South Korea unveils new laser weapon system in military exercise
Published
The South Korean army recently demonstrated its advanced laser weapon system, named Cheongwang. The demonstration was part of a large and significant military exercise.
Laser weapons differ from conventional weapons because they use a focused beam of light instead of a bullet or a missile. Systems like this are being tested in many countries around the world, and they are designed mainly for defense against aerial threats, such as rockets and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Israel is also developing in this field. The well-known laser system is "Iron Beam" (מגן אור), which is designed to intercept rockets and small projectiles. Therefore, the development of laser systems in other countries is considered a topic that also interests readers in Israel.
The announcement did not include full details about the system's range or the date it will enter service in the army. The available information is still limited, so it is worth following further updates on the subject.
