When you use even a weak laser for a relatively much shorter period against a very sensitive IR seeker; You damage it. Therefore blind the missile. RF seeker ones require stronger lasers against their control surfaces.
ASELSAN, a defense industry company, will be showcasing its comprehensive range of capabilities in communications, air defense, avionics, electro-optics, electronic warfare, radar, and unmanned systems at the 16th International Defense Industry Fair IDEF 2023 in Istanbul from July 25 to 28.

Destructive laser DIRCM is already being done by Lockheed Martin in a relatively small pod and I already told you this. Making things smaller is how technology advances. People here either don't speak English or they can't understand what they read. How did that even get 3 likes?
"Not possible."
Classic Turkish knee jerk reaction to new things. This mentality has been the bane of Ottoman Empire and it still exists sadly. It is like talking to a wall. Nothing is possible if you ask these lazy, unimaginative, non-innovative people. Selcuk Bayraktar calls them TAKOZ!
First of all, pipe the attitude and name calling down lad. You said LM delivered those for F-16s when they haven't, they just talked about making it for their 6th gen plane. Where the fuck is your source on that delivery, eh?
Secondly, I didn't say it was "impossible", before talking about the proficiency of people in English improve your own reading comprehension. You said it existed today, I told you it doesn't in the form you talked about. Show me one current example of a laser strong enough to DESTROY a missile as you said that fits in a pod. Yıldırım works by blinding/jamming the infrared seekers, it does not destroy missiles as you claimed. You seem to have a problem with your definitions lad, or moving the goalposts after being proven wrong. They don't even categorize it as a weapon, it is a countermeasure system. Don't believe me, here is a direct quote from Aselsan:
"The system has been specifically designed to protect rotary wing aircrafts from IR missile attacks. Main mission of the system is to automatically counter infrared missile systems by
detecting, tracking and jamming the threat by means of high-power laser beam under harsh environmental conditions."
There is no "kneejerk" reaction, what you said simply doesn't exist yet, outside of big units and I pointed that out. If you can't accept that and have to start attacking people, that is your problem.
