reut.rs/4cQk2Xp
Quick Glance: UK Considers Providing Latest Laser Weapons to Ukraine
- Defense Secretary Grant Shapps suggests that prototypes of the latest laser weapons being developed in the UK could potentially be provided to Ukraine in the future to strengthen its air defense systems.
- Originally planned for production to begin in 2032, the UK Defense Ministry now aims to achieve this earlier - by 2027.
- Shapps aims to significantly shorten the usually lengthy development-procurement procedures so that the system can be deployed on ships and potentially on land as quickly as possible for use against combat drones.
- The DragonFire laser weapon will be distinguished by its high speed and accuracy, with the additional advantage of low cost compared to air defense missiles - a single shot lasting 10 seconds is equivalent in cost to using a standard heater for an hour.
