Yeah this is what we need... More weapons to kill eachother.
Lasers like this are mostly useful as defensive weapons. They are good at shooting incoming artillery shells, missiles, and small drones. They don't have the range to be an effective offensive weapon. Kinetic effectors dominate there.
If these existed today, many fewer Ukrainian civilians would be dead from Russian drones and missiles.
