British Military Attacks Drones With Huge Laser

Zap! Pow! Take that, you pesky flying pests—the British military just turned drone defense into a Star Wars sequel nobody saw coming! Testing the DragonFire laser in Scotland, they’ve nailed high-speed drones zooming at twice a Formula 1 car’s pace, all with “razor sharp” accuracy that could snipe a £1 coin from a kilometer away. Forget pricey missiles; this bad boy costs just $13 a shot, making it a budget hero against cheapo threats like those Houthi rebels bedeviling the US Navy in the Red Sea (where they’ve blown nearly a billion bucks on overkill). Developed by MDBA, it’s set for Royal Navy ships thanks to a hefty $413 million contract, evolving from clunky old lasers into battlefield-ready beams. With Ukraine’s drone wars rewriting the rules, this tech could be the ultimate buzzkill for kamikaze swarms—because nothing says “game over” like getting fried mid-air!
