The anti-drone laser system from the Posokh project had already completed preliminary tests in June at a testing range in the Kherson region. During the trials, compact battery-powered units-intended to operate at ranges of 500 to 700 meters-were used as prototypes, TASS reports.
"During static tests, we confirmed that the system effectively destroys both the warhead and the FPV drones themselves-they burn out. Motors and batteries are destroyed, and the drones crash,” the developers stated.
The laser system is expected to enter combat trial phase in the SMO zone before the end of summer 2025.
