in category: military

Chinese researchers have found that high-energy lasers could be an effective counter to hypersonic missiles.

They’ve discovered that there is an upper limit to the power the laser needs to be, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) has reported.

This special coating is what gives hypersonic weapons their edge. Without it, they would be prone to overheating, destabilizing, or even falling apart mid-flight.
