Russia has been rumored to be developing a new type of weapon, known as a laser weapon, which is said to take down drones and other targets. Some experts believe that the weapon may respond to NATO’s increase in military activity in Eastern Europe. Laser weapons have been in development for many years, but it wasn’t until recently that they began to be taken seriously as potential weapons for use on the battlefield. Russia has claimed that they will use shells and laser weapons on the battlefield in Ukraine, although it is not clear whether this was intentional or just happenstance. The US says they have seen no evidence to support Russia’s claims, while Kyiv derides them as propaganda. The Russian government has admitted that their state of -the art laser weapon called “Zadira” is being used against Ukrainian drones.

How Effective Could Laser Weapons Be on the Battlefield?

Laser weapons work by firing a concentrated beam of light at a target. The light is so intense that it can cause damage to the target, either by burning it or by causing an explosion. The advantage of using a laser weapon is that it is very accurate.
