What are the advantages and disadvantages of laser guidance? What kind of combat mission is it suitable for?
The advantages and disadvantages of laser guidance are as follows:

Advantages:

1. High accuracy: Laser guidance has high accuracy, and the error is generally within a few meters, so it can accurately hit the target.

2. Anti-interference: Due to the transmission characteristics of laser, laser guidance has certain anti-interference ability. The laser beam is narrow and directional, and it is not easy to be disturbed by electromagnetic interference.

3. Suitable for complex environment: laser guidance is not affected by ground clutter, so it is more effective than radar guidance when attacking targets in complex background environment.

4. Anti-stealth ability: Traditional radar stealth measures are ineffective for laser-guided weapons, so laser guidance has certain advantages in attacking stealth targets.

5. Low cost: The manufacturing cost of laser-guided weapons is relatively low, which is suitable for large-scale equipment and use.

Disadvantages:

1. Limited action distance: The action distance of laser is usually close, and it may not be able to effectively lock and strike long-distance targets.

2. Large atmospheric transmission loss: When laser is transmitted in the atmosphere, it is easily affected by meteorological conditions, such as clouds, fog, rain, smoke and dust, which will strongly scatter and absorb the laser, thus affecting the performance of laser-guided weapons.

3. Detectability and interference: The laser transmitter of laser-guided weapons may be detected by the enemy, and the laser it emits may also be interfered or intercepted by the enemy.

Laser guidance is suitable for a variety of combat tasks, such as attacking ground and sea targets and intercepting airspace targets. Especially for targets that need to be attacked in complex background environment, laser guidance has high precision and strong anti-interference ability, so it performs well. However, for long-distance targets or combat missions under bad weather conditions, laser guidance may not fully play its role.
