Ukrainian officials call for UK to send experimental laser weapon to Ukraine

Ukrainian officials are calling on the United Kingdom to send an experimental laser weapon to help fend off Russian drone and missile attacks.

The U.K. Ministry of Defense recently declassified footage of the DragonFire laser-directed energy weapon, an air defense weapon intended to shoot down missiles and aircraft. Some in Ukraine, eager to boost their strained air defense forces, are eyeing an expedited deployment of the technology to help in its war with Russia.
