The Army has officially deployed a pair of high-energy lasers overseas to blast incoming enemy drones out of the sky, the service recently confirmed, marking a major milestone for the U.S. military’s ongoing development of futuristic directed-energy weapons.
The 20-kilowatt Palletized High Energy Laser, or P-HEL, “is currently deployed to support the Army’s mission” in an undisclosed location abroad, a spokesman for the service’s Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office, which manages its directed-energy portfolio, told Military.com.
I think the bigger concern is enemy UAVs wearing shades.
We can put shades on the tank to bounce it right back
Classic,but inappropriate. Tanks should not wear aviators, but big chunky goggle style Warby Parkers on sale $1.89

Yay for undisclosed location! Slava Ukraini!
It could potentially be in the red sea.
I would be fine with that. I’m just a laser loiterer who thinks pirates need to be wiped off the face of the earth in a sizzling manner.
Big ass solar panels on the drone to capture the energy and charge the drones battery
What if they do this
I HATE THIS SO MUCH

This is why I never open someone else’s makeup bag.
