Ukraine has released its first laser weapons systemcalled ‘Tryzub’. A video posted by Commander Vadym Sukharevsky, of unmanned systems forces, shows that this laser can destroy attack drones, bombs and missiles From cruise or ballistic at a distance of up to three kilometers, in addition, it can not only destroy other weapons, since it is capable of demolishing helicopters, airplanes and recognition drones at a distance of up to five kilometers.
This laser can also be used to blind drones, cruise missiles, helicopters and airplanes at a distance of up to ten kilometers, in addition, the video shows a prototype of the weapon impacting a terrestrial objective and interrupting the camera of a fiber optic drone, which demonstrates its kinetic and non -kinetic capabilities.
However, judging by the video, although this laser system It will be equipped with an OptoElectronics station face a future, currently, orientation is done manually with a Joystick. “The system is still in the functional prototype phase, so this function is likely to be incorporated later,” says the Military newspaper.
On the other hand, Sukharevsky has not shared any detail about system developers, power reach and weapon platform. It is only limited to sharing that supports this project so that, with the help of technological solutions, the Army of Ukraine can “Eff The Enemy Recognition Drones effectively and guarantee the defense of strategic facilities and places of residence “of the population.
Also, the half The Defense Post He adds that “Sukharevsky hinted at the future possibility of having mobile air defense units equipped with laser systems instead of machine guns.”
Ukraine is done with more unmanned “bombers”
The Ministry of Defense has shared in a official statement that has codified and Approved the B-1 non-manned aviation complex of Ukrainian manufacturing for its operation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“The drones B-1 are ultraligeros ‘bombers’ designed to destroy Concentrations of labor, vehicles and armored vehicles, and military facilities in the front line and behind the enemy lines. Complex airplanes can transport several types of ammunition. The UAV is propelled by a powerful and low noise engine. This bomber can remain in the air for several hours. B-1 complex aircraft have a greater resistance to enemy electronic warfare. A characteristic of the complex is its ability to deploy and collapse rapidly, which reduces the risk for crew during the missions, ”details the Ministry of Defense in its statement.
