Yet another model of a laser weapon on display, this time at the Singapore Airshow. I don't recall seeing this particular system before.

Looks like a modification of this system.

Yankeesama claims that lasers won’t replace point defense guns in the PLA since their respective strengths perfectly complement the other’s weaknesses. Even though lasers are cheap and does not require ballistic corrections, it is weather dependent and have a “spool up” charging time during which guns could provide cover fire.
