A combat laser system capable of hitting drones was tested in Crimea. This was announced by the head of the all-Russian project "Archangel" for training drone piloting, Mikhail Filippov.
During the tests, the laser successfully engaged targets at a distance of up to 35 m. "The beam cuts through a 15 cm thick tree in 5-6 seconds, then burns through another 2-3 obstacles.
It takes about 1 minute for silicate brick, and about 10 seconds of direct exposure for 10 cm thick metal.
Filippov added that the developers are testing various homing systems that will allow the system to be used to protect infrastructure facilities. The compact laser fits in the trunk of an ATV.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that Russia will sell India engines for T-72 tanks for $248 million.
