Hard kill range between 0.5 KM - 1KM and blinding range of 10KM for a 6KW laser.
LW-60 laser weapon.
Seems like huge vehicle that doesn't look very mobile to only fit 60kw of laser power?
For example, the DE-M-SHORAD Strykers are in the 50kw range and offer far more maneuverability. Outside of that, you have the US Indirect Fire Protection Capability-High Energy Laser (IFPC-HEL) from Lockheed which are 300kw class, while mated to a large vehicle, provides greatly more laser power.

These are offered for export, I assume with requisite restrictions on output. As for their American counterparts, let me know when they are in formal service or are being made available for export.

Surprise, yet another laser weapon called FireArrow-21.
More information on that new laser weapon, whose name I mistranslated. The name should be "Laser Arrow-21".
