Laser designator

Okay kiddo, a laser designator is like a big pointer with a laser that can help someone aim a weapon or target for an airplane.

Think of it like when you use a laser pointer to play with your cat. You point the laser dot on the ground, and your cat chases after it.

In the same way, when soldiers or pilots need to aim at a target, they use a laser designator to point the laser dot on or near the target. This helps guide their weapons or bombs to hit the target accurately.

It's a very important tool for people in the military to use, so they can hit their target and protect their country.
