Ukraine is literally testing laser air defense now
Forget the sci-fi movies, because Mykhailo Fedorov just confirmed that Ukraine is actually running real-world tests on laser interception systems.
It sounds like a plot from a low-budget action flick, but Ukraine is moving fast on laser-based air defense. Mykhailo Fedorov Fedorov isn't giving away the classified play-by-play, but the tests are already happening and showing results. It is not just hype—it is a pivot toward making defense cheaper and faster.
The current star of the show remains the interceptor drone, which took out a massive chunk of incoming Shahed and Gerbera strikes recently. The plan is to scale this up with a new tender for 150,000 more drones. On top of that, there is a race to build affordable AI-powered cruise missiles. The goal is to move from 'impossible' to 'standard inventory' within a year.
When the future becomes a supply chain issue, the battlefield math changes overnight.
