Isn’t this the item that recently was proven to work well?

IIRC, they had a live-fire flight test which was successful.

Naturally, Zero the Communist Usurper wants to shut it down.

“Isn’t this the item that recently was proven to work well?”

I wonder. True, the laser system seems to work very well against liquid fueled (thin skinned) boosters, but can same be said for relatively thicker skinned solid fuel rockets? The wall thickness on the casings can be pretty thick on these types. Do they have the necessary “oomph” to burn through them?

Again, I wonder.
