Based on tests, the usable lifespan of this megawatt-class high-energy laser emitter is only 10 times!
A weapon costing 2.5 billion Gold Yuan can be used only 10 times.
Even in wartime, that's too expensive.
However, after in-depth research, the Air Force finally understood a key issue. After 10 firings, the components that actually need replacement are few, such as the reflector. Other parts of the laser can still function, and many can meet the Air Force's requirement of being used a hundred times repeatedly.
Although still incredibly expensive, it's within an acceptable range.
The anti-satellite missiles carried and used by the "War-11" have a bulk purchase price as high as 10 million Gold Yuan each and can only target satellites in low orbit. The combat area is also limited, and tactical flexibility is not outstanding, making the Air Force very dissatisfied with their combat efficiency in actual battle.
