Chinese laser-directed energy weapon systems that can disable or destroy drones have reportedly been spotted in Iran. They were allegedly spotted on October 4, Friday, three days after Iran launched a barrage of deadly missiles on Israel.

On October 4, Friday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gave a rare public sermon in which he said that Israel would not prevail over Hamas or Hezbollah.

During the sermon, Khamenei justified the missile attacks on Israel as a “public service” as he addressed tens of thousands of devotees who had gathered at Imam Khomeini’s Grand Mosalla mosque in Tehran as he backed the Palestinian and Lebanese movements against Israel.

The spot where the religious leader stood and led prayers was protected by many layers of defensive devices for security, including a possible Chinese laser counter-drone system, which was spotted by military observers after photos and videos of the event went viral.

Many experts believe that the counter-drone system was the Silent Hunter anti-drone system unveiled by China at the Zhuhai Air Show in 2022.

The Silent Hunter is an anti-drone laser weapon developed in China. It is an improved version of the 30-kilowatt Low-Altitude Laser Defending System (LASS) and is available in both fixed and mobile versions.


The Silent Hunter uses an electrically powered fiber optic laser and according to one Poly official, has a maximum power that is between 30 and 100 kilowatts and a maximum range of four kilometers. Although it is primarily designed to search, track, and destroy low-flying drones, it is powerful enough to penetrate five 2-millimeter steel plates at a range of 800 meters or a single 5-millimeter steel plate at 1000 meters. The sheer bulk of the Silent Hunter prevents its use on an aerial platform.

Laser weapon, na for drone attacks.

Israel should just be careful not to overstep their boundaries

U speak. First as a religious man before as a human being... Not in shock!

The Silent Hunter is a game changer for Iran.

It's only Israel that has developed a laser defence system. It will be deployed next year.

Russian Defense Systems can't stop the Israeli Airforce and you think it's an untested Chinese toy that will do the magic?

Iran is a great ally to have.

Russian batteries couldn't save them from Israael, naa China go saave them baa?

Waste of time.
