minus-squareShadowRam@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-27 个月前Yeah, have you seen the size of those? Those are chem lasers in order to get the wattage needed to destroy something. Plus you need the electronics/mechanics to track the device perfectly to keep the laser on target in order for it to do damage. All completely unnecessary to drop a small drone out of the sky.
minus-squareskillissuer@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 个月前there are also fiber lasers with enough power for small, slow targets like drone and size small enough to fit in a modern western fighter jet pod. targeting is done via radar roughly and then the same optics , or similar optics that laser uses later
