Only issue is, the optics are mounted on thin bent aluminium held in place with hot glue.

Would be interesting to know the exact wavelength of the laser... and choose the right paint for your little drone!

This is a silly report. The reporter, who probably has a limited understanding of the technologies involved, should have interviewed some western developers of similar systems and determined if this is significant. It sounds like a press release. The US army has had a 30kW fiber laser mounted on a Humvee for months and may have already upgraded this to 60kW. This system was designed for the same purpose as the CN system. I'll be impressed when CN SHOWS they have a laser that will take out the Humvee.
China is full of golden flying dragons, it will blend in.
A nice sized FS mirror under the Multi Rotor comes to mind.

Who will be the first to mount a LPM to the underside of a drone and get a reading on that puppy!
