US secret weapon cuts drone border breaches by 75%
The use of a high-energy laser system by the U.S. military has contributed to reducing the activity of hostile drones along the southern border by up to 75%, shortly after its deployment less than two weeks into service at the end of August. The system, which operates by directing a precise thermal beam, has shot down 11 drones over ten days and has halted approximately 300 drones since the beginning of the year. This enhances the ability of forces to monitor the borders and counter threats from gangs and criminals using drones. Although its effectiveness decreases in bad weather, it offers a low-cost solution with an average cost lower than traditional air defense systems, though it has limitations in rainy or foggy conditions.
