That laser is FIRE!

Missiles are too expensive for FPV class drones and fiber optic drones are resistant to EM attacks and don’t need GPS either. 150KW burns most things including titanium and carbon fiber. Tungsten is too heavy to fly as armor. Maybe ceramics but pulse lasers can do plasma shockwave based kills.

Love it, its probably the only way to put up a protective bubble around a high value target.
