UK to Deploy DragonFire Laser by 2027: Laser Weapon Era Underway? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Britain's Defence Secretary, Grant Shapps, says the country will deploy its indigenous DragonFire laser weapon by the year 2027. The UK says the DragonFire is a "World-leading" laser weapon. A number of countries are developing or testing new laser anti-drone systems. Israel has the Iron Beam. The US has the DE M-SHORAD and HELIOS. India is developing the Durga-2. Laser weapons are poised to change the face of drone warfare. Lasers are more cost-effective when dealing with cheap, kamikaze drones, like the Iranian Shahed 136. Laser anti-drone systems may turn the tide, and bring an end to the era of drone warfare.
