Ukraine shows off laser drone that can 'irradiate' target from more than 3 miles away Ukraine has shown off a laser-enabled drone that can 'irradiate' a target from over three miles away.
Last month, Ukraine’s drone forces commander Vadym Sukharevskyi said he now had the capacity to shoot down aircraft at an altitude of over 6,500ft with a new laser weapon.
A clip shows the drone operator using the laser to pinpoint a house full of Russian troops (circled in red) before a weapon is fired, causing a small explosion.
The hi-tech new weapon, revealed in a new video, is able to pick out the enemy from an altitude of 7,900ft - and could help Volodymyr Zelenskyy's forces fight off Putin's invasion.
The laser target designator provided precise guidance, thanks to which the target was destroyed, and the defeat was confirmed.”.
