China Tests Anti-Satellite Laser Weapon

[moose1am]

The title of this thread is misleading. China used KENETIC ENERGY ballistic missile to destroy one of their aging satellites. NO LASER was used to destroy the satellite.

Now in the second link they spoke about the Chinese using a laser to track a US Satellite.

That's how I read the articles in the two links presented by the author of this thread.
