The American company Lockheed Martin is working on a laser
weapon that will repel attacks from the air,
Azernews reports.
According to him, in the future, the company will develop a
weapon that will allow projecting a laser beam over a distance of
more than 100 kilometers to repel attacks from the air. Noting that
the demand for laser weapons is growing, Michael Williamson
stressed that expensive air defense systems are not effective for
destroying drones.
It should be noted that on July 22, the British Ministry of
Defense conducted the first tests of a laser weapon developed on
the basis of the Wolfhound armored combat vehicle. During the tests
conducted at the Porton Down training ground, the laser weapon was
able to neutralize targets at a distance of up to one kilometer. It
is planned that these weapons will be used primarily against
drones.
