17/12 Ukraine became the fifth country in the world to have its own laser weapon - "Trident"

Ukraine has its own laser weapon - "Trident". In addition, a project using a drone "womb" with two FPVs is currently being developed.

This was announced by the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Vadym Sukharevskyi, Interfax-Ukraine reports.

"We can state that today Ukraine is, if I'm not mistaken, the fifth country that can say it has a laser. Today, we can shoot down planes with this laser at an altitude of more than 2 km.", - said Sukharevskyi.

The commander added that the military is working to scale and strengthen the laser.

Separately, Sukharevsky drew attention to the development of "mother" drones, which carry light strike drones.

"Today, we use the so-called "mother" drones, FPV carriers, with a penetration depth of more than 70 km. They carry two FPVs under them and actually act as a repeater and hit deep enemy targets. In my opinion, this is a real breakthrough", - emphasized Sukharevskyi. He added that the scaling of this project is one of the most promising elements in the work.
