Ukraine is actively developing and testing laser weapons, particularly to target Russian UAVs and drones. Colonel Vadym Sukharevskyi confirmed that laser technologies are capable of hitting specific targets at certain altitudes. Although it's the first instance of Ukraine asserting laser tests, comprehensive details are lacking, and analysts note various challenges in deploying such technologies at a large scale. The move aligns with global military trends, as countries like the UK, China, the US, and Israel also advance their own laser weapon systems.
"Laser technologies are already hitting certain objects at a certain altitude," Sukharevskyi stated, highlighting Ukraine's advancements in utilizing lasers to counter aerial threats.
James Black emphasized the feasibility of Ukraine deploying high-energy laser systems, yet pointed out ongoing technical, logistical, and operational challenges in scaling their use.
