New drone-destroying laser weapon with 1-mile-range tested for Turkey’s ‘Steel Dome’​


laser is going to be the only way the assymmetry of cost between drone and anti air defence is every going to be made manageable, but I think we're in for a generation of drone swarm being the king until laser systems get energy efficient enough to be able to acquire and fire on hundreds of targets within a few minutes from a mobile platform. Right now you need a big and expensive system ship or truck based system to defeat a very cheap drone.

Shipping/trucking e$$pensive as hell. For now.
