The first video of the combat Russian laser air defense system "Nomad" was published in late June. The video shows a camouflaged complex equipped with a radar and capable of all-round visibility of 360 degrees.

As for laser systems for countering drones, we have developments, we have samples, products that are already being supplied, in small volumes so far. Samples were recently demonstrated, including to me, at the test site, and received a ticket to life and promising orders. I am sure that in the near future, as production volumes increase, these solutions will be actively used.
