Alongside hypersonic advancements, directed energy weapons, or laser systems, are reshaping tactical possibilities. Capable of neutralizing threats silently and instantly, these systems leverage high-powered laser beams, demanding minimal logistical support once operational. Current testing confirms efficacy in various combat situations, positioning laser weapons as a cost-effective alternative to traditional munitions.
However, the development of energy-based systems raises concerns surrounding power supply, atmospheric interference, and geopolitical consequences. As countries like China and Russia also pursue similar technologies, the race for supremacy in directed energy weapons becomes critical for national security.
