Hong Kong media quoted the views of experts from the Mainland, said laser weapons are not seen as effective, practical applications, there are many difficulties.

Foreign media said the revolutionary significance of

"Ta Kung Pao" published 22 reports described the contest laser air defense weapon onto the world platform. Reported that, with the assembly of the aircraft on the previous test Butong laser weapons, laser weapons Shiyong Xinyi Dai Zhe Zhong "solid-state lasers", Erfeijieyou Huaxuezuoyong Suochan Sheng laser beam. The laser gun range is the U.S. Navy secrets, but the U.S. media has said that they installed in the ships than the range for defensive purposes on the 20 mm gun away 3 times.

Reported that the development of air defense laser weapons for the purpose of analysis of foreign media that as more and more unmanned aircraft will be generally used for surveillance and attack fleet, it must develop unmanned aircraft defense against these weapons.

Chinese experts have questioned not yet mature

For 2016, the argument may be put into use, Song Xiaojun that "unrealistic", laser weapons technology is still "special immature." In his view, this weapons program more like a "pseudo-item" and even the authenticity of the video have to be verified, "such as ballistic missile defense system is also possible counterfeiting."

He believes that Americans are likely to "image projects", aimed to secure more funding from Congress. Song Xiaojun emphasized that laser weapons because of cost, technical and other reasons, the short term is unlikely to be a more cost-effective battlefield weapon.

Another military expert Xiao-Ning means, laser weapons are not seen as effective, practical applications, there are many difficulties. "Now we see that many of such reports, see the battlefield depends on the real effectiveness of it."
