Video Description

India’s “Star Wars” Laser Shoots Down Swarm of Drones | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G India has successfully test-fired a laser weapon system in Andhra Pradesh. Developed by the DRDO, the 30-kilowatt laser was successful in shooting down a drone followed by a swarm of drones. With this, India has entered an elite club of nations. Only the US, Russia and China are known to have used laser weapons against aerial threats.
