“We burned through steel sheets and foreign drone wings,” the company’s CEO said, noting a 15× increase in speed compared to earlier tests.
From 50 m, the laser destroyed a drone wing in 0.1 seconds and cut through 10 mm steel armor just as fast. Power was boosted, the beam made more concentrated, and the burn spot smaller.
Next step — field tests at longer ranges, with the goal of frying Ukrainian FPV drones from 1.5 km away.
