Foreign media announced that China has entered the photon era, how excited they are than the Chinese themselves
According to "Defense and Security Asia", China publicly unveiled the LY-1 high-power laser weapon at the military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance. This directed energy system can destroy drones, missiles, and precision-guided munitions at the speed of light, and is directly called the beginning of the photon era.
It can be seen that compared with China's low-key statements, foreign media appear extremely excited.
This reaction reveals a complex mentality. On one hand, they have to admit in technical terms that China's laser weapons have left the laboratory and entered the practical stage, making the experimental status of the US and Europe for many years seem outdated.
On the other hand, they deliberately exaggerate the Chinese threat.
This kind of voice is in a way an indirect recognition of China's progress, after all, without sufficient strength, foreign media would not have loudly announced the arrival of the photon era.
From a positive perspective, this indicates that China's strategic deterrence has been conveyed through the appearance of weapons, and the external shock has become the best promotion.
Foreign media being more excited than the Chinese themselves is itself a psychological submission.
The more tense and sensational the rhetoric, the more real the threat of this weapon must be in their eyes.
In other words, the emergence of LY-1 puts China in a more favorable position in future regional games and international negotiations.
Therefore, when foreign media announce that China has entered the photon era, it is actually an indirect admission of China's leading position in future war forms.
They are more excited than the Chinese themselves, which precisely illustrates a fact: China's military modernization is no longer about catching up with anyone, but has completed the breakthrough in key areas. What America is still on PPT, China has already made and used it.
