*Adding a note the 1.6 seconds dwell is how long it takes to cook the air to air missile. But within .2 seconds it is already blinded.
So my analysis is biased
For the ship scenario the ship needs to completely cook the missile, the missile is protected by ceramics and seeing with AESA
For the J-36 scenario the missile has a glass dome and is using a heat seeker. .2 seconds of direct laser is enough to blind it and destroy detector elements.
