The US military has advanced laser weapons in the Middle East, including the Strait of Hormuz installed done

These laser weapons are capable of destroying drones and incoming cruise missiles, the weapons being operated by military personnel with modified Xbox gaming controllers.

According to international media reports, the US Department of War has stated that laser weapons can destroy targets at a lower cost than conventional missiles.

According to Mark Ness, a defense technology expert, lasers can be used to target drones with high precision, even focusing the beam to a specific location to disable its sensors or destroy the entire drone.

According to reports, the ‘High Energy Laser with Integrated Optical Laser and Surveillance’ system deployed in the Middle East uses a 60 kilowatt laser, which is large and heavy enough to be installed on warships.

Reports suggest that the technology is also being used against drones on the Mexican border, but experts say it has yet to be used against human targets.

According to a report by the American media New York Post, the US has been working on this technology for almost 50 years and about 500 million dollars are being spent on the project. Boeing has also developed a relatively small laser system that can target third-class drones.

60 KW laser, but weight and weather are major obstacles

According to the report, the laser system is so large and heavy that it is currently installed on warships, making it unlikely that soldiers would carry such a laser system into the field in a backpack.

US media also say that clear skies are essential for laser weapons to be effective and that their effectiveness may be limited in the event of a large number of simultaneous drone strikes.
