minus-squareShadowRam@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoYeah, have you seen the size of those? Those are chem lasers in order to get the wattage needed to destroy something. Plus you need the electronics/mechanics to track the device perfectly to keep the laser on target in order for it to do damage. All completely unnecessary to drop a small drone out of the sky.
