GERMAN New LASER Air Defense Systems SHOCKED The World! 

who would interest a small country?

You only need a mirror to be armoured... 🥴 .

@@jonnes__4657 a country never won a war, see

"While these systems could be deplored as part of an offensive, their main function is defense, a very worthwhile endeavor." Ohhhh you sweet innocent little soul... I assure you they will not be used by a small nation to defend itself from a bigger ones weapons. But rather, to protect the bigger nations combined arms assets while they stomp the smaller nation into submission. 🤗

@@jonnes__4657 until the laser burns trough your mirror yes

but only their own civilians right?^^

@@QuicksilverVM first of all they dont injure other civilians 2nd they arent supposed to protect enemy civilians from their own military

​@@user-um2oe9hz8vAre you high?

Laser induced fusion kind of works diffrent than what lasers actually do. Even if you had a powerful laser that would be able to do large amounts of damage, it would never cause a fusion, because Laser induced fusion kind of works by using multiple lasers that hit symetrical points inside something that is similiar to a cylinder. The Lasers hitting the walls of the cylinder will create kind of shockwaves which will compress the fuel core and increase its temperature so much, that it is able to create a fusion. The fuel Core is also made out of specific elements that are needed for a fusion and it all needs to be very symetrical or else the core woulnd be able to completly compress like we need it too. You also would need a lot of Energy to get a laser even that strong to do large amounts of damage on a target, but fusion wouldnt happen.

@@BodenPflanze I know that, but I wondered if someday it might be powerfull enough to cause fusion although it is not causing an implosion. Simply by producing enough heat in one tiny spot (so that inertia and temperature is enough).

​@@BodenPflanze NIF, on the other side of town, uses a sphere and not a cylinder. Also the wavelengths are changed to x-ray. Otherwise you are correct.

​​​@ProjectsBlack You are decades out of date. There have been auto trackers dating back before 1990, long before modern AI. The effects of clouds and mist depends on the wavelengths of the laser and the IR tracker. A very powerful laser will create a hole thru mist or clouds. High or far away clouds will not have an effect with short range defense.

​@@marcelmommsen5308 Look up the power of LLNL NIF, it uses more power during the tiny instant it fires than the whole USA grid.

Thank you😉

True, but the range on these is in the ballpark of a mile or two, and there aren't usually clouds at that altitude. So even if they can't target a plane up at 10,000 meters, they can destroy any bombs, missiles, or drones that plane might deploy against ground targets.

The cloud is high in the sky. This laser works at short ranges and is Infrared not visible. Long wavelengths don't see clouds.

would a mirror backfire 🤔?

​@@Philtown100not much since at some point the power of the laser is just so powerful it burns through the mirror anyway

😉

So true, and dont mention your stick has laser weapons hahaha !! The fear mongering over the west not being able to take out Russian hypersonic missles just makes me laugh, they announced laser weapons almost a decade ago, which if you look at tech throughout history this means they have been using them for decade at least before that.

you forgot Israel

​@@user-fo6oq5wm4w There is another country that is not on that list too.

Note that cutting metal is done by these commercial lasers, so metal reflective coating as a counter measure only helps a little.

U forget Mali Hawaii

Looks like they have one released at the same time with America in the title not Germany, I haven't watched it but lots of these channels use the same footage in similar videos

Mirrors aren't 100% effective, and will absorb a small amount of incident light. If there's enough of it, this can in turn damage the reflectivity, making it less reflective, making it take more damage, etc.

Japanese and Australians have been working on countermeasures, will incorporate and retrofit these measures into there F-35s.

Regular passive IR is just as good at tracking as a laser unless the laser is much shorter wavelength. Also any kind of metal reflective coating would be vaporized on the first pulse. Commercial Lasers have been cutting thru metals since 1990.

These lasers are used to intercept incoming missiles, bomb and drones. Not as long range offensive weapons.

There are plenty of things hotter than the sun surface.

It can blind the crew in a split of a second. Forever. This shit should be banned!

whit enough power you could microwave the whole vihicle

A mirror would send the laser beam back to the shooter... 😵 .

​@@lutzj74 They banned lasers blinding snipers decades ago. Also your eye does not transmit longer IR wavelengths.

Re watch the video. These are short range defense weapons.

Yep, think about the speed of light.

Probably, but infantry has the advantage of having lots of things to take cover behind, and they're already plenty experienced in doing exactly that. Things up in the sky generally lack that option.

The problem with mirrors is that they also reflect important wireless connections to controll the drone

Come on. Lasers have been cutting thru metals and metal mirrors for 30+ years.

I've seen some powerful lasers vs mirrors. The mirrors dont fare well cause they heat up and crack, eventually melt. Some lasers are powerful enough to basically punch a hole straight through it 😅 photons are FAST, have enough of them and eventually it's like a minigun of light bullets, they impart momentum and heat reflecting the photons off, but that energy has to go somewhere

If the missile spins as well, the heat will be distributed and dissipated. A highly reflective mirror is going to absorb very little of the energy anyway, a fraction of one percent, and it can be insulated with a ceramic jacket. But better still is a kind of reflector that redirects the beam back to source. The body is a honeycomb of 90 degree dimples, coated with a transparent material for aerodynamic. That will brings the taste of the medicine back to the laser.😊

@@FractalNinja A photon has no mass... .

​@@madsam0320 A rotating missile effects it control surfaces and path. Even if rotating, the lasers only take a couple of seconds to work. Commercial Lasers have been cutting thru metals since before 1990. The first pulse will evaporate the reflective coating while the second pulse starts on the ceramics. Ceramics don't conduct heat well, so the laser will be more effective and start evaporating the ceramic. The honeycomb allows the laser to bypass it thru the holes and start on the next surface.

F-22 has gone thru testing in the Chrome or Mirror Testings, haven't really heard the outcome, either bad nor good, the US are more advanced than you think. FAX and Internet was product of the Militaries to Civilization..

@@randygillespie4952 Very interesting point you brought there. More interesting is the fact that the outcomes are not published. When it come to high intel, you can hear more info from what is not said than from what is said.

> The best mirrors have a reflective coefficient of 1 part per million In a lab, sure. Now try getting that level of efficiency from a free-flying missile that has to endure repeated handling in combat situations, shocks, weather conditions, etc. A tiny smudge of grease on that shiny surface absorbs the laser light and heats up to oven temperatures (see the well known documentary Real Genius for a demonstration), which warps and cracks the mirror, causing it to be less reflective, absorbing more energy, rinse & repeat and the missile goes down. Even then, the goal can sometimes be to simply elevate the cost of the opposing weapons by forcing them to include more and more esoteric defense systems. More expensive missiles == fewer missiles, as surely as if you'd shot the difference out of the sky. That sort of calculus typically favors the weapons system for which each 'shot' costs a couple dollars worth of electricity.

I think that result is for a mirror optimized to reflect one frequency against that target frequency. If you can tune the laser, or if you don't know the frequency of the laser beforehand, you can't get that performance even in a lab.

Wrong, 0.0001% reflection mirror is a very special all dielectric high reflector that only works at certain angles and wavelengths. The kind of mirrors you have experience with that work at large angles and wavelength bands is Aluminum metal mirrors that absorb 2-3%. These laser systems are designed to work on metals like Aluminum. Nobody designs a laser weapon to only work with high absorption materials.

Basicly any particle that's in the way in front of the laser to the target

Atmosphere alone is dense enough to limit modern-laser weapons to a certain range. The laser would need to cut a tunnel by evaporating the atmosphere in its path to further extend its range. Then only problem would be that you would need significantly more power the further the laser would have to travel.

IR sees thru clouds and dust. Your fire department uses IR cameras to see thru smoke. This IR not visible.

​​@@DerNikerWhat are you talking about. They use lower power lasers to measure the moon's position for decades. The atmosphere transmits much of the IR.

If it hits a mirror .

Germans invented it, and thought of it first.

​@@ElectronicHouseFlash Wrong, USA lasers intercepted missiles in 1980's, the problem was it took a building size Laser. Look up ABL, long before Germany did anything.

Drones are slow. It does not take much energy to blind a drone. Also Russia and Ukraine are jamming each other's drones.

Drones are a joke to defend. U wouldnt need a lasser.

Not very much.

Look up laser mirrors, they are limited and complicated. Your idea of a commercial metal mirrors will evaporate on the first pulse.

IRST or visible cameras can track drones.

Problems: It can be used for attack also other than defence!

These are Infrared lasers not visible. Also there is no 'Z' in laser. The 'S' means something. Why does your fire department use IR cameras to see thru smoke. Also chaff falls down and behind plane away from the laser. IR works in rain and fog too. Commercial lasers have been cutting thru metals since before 1990. Metal mirrors will be destroyed by high power lasers.

Think about what a camera lens does to a laser beam, focus it. Also think about what missiles, bombs, drones and planes carry. The fuel ⛽ of there own destruction, fuel ⛽ and explosives 💣. You just have to heat them.

Most lasers are pulsed for decades now. These lasers in the video are really multiple pulses that last seconds. The peak power of pulsed lasers are higher for the same average power. For these multiple pulsed lasers that fire over seconds, the key is total energy delivered not so much peak or average power. There are other very short pulsed systems they are working on that have extreme peak powers that just a couple pulses destroy things.

Rheinmetall and Oerlikon had a partnership developing Laser Weapons

Oerlikon is owned by rheinmetall since 1999 and is therefore far from being independent.

Na eher wenn du mit deiner E-Kiste am Schnellader stehst 😂😂

Rheinmetall is working on a 1,2 Megawatt Laser

Funny comment but why not. ;-) I live in a house that for more than three years has been supplied with energy only by sun and wind and a storage system. It works great if you think about it in advance and include energy-saving measures and energy-efficient appliances. It will be decades before this concept is accepted in a country like the USA. Europe is far ahead in this respect.

Cant handle other countrys haveing better tech 😂

"Peace", its probably not really faster but could nullify the need of defences overall, but since we are Humans, laser, and drone warfare it is. =)

By definition, there's nothing faster than light.

Evet, Almanlar icat ettikleri silahlarla 2. dünya savaşını çıkartıp 70 milyon İnsanının ölümünden sorumlu. O kadar iyi mühendisler ki gaz odalarını icat ettiler...

So sieht es aus, Wernher von Braun! Ohne uns🇩🇪 wärt ihr nie auf dem Mond gewesen.

I still would buy the Dutch a slight edge, German, Brits and Swiss are next. Nordics, French, Austrians and now even Ukrainians are not far away.

Not more I think so many times to stop entering about Wapon so many leave Germany that is Fact

Can you expand on that?

Sounds like the SDI bomb-pumped X-ray laser.

We are communicating over the internet that uses 40 to 160 lasers wavelengths down each fiber optic for over 25 years. This video talks about 6 laser wavelengths being used. Combing laser wavelengths is old tech.
