The Americans want to intercept the "Geraniums" in a cheap way

The American company AeroVironment presented a new laser with the name LOCUST X3. Engineers position the development as a cheap tool capable of intercepting small drones. Details are provided by Breaking Defense.

We are talking about a 20-30 kilowatt laser, which is part of the anti-drone complex. Plus, there is an AI-based goal tracking system.

In an accompanying speech, Aaron Westman, a representative of the development company, confirmed that the system was designed to intercept drones such as Shahed-136 and Geranium.
