Shvabe, part of Rostec, unveils a mobile laser system designed to target drones, but details remain unclear due to a lack of transparency in its presentation.

A Canberra-made laser is about to become NATO's newest frontline defence against enemy drones, in a deal experts say could transform the future of warfare.

Much remains unknown about the European laser defense system—including its effective range, its vulnerability to weather conditions, and its effectiveness at engaging multiple targets.

Russia said it tested a nuclear-powered cruise missile and torpedo, two of its experimental weapons, in recent days.

Investment in laser air defense systems is rising as nations respond to drone attacks, but significant technical limitations may hinder their effectiveness.

We explore the math problem facing NATO — and one possible solution. By Lara Jakes I write about the weapons industry. Russian drones have been swarming Ukraine in increasing numbers as Moscow ramps up production. Then, last week, more than a dozen ...

“KABs pose a greater threat to civilians and the rear than the soldiers they are supposed to hit because they are highly inaccurate weapons. Even the long-range KABs used in recent weeks are inaccurate,” he said in the interview.

Russia has begun using long-range glide bombs, known as KABs, to hit residential areas deep behind the front line. In the last week, Moscow has, for the first time, targeted Mykolaiv, Poltava, and the city of Lozova in Kharkiv Oblast with these weapons.

As Vladimir Putin flaunts his nuclear arsenal, Germany has fired a new shot in the global arms race — a ship-mounted laser weapon. Rheinmetall and MBDA confirmed their high-energy laser system passed over 100 live-fire tests aboard the Sachsen-class frigate,

Laser beams, robodogs and drone-zapping microwaves, these are the types of weapons that could be deployed on battlefields in the not too distant future. Some are already here. The threat of a wider war in Europe feels increasingly real to many on the ...

The system demonstrated what Rheinmetall described as a first for Europe: successful target engagement “in front of blue sky."
