Amid a rising tide of adversary drones and missile attacks, laser weapons are finally poised to enter the battlefield.

The United States Army has officially sent a pair of high-energy laser weapons overseas to defend American troops and US allies against enemy drones, the service recently revealed, marking the first publicly known deployment of a directed-energy system for air defense in military history. And, according to a top official, those weapons are actively blasting threats out of the sky.

That more American troops weren’t killed in these attacks was essentially a matter of luck, according to Army General Michael 'Erik' Kurilla, the current head of Central Command.
