Detailed footage of the operation of a highly mobile combat laser complex of a mobile air defense group from the Special Operations Forces "Nomad" was recently published online. The development of technologies has allowed laser systems to become an effective air defense tool.
At the same time, combat lasers are not able to replace traditional air defense systems. Limited range (5-10 km), the inability to engage heavy targets, and dependence on weather conditions do not allow them to be used as a universal air defense asset.
Nevertheless, lasers have a number of advantages — almost zero cost per shot, instant target engagement, high accuracy, and effectiveness against cheap drones.
These features make them very valuable in the context of massive drone attacks, when the expenditure of missiles becomes impractical.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that 1.1 billion rubles were demanded from the manufacturer of military boats for the Pacific Fleet.
