Looking on YouTube, a random short video appeared about Dragonfire, but first a BBC link to explain what Dragonfire is -
The UK has successfully fired a high-power laser weapon against an aerial target for the first time in a trial.
It is hoped that the test will pave the way for a low-cost alternative to missiles to shoot down targets like drones.
The DragonFire weapon is precise enough to hit a £1 coin from a kilometre away, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) says.
So basically, it's a really big laser gun. Has anyone else seen this story -
Seems impressive.
