The lasers will take out US and European satellites from the ground killing off the Washington’s ability to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles in retaliation.
The lasers will take out US and European satellites from the ground killing off the Washington’s ability to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles in retaliation.
Even basic military communications may become impossible if the super-powered lasers take down key communications network satellites.
Electromagnetic railguns and high-power microwave weapons are also being developed, according to military expert Richard Fisher.
And he claims the push to produce these futuristic weapons is to neutralise US intelligence along with communication and navigation satellites.
Ground-based radars would first be used to identify enemy satellites, with precision targeting ensured by a special camera.
And a deployable membrane telescope would then focus the laser’s beam on the target, before obliterating it.
