Modern laser weapons technology has gone from the target field to the battlefield, many countries have demonstrated their own laser weapons systems, in the Russian Federation's "West"-2025 military exercise, the Belarusian army's armored laser weapons system lighted the sword for the first time, this discovery has made the Ukrainian media "Defense Express" the heart of a mixture. At present, neither Ukraine nor the West has a laser weapons system that can actually be used in real warfare, now not only Russia, but even Belarus has used it!

According to a report by Ukrainian media on September 16, 2025, the laser weapons system displayed by Belarus during the exercise was code-named "Saffron", and behind it is the technology developed by China.

Anti-drone has become a problem in modern warfare, not long ago, Russian drones "invaded" Poland, NATO's air defense system intercepted only a small number of drones, according to Poland, a total of 23 drones "invaded", but the NATO intercepted drones may only be 3 to 4 drones.

After the ¡°invasion¡± of Poland, Belarus received a message that the ¡°Tibet Red Flower¡± laser weapons system was demonstrated and publicly demonstrated, in the Borysovsky training site in the north of Minsk, public exercises were conducted, demonstrating how to shoot down a drone.

According to the Ukrainian media, the "Tibet Red Flower" laser weapons system was unveiled only in the spring of 2025 and the entire development cycle took less than a year, this speed is too fast. Now it can suddenly debut, it is entirely borrowed from Chinese technology, otherwise it can not be done so quickly. The Ukrainian media even suspect that it has developed a model for China to develop the "Silent Hunter" laser weapons system, and Russia has also developed a laser weapons system with the code name "Pastor" based on it.

The application of modern drones has led to the progress of anti-drone technology. Laser weapon technology is regarded as one of the ideal anti-drone technologies. However, in terms of related research and development, China is in a leading position in the world. It has not only built it, but also successfully exported it. The previous introduction of Chinese laser weapon system by Saudi Arabia has been further confirmed. If the reports of the Ukrainian media are true, this is also good news. It can only prove once again that China is on the right path! Not only is it leading in the field of laser weapon technology, but Chinese-made laser cannons have been successfully exported.

Belarus's "Saffron" laser weapon system uses a mobile chassis, and its search radar and laser can destroy small drones within 1 kilometer. Ukrainian media found that the entire set of equipment is quite similar to Chinese products. Even the operating interface is very close, but it seems that the software version is different. Therefore, it is presumed that Belarus's "Saffron" laser weapon system originated from Chinese technology.

This kind of claim itself exposes the Ukrainian complex mindset, China has long begun to publicly demonstrate and sell laser weapons systems in the international market, only in the early days in the name of security equipment, not military, as long as Belarus spends money on the introduction, let alone finished products, technology transfer is also a commercial issue.

Now is the Ukrainian media suffering, after all, Ukraine itself is facing no small anti-drone trouble, Russia every night to strike the back of Ukraine is hundreds of different types of drones, at the moment can not find an effective response, laser weapons technology is seen as a solution, but Ukraine itself can not do, the West is not.

The air advantages in modern warfare have changed a lot, traditionally, are manned aircraft launching attacks, existing air defense systems can completely effectively cope with; however, with the emergence of drones, the battle has completely changed, especially in the front zone, various small drones became the biggest enemy.

Anti-drone has become a new problem on the battlefield, and at this time, the value of laser weapon systems has emerged. China began to develop laser weapon systems very early, but it was limited by technology and has been facing considerable difficulties. However, China never gave up and quickly realized the limitations of laser weapon technology. In the early days, the power of lasers was insufficient and did not pose a threat to manned fighters, so they changed their thinking and targeted anti-drones. From the initial military to civilian security products, they immediately opened their thinking.

The rise of civilian drones has become a trouble in security work, and laser weapon technology has become a good solution. At the 2012 Zhuhai Air Show, the laser weapon system code-named "Low Altitude Guardian" was publicly unveiled. Now its technology has gone through several generations of development and has become more and more mature. It is no longer just a civilian product, but will eventually be transformed from civilian to military.

At the parade on September 3, 2025, three domestic laser weapons systems openly debuted, and there was no small improvement compared to foreign trade products, but there was no public presentation of performance, but it was absolutely surprising.

China's laser weapon technology has reached the forefront of the world and remained ahead, which is the result of decades of persistence.
