    Russia has serious problems with mass production of new technologically advanced weaponry. They can make 2. Even 5. But not 500.

      Also lasers are a PERFECT technology for russians to bullshit, at least a cannon/machine gun is more of a binary “it works or it doesn’t”.

      With a laser system russian bullshitters can cut corners everywhere without it being as apparent, which means that I expect russian laser counter drone systems to be completely respectable on paper and absolute trash in actual use.

    The energy requirements for this sort of thing to actually be effective for area denial is massive, and will make it a big expensive target.

    So go for it guys, waste that cash.
