In this regard, Yi Fang said, "With the improvement of modern technology, the effective range of the current green laser pointers blinding weapons ranges from tens of meters to several kilometers, and it is not impossible to reach flying heights such as F-16 and P-3C. Maybe. However, during the high-speed flight of the fighter aircraft, it is almost impossible to directly irradiate the pilot's eyes with a laser beam. "
"In fact, laser blinding weapons are rarely used in actual combat." According to Yi Fang, during the Gulf War, the U.S. military shipped Formula Fish laser weapon systems and dazzlers to the Gulf battlefield and deployed them to troops, but they were not used in actual combat. . At present, only the British officially acknowledged that during the 1982 Macao War, large ships were equipped with a simple laser dazzle with a range of 5 kilometers, which played a role in fighting Argentine aircraft. Later, the improved version of the system was heavily equipped with Royal Navy frigates, destroyers and reserve fleets.
Earlier, some experts told reporters that the US military attaches great importance to the research of green laser pointer blinding weapons, and listed laser anti-sensor technology as one of the Army's strategic technologies. But with the development of technology, the current world military power is gradually changing the development direction of laser weapons.
"Blinding weapons like low-energy green laser pointer are no longer the focus of weaponry development. In addition to target detection and instruction, the focus of laser technology development is on high-energy laser weapons, and the strike method has also changed directly from 'soft killing' to ' "Hard killing," which far exceeds the performance requirements of laser blinding weapons. "Yi Fang said.
