Trump, Witkoff and Kushner seem to want to enlarge their fortunes in cooperation with Russia at the expense of Ukraine. Putin’s financial advisor Kirill Dmitiriev has apparently invented an idea of $12 trillion in US-Russia cooperation, while Russia is merely a $2 trillion economy. Only senile Trump can be dumb or mad enough to take such nonsense seriously, but none of his aides dare to say that the emperor is naked – and mentally deficient. This is both stupidity and attempted larceny.
Ultimately, Trump wants to get the Nobel Peace Prize, which he will of course never get since everything he does runs contrary to democracy, freedom and peace.
Are there any actually working anti-drone lasers already around?
I believe most are chemically pumped. Producing an electrically pumped laser, of sufficient power is not an easy task. Making it small enough to be useful is even harder.
The problem is that each shot costs more in materials than the drone. Lasers are also quite easy to counter, if deployed in mass (mostly by adding reflective foil coatings).
Apparently there’s that one in arizona that shot down a birthday balloon…
