Russia could use new-age laser weapons to disrupt Western satellites or Ukrainian drones in the current war, a top Kremlin official has hinted.
Yury Borisov, deputy premier in charge of military development, said new mobile system Peresvet was already deployed with Moscow’s forces.
“It can ‘blind’ all satellite reconnaissance systems of an ‘enemy’ up to an orbit of 1,500km [932 miles], thanks to laser radiation,” he said.
