According to the report, Ukraine is turning to a new, low-cost weapon in its fight against aerial drones: a silent laser system known as Sunray. It said that this device reportedly emits no visible light during operations, with a setup resembling a telescope flanked by cameras along its sides.
The report stated that in a recent field test, a drone was ablaze from a few hundred yards away within seconds of initiation. The developers said Sunray took two years to create, with overall costs reaching millions, yet each unit could eventually cost a few hundred dollars to produce.
The report said that the Compact is enough to be mounted on the roof of a pickup truck; the system signals real deployability for frontline operations. It is faced with shifting priorities in international defense support, Ukraine has been pushed to build more homegrown solutions to survive its war against Russia.
The report added that its effort has yielded high-speed interceptors, long-range missiles, unmanned ground vehicles, and electronic warfare tools to jam hostile drones.
Additionally, Ukraine’s evolving counter-drone network has been likened to a cheaper “Iron Dome” model, leveraging low-cost technologies to neutralize higher-value threats.
