Ukraine has successfully tested a laser weapon designed to counter Russian Geran-2 attack drones, according to the American publication 19FortyFive, citing its own sources. The system, dubbed "Trident" (translated from Ukrainian as "trident," the national emblem of Ukraine), is equipped with artificial intelligence for autonomous targeting.

The laser is mounted on a compact wheeled platform (trailer), ensuring its mobility. According to the publication, the laser's power is such that it can burn through the side of a Geranium-type drone in 3-4 seconds of continuous exposure. Details about its technical specifications (the laser's exact power, battery capacity, and maximum range) are not disclosed and are considered a state secret.
