More pictures from the results of the DragonFire tests. You can see how it fired a 120-mm mortar shell, cut the metal plating and burned the camera of the copter.

DragonFire was successfully tested in January this year. The laser strikes with a direct beam and can hit visible targets at the speed of light. The system's accuracy is described as pinpoint - the weapon can hit a £1 coin from a kilometer away. A ten-second shot is equivalent in cost to using a conventional heater for an hour. The cost of laser operation does not exceed £10 (492 hryvnias).
