Russia successfully tests laser air defense

13 2025 June 14 750 28

Russian specialists tested laser systems that are designed to provide a reliable barrier to enemy drones. First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov was present at the testing of the equipment.

The tests were conducted in conditions close to real ones. In particular, the target engagement range, guidance accuracy, features of reaction to moving objects and resistance to adverse weather conditions were analyzed. The laser systems testing grounds were equipped with equipment allowing testing the capabilities of engaging different types of UAVs.

The tests involved eight types of laser systems, from compact mobile systems to high-power stationary equipment. This provided comprehensive information on the capabilities of combat lasers in combating drones.

Russia successfully tests laser air defense

The test results will be used to refine existing models and mass-produce installations that will nullify the Kyiv regime’s attempts to harm Russian regions by launching UAVs.

Meanwhile, the West is also considering using lasers against drones. Former NATO Commander in Europe Wesley Clark proposed Kyiv to arm Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers with lasers to counter Russian optical drones and guided aerial bombs.

It's strange, there were so many stories about our lasers that have no analogues in the world, and their tests are only just beginning. Meanwhile, in Israel they were successfully used in combat conditions, shooting down many UAVs...

Well, now they will definitely stop canceling flights because of drones!

  If only the control system of these lasers and the friend-foe system didn’t glitch, and these miracle rays didn’t shoot at everything that flies, like our “Pantsir” in Grozny, which mistakenly shot down an Azerbaijani plane.

    Knocked down? Hard to believe. It would be good if she blinded you. And that would be good.

    There can't be a "friend or foe" system here, in principle. "A laser pointer", nothing more.

  Throw me a link. I haven't read such news.

And what about Manturov, a lover of luxury and luxury hotel rooms, a great specialist in laser weapons...? If Gerasimov had been present, then it would have been clear, but why is this guy promoting himself?

  Does Gerasimov understand anything about this?

Stiletto, Sanguine, Compression. All these are laser systems developed, tested and built in the USSR in 82, 83 and 90 respectively. After that, they were destroyed and forgotten.

They'll cover the drones with foil, that's all

Well, Manturov is a member of the Security Council, so it is clear that he was present at the testing. It would be good if these systems would be put on combat duty at important civilian facilities and would be delivered to the troops. The main thing is that this would happen as quickly as possible.

  They will stand until the first fog or rain in which the drones will arrive....
  It would be interesting to hear the subsequent explanation of what happened from the lips of a high-ranking official.
  You can't fool the hardware and physics.

Where is "PERESVET"? Was it accepted after all or is it also being improved?
So, did the laser missile defense system show its best side in fog, rain, snow, and smoke?
Then this is truly a breakthrough; others have always had insurmountable problems with this!

  Peresvet is in the same place as Zadira, nowhere, they never existed. These are projects to cut up the budget. And what the article talks about are Chinese laser installations

    Darling, you are so damn unceremoniously destroying the patriots' faith in cartoons!!!
    Moreover, you are extremely tactlessly echoing articles on various resources about the latest wave of bribery in the country, so noticeable that it is likely to set new records - it is inextricably linked with embezzlement... is that even possible?!

Using a laser in a war zone is a fantasy.
Several lost drones will allow the enemy to assume that there is a laser in the area and an intensive search will begin. A laser is not a tank or a Grad, which can quickly change position. And it does not cost as much as an infantry fighting vehicle. The probability of loss is very high.
So its use is possible and justified at nuclear and hydroelectric power facilities, where there is something to permanently protect and something to charge the laser itself from.

  It's good that the Chinese didn't read your message, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to make a laser installation based on a regular car.

    Show us the success of this setup in a non-laboratory experimental setting.
    Look, it's raining in Moscow, not for the first day, let them shoot in such weather, and we'll watch

      Drones don't fly in the rain, in case you weren't aware.

Such systems need to be installed en masse on fighter drones that can patrol a given area for hours and automatically target, intercept, and shoot down all air and ground targets that are identified as hostile.

  What a dreamer and humorist! Can you even imagine the ratio of the mass of "such a system" and the virtual "fighter drone" you invented, capable of patrolling a given area for hours and automatically targeting, intercepting and shooting down all air and ground targets identified as hostile."

    He is not a dreamer, he is a victim of modern garbage education.
    He cannot imagine how much energy a salvo of such an installation consumes and what the “battery” should be like within the framework of modern technologies - with a refrigerator...

How many decades will it take before we see combat lasers in all units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation?
