The guys who make the best tank guns in the world have a new toy. A 50kW laser system that was able to shoot down two drones in tests. This could be the answer to how to protect big targets like ships from swarms of missiles. They think they can get the cost per shot down to a few dollars as opposed to $800,000 for a cheap interceptor missile. I know there are a lot of similar weapons in development but it would be nice to have a good defensive weapon.
