China has ‘giant laser weapon that can cripple American satellites and blind the US fleet’ in the event of World War 3
A Chinese military spokesman said dependence on satellites could prove to be America's Achilles heel
CHINA has reportedly developed giant laser weapons that could cripple American satellites and blind the US fleet in the event of World War Three.
Multiple Pentagon and intelligence reports warn about the potential of these weapons, and according to some sources, they are already here.
Satellites provide communications, navigation, and intelligence to the American war machine, so knocking them out would seriously disrupt - and even render useless - much of its equipment.
Amazon’s Prime’s “China vs USA: Empires at War” series says an existing weapons system could knock out American warships navigation systems and communications, leaving them practically useless.
The series revealed: “The Chinese army has developed a system to blind the Americans.
“This is not science fiction, but a technology already in use.”
However, the main threat that the report focused on was China’s ground-launched anti-satellite missiles.
China has been working on laser weapons since the 1960s, according .
Wan Xiangsui said: “The US relies on satellites to control their entire communications network and that is a weakness.
A military spokeswoman told the American news outlet that lasers had been flashed at US aircraft, and that the sources of these flashes were suspected to be Chinese.
The incidents were not damaging, however suggested that the Asian superpower was using the devices in their military arsenal.
The Chinese denied the allegations.
