Ukraine said it has developed a laser weapon capable of shooting down targets from more than a mile away.
Ukraine’s Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems, Vadym Sukharevskyi, made this known while speaking at a defense summit in Kyiv this week.
Sukharevskyi said: “Today, we can already shoot down aircraft with this laser at an altitude of over 2 kilometers (1.2 miles).
“It truly works, it truly exists.”
CNN reports, citing the Interfax-Ukraine news agency, that efforts were being made to enhance the weapon’s scale and capabilities.
The laser is named the Tryzub, or Ukrainian for “trident,” a nod to Ukraine’s national symbol representing independence, strength, and unity.
CNN further wrote that Sukharevskyi did not offer any further details about the Tryzub laser.
