"DragonFire Laser: UK MoD's Game-Changing Weapon Against Drones"
The UK Ministry of Defence has successfully tested the DragonFire laser weapon, which can hit targets with precision and is being considered as a low-cost alternative to missiles for shooting down aerial threats like drones. The laser system, developed through a £100m joint investment, is seen as a potential game-changer in air defense capabilities for the Army and Royal Navy, offering reduced reliance on expensive ammunition and lower risk of collateral damage. The technology, already in use by the US Navy, could provide a cost-effective solution in countering the increasing use of drones in modern warfare.
