It is not an observation devise.
A laser dazzler on a battle tank is designed to temporarily blind or disorient enemy personnel or optical systems using intense laser light.
An example is the JD-3 laser dazzler mounted on ZTZ-99 tanks. It works in tandem with a laser warning receiver: when the tank detects it's being targeted by an enemy laser (like from a rangefinder or missile guidance system), the dazzler automatically aims back and fires a laser burst to disrupt or blind the enemy’s optics.
Maybe something more powerful than a dazzler like a DEW that can shoot down drones?
That would probably have a larger size, a very short aperture wouldn't be sufficient for KW-level outputs required for hard damage. Regardless, dazzling drones is still a good last defense.
VN22... autonomous?
I wonder if it's possible for these vehicles to be attached with tank turrets, like lighter, more shortened ones.
You mean low pressure guns like those on zbd04a? It can be done but you have to weigh in the costs.
