Laser Weapons

Laser Weapons are energy weapons that use concentrated beams of electromagnetic energy to destroy enemy targets such as aircraft, missiles and drones.
==History==
The U.S. Navy began combat testing laser weapons mounted on naval vessels in the 2010s. A United States naval vessel used a laser to destroy a suicide drone fired by the Taliban at the vessel off the coast of Karachi in September 2016 marking the first use of lasers in combat. The first combat lasers were invisible to the human eye and targeted the fuselage of an enemy vehicle causing it to explode.
Israel deployed its Iron Beam laser system on land as a form of anti-air defense around the same period.
By 2020, Russia and China also had military lasers while both these nations, the United Stated and several other militaries were developing a variety of lasers for use on land vehicles, naval vessels and aircraft. Lasers were also an integral part of missile defense systems under development in many nations.
Russia placed lasers on its Arnata tanks in the 2020s. The United States developed lasers for use by the M1A3 tanks during the same period.
By the 2030s, many leading military powers began researching and developing lasers for use by infantry and android soldiers.
