“A high-energy laser weapon has been fired by the British Army from an armoured vehicle for the first time and successfully destroyed flying drones,” the government website reports.

It is noted that, unlike conventional munitions, ‘laser weapons are virtually limitless in terms of ammunition supply, which means they could represent a cost-effective alternative to some current in-service weapons’.
