1. UK scientists and engineers have successfully tested a high-powered laser weapon on a British Army vehicle. 2. The laser weapon, part of the MoD's Land Laser Directed Energy Weapon Demonstrator programme, neutralised targets over 1km away. 3. The technology aims to provide a low-cost, precise defense against aerial threats like drones, with further testing planned for later this year.
