The laser weapon uses concentrated beams of light to target and destroy drones. The beams are powerful enough to melt the materials on the surface of the drone, causing it to malfunction or crash.
Yes, the laser weapon can potentially be used against other targets such as missiles, aircraft, and ground vehicles. However, the effectiveness may vary depending on the size and composition of the target.
The range of the laser weapon depends on various factors such as atmospheric conditions and power of the laser. In ideal conditions, the range can reach up to several kilometers.
There is always a risk of collateral damage with any weapon, including the laser weapon. However, the precision and accuracy of the laser beam can reduce the chances of collateral damage compared to traditional weapons.
It is difficult to compare the capabilities of different countries' laser weapons as the technology is still in its early stages and not widely used in combat situations. However, Russia's claims of successfully destroying drones with their laser weapon demonstrate its potential effectiveness.
