Launching a PLA rifle with a blinding laser

The Chinese military department had at its disposal rifles with a blinding laser, regardless of what weapon violates a UN convention, reports Look with reference to the Washington Free Beacon.

"China is updating its blinding laser weapons to meet the needs of various combat operations," the Chinese military newspaper quoted Free Beacon as saying. “Blinding laser weapons are primarily used for blinding targets at a short distance, as well as for damaging night vision devices.”

The State Department has already expressed concern about this, stating that such “weapons violate the provisions of the United Nations Convention 1980 of the Year on Specific Conventional Weapons”.

“The convention includes a protocol added in the 1998 year, which prohibits the use of blinding laser weapons in combat, the publication said. China has joined the convention, ”reminds Free Beacon.

The publication reminds that in the US, combat lasers are used in the Air Force and Navy, but the Pentagon has no plans for the production of laser rifles, similar to the Chinese.

According to Chinese weapons expert Rick Fisher, "the Chinese army has at least two types of laser guns and may be trying to sell them abroad."

“While they are positioned as help for the police, but they can also be used on the battlefield,” said Fisher.

Once again, the State Department expressed concern. But the Americans were scared!

As I understand it, this is a police weapon, not for military operations, the United States again inflates from an elephant’s fly.

[34 region]

As I understand it, this is the safest weapon. Well, amers have it. Either orange, then phosphorus, then napalm, and even cores were used. Well, right angels!

Nothing like this. This instrument is able to disable night vision devices, and for merisos on these devices both people and equipment are fixated. That's right. Watch out when scared.

If the UN has a law that limits this blinding, then it must be implemented or repealed. But no one has the right to violate.

Neither Americans nor Chinese, nor Russians.

Law is law.

If the UN has a law that limits this blinding

However, the UN has restrictions on carpet bombing, on the use of phosphorus munitions, and all kinds of mines. However, not all of them will fulfill it, referring to the fact that they did not sign these papers. There is a law prohibiting the proliferation of nuclear weapons. So do American bombs in Europe. In the Netherlands, in Germany? Or in your eye the logs are not visible? Or is law not law?

The problem is that the Americans put a bolt on this law and demand its implementation only by others.
The Americans have ready samples of powerful laser weapons that can blind people in the same way, and for ten years now they have the same rifles for the police, the police are not the army, they can. In general, the Americans scored, the Chinese scored, only Dyadyavova will comply with "international laws" to the last, but what should he do anyway?

[Byshido_dis]

And selectively boils))

[Byshido_dis]

By the way, not so long ago, the Americans adopted "explosive bullets" which are also prohibited by the convention ... Only, apparently, the conventions are not for Americans ...

[Igor F.]

Yeah, the Americans are always "worried" about something .. Either about the bases of the Russian Aerospace Forces, or about the interference of 200 thousand Russian servicemen in the internal affairs of the Independent .. And they themselves poked their military bases around the world, and even "advertised" forcibly. democracy "American-style!

[34 region]

Well, convention for the vanquished. And the Americans are the winners. So they decide. To whom, to whom, to whom, to whom the gun is over his shoulder.

Everything that is not beneficial to amers, they never sign. And there are many such conventions. In their footsteps is the well-known Middle Eastern country.

[Ros 56]

Do you think their eyes are different? Following your logic, something should be across.

[Misha Honest]

such “weapons violate the provisions of the 1980 United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons”.

“The convention includes a protocol added in the 1998 year, which prohibits the use of blinding laser weapons in combat, the publication said. China has joined the convention, ”reminds Free Beacon.

That is, you can kill, but dazzle no-no? Another stupid Yankees.

[Denis Obukhov]

If it is still in the IR range, then the enemy will just see a black screen. And he will always see him. The retina of the eye is not restored, but burned at the expense of times. The IR range is invisible to the human eye and penetrates well through the liquid medium of the vitreous body of the eye. So, a battery-powered laser is enough to slash the enemy’s eyes and make him disabled. And as for the conventions, let the Africans shut up - did they abide by the conventions by bombing Yugoslavia? Did the UN stop them strongly? They do not care. In war, like war. It is important who has a stronger weapon.

[Byshido_dis]

What conventions? They invented them after they burned Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear bombs ... so that others would not use ...

[34 region]

And why should the UN stop them? If they pay a lot of money for the maintenance of this UN. Who pays it and has it! Or do you think that she should take the money and have it (amers)?

Incidentally correctly worried.

As long as states exist, there must be a law. And if you break this law, you need to poke intruders in the face with something unpleasant.

[Basarev]

A laser rifle in combined arms combat is ineffective, if only because everywhere there is smoke that extremely weakens the beam. But with the maser, you can make a rustle.

[Vadim237]

It depends on how powerful the laser is on this rifle.

[Mik13]

Quote: Basarev

Therefore, smart people do not use laser rifles.
There are laser rangefinders for this. It also acts on the eyes and optics, but also measures distance. and most importantly, everything is absolutely legal.
Here is such a product. LPR-1 called. Slightly heavier than binoculars. And more convenient.

[dvina71]

Etozh LTSU .. All Americans messed up))

[HAM]

The use of nuclear weapons against Japan also violated some conventions, and what! ??

[Castor]

Winners are not judged.

[kil 31]

The State Department has already expressed concern about this, indicating that such a “weapon violates the provisions of the 1980 United Nations Convention on specific types of conventional weapons”

Well, where are we without the State Department. For example, I am concerned that the United States used phosphorus bombs in Iraq.

[kursk87]

The United States has repeatedly violated UN convection, but they buried all the authority of the UN in matters of security.

So it’s time to drive them out of the UN, as not observing the convention.

[34 region]

Yeah! Drive them out of the UN. Leave the Benelux countries and the Baltic states! Here they are monsters of international level! Russia is shocked by fear !!!

[34 region]

What authority does the bath house have? Many countries are stupidly dependent on Uncle Sam. And you think that on this collective farm everyone will be against the chairman? No, of course, someone will be against it. But basically? In terms of quantity. Stupid hatred. Those who are against, those enemies of civilization! Who is against civilization?

[dchegrinec]

They will develop this weapon and will keep it in reserve, applying quietly.

[Monos]

Funny name: "LASER RIFLE".

[Igor39]

Did you have a Shao-lin Sword?

[34 region]

Maybe a laser rifle and a funny name. And what about the population of China? How does that sound?

[Mountain shooter]

Hate weapon. Blinds once and for all. The only salvation is glasses with filters for this wavelength. And do not look with your naked eyes towards the enemy. By the way, you should not really count on dust and smoke. the power there is very excessive.

[Oleg Lavrov]

the Americans cried !! Praised NVDs and thermal imagers will be destroyed!

[Vadim237]

Now, if it was a beam rifle or railgun, there would be a breakthrough, and you won’t be surprised anymore.

[Samen]

I’ll go buy sunglasses. Just in case...

[screw cutter]

Me too, and with a mirror coating. And separately I have to carry a mirror with me.

Against the city is unlikely to help! At Damansky and Zhalanashkole even the quotes from Mao did not help! EVERYTHING is fried!

If they do not create an emitter that will cause the initiation of explosives.

[YURIY888]

Funny, in your opinion they slowed down
...

[ivanych]

... a good thing - to light a cigarette, make a bonfire or put a cup of tea there and shine in the eyes of the enemy, so that the horse doesn’t interfere.

[Siberia 9444]

The main thing they all put on the UN except us

[34 region]

Why did they give out international secrets? You now have to award five years of execution! Do not blame me.

[Santa bear]

something it reminds me a lot :)

Well done Chinese - even at Terminator a gun was slammed.

[Berthan]

"... Tomorrow - starts now ...")

[Sergey Vladimirovich]

Apparently, the basic principle that a real Chinese must do three things - sneakers, jeans and a tape recorder - is no longer relevant ... It's time to add a laser rifle! Soon the helmsman will give orders and they will begin to assemble "this miracle" on their knees with minimal effort and expense ... And then go and track the implementation of all these "conventions", etc. ... Terrible people ... Developing at a crazy pace ...

[Gormenghast]

The Convention prohibits only irreparable damage, not temporary.

it is forbidden to use laser weapons specifically designed for use in hostilities solely or in order to cause permanent blindness to the organs of vision of a person who does not use optical devices.

In general, this is the real thing, unlike Amer’s attempts to shoot down missiles at ranges of hundreds of kilometers.

[theadenter]

We have blinding lasers in Russia even in children. And bought from China for a penny (800-2000 rubles). I saw power up to 10 watts. In this way, not only the retina, but even the paper can be burned in a split second.

[corporal]

If Zhukov had such devices in 1945, he would not bother with spotlights on the Zeelovsky heights.

[Concealer]

It really seems like everyone does not care about the convention. Something it reminds me of ,,, it already was.

[Svetovod]

I thought for these purposes I need a powerful laser pointer and a long-range optical sight / telescope, with their rigid joint.

Another step in a shield / sword relationship. The danger of such (not manual) weapons is that they can be automated. Blind all visible optics, including the optics of targeting missiles.

Protection of shooters' eyes can be carried out by means of an intermediary between the optics and the eye - either a camera, with the display of the image on the monitor (chik), or an automatic "curtain" (mechanical or Liquid Crystal), which cuts off when the brightness is higher than the norm.

[Berthan]

I don’t know how about arming the PLA with this toy, but in connection with the release of the next Star Wars and the upcoming New Year - sales may be ...

In general: soon - in all online stores)

[bear]

Well done Chinese !! Again, the Americans were brought to tears.

[BARKHAN]

I would be very glad for the Chinese in your place ...
It may happen that they will use these rifles for us ...
Anything in history can happen.
Yesterday, the Turks were cherished, today we hate. Tomorrow a reversal of 180 g may happen with the Chinese.
I do not believe anybody.

[Megatron]

The Chinese still have tanks with similar things. Honestly, nothing good.
