The UK has successfully fired a high-power laser weapon against an aerial target for the first time in a trial.
It is hoped that the test will pave the way for a low-cost alternative to missiles to shoot down targets like drones.
The DragonFire weapon is precise enough to hit a £1 coin from a kilometre away, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) says.
Cheaper than missiles! Look how cheap it is to kill people now. Unfortunately we need to kill more innocents now to keep the manufacturers in profit.
Why is this comment downvoted? Raytheon exists on Lemmy or something?
I forgot that you have to use /s in every sentence one the internet. /s
How are we gonna make a laser arc? And if it was from an aerial POV it would actually cause less collateral damage than something that explodes.
