⚡️ Great Britain will probably send its DragonFire laser weapon to Ukraine: it can shoot down UAVs, - The Telegraph.

London plans to introduce this new weapon into its army by 2027. But its prototypes may end up in Ukraine even earlier, said British Defense Minister Grant Shapps.

"There is a live conflict going on in Europe right now, and we have a unique modern weapon to solve it, which can be useful," Shapps said.

A special feature of DragonFire is its cheapness - the declared cost is 10 pounds (490 UAH) per shot.

This is really a product for years to come, says Shapps.

@TheOldGuy I'm not sure what to celebrate - the advancement of war weapons which will end up against domestic 'enemy'
or
the piles of tax payer money for funding YAWN (Yet Another War Now)

While I don't want Putin to overrun, it's like small Putin's everywhere [Authority]
