Lasers are probably best suited to combat drones, military analysts said in an interview with Business Insider. James Black, Assistant Director of Defense and Security Research and Security Group in Rand Europe, said that, it is likely that Ukraine has begun to deploy high -energy laser systems mainly in the experimental order, and that there are also "technical, logistics and operational difficulties for deploying such systems ".
He said that there were questions about how to integrate weapons with air defense systems and other military operations. Nick Jensen Jones, Director of Armment Research Services, said that laser weapons made using commercially available technologies should be directed to the target for a longer time. This makes it more effective against moving vehicles. "Fast -moving air goals, such as fighters and many types of ammunition, will be less vulnerable to such weapons," he said.
But military analysts say that laser weapons that work through the direction of a powerful laser beam to the target can be an effective way to combat drones. "In the world, interest in new inexpensive ways to combat UAVs and other air threats is growing," Black said. However, he added that these weapons will not become a "silver bullet", its main use is probably "lesions of low-value or low-percent purposes, such as cheap UAVs, which will save expensive expensive rockets.
