Science and Technology

The UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) has conducted successful tests of its first-ever laser weapon, named "DragonFire". The high-powered laser is designed to target and neutralize drones, offering a potentially low-cost alternative to traditional missiles. The DragonFire laser weapon is expected to significantly reduce the reliance on expensive ammunition, offering a cost-effective solution for air defense. According to the UK government, firing the laser for just 10 seconds costs the equivalent of using a heater for an hour, typically less than £10 per shot. This cost efficiency makes it a promising option for military operations.


      DragonFire will be utilized by both the Army and the Royal Navy, enhancing their air defense capabilities.
