In a battlefield first, Russia has reportedly deployed a Chinese-made laser weapon system to neutralize Ukrainian drones. The high-energy directed-energy weapon is designed to disable or destroy UAVs mid-flight by overheating their electronics and optics without firing a single bullet. Sources suggest the system resembles China’s Silent Hunter, a ground-based anti-drone laser platform with a range of up to 4 km. It marks a dramatic shift in warfare, where silent, invisible beams can down swarms of drones in seconds. As Ukraine intensifies its use of drones for surveillance and strikes, this new tech adds a chilling layer to modern conflict — one where lasers, not missiles, are doing the shooting. #LaserWeapons #DroneDefense #UkraineWar #DirectedEnergyWeapons #ChinaTech #ModernWarfare #RussiaUkraine
