India tests 100kW laser weapon for navy

India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is preparing to test a powerful 100kW laser weapon system for the Indian Navy under the DURGA-II program. This represents a major leap from earlier 25-30 kW systems, as the new weapon is designed to physically destroy drones mid-air, burn through incoming missile components, and disrupt enemy targeting systems. The development marks a significant step in India's indigenous defense technology and future warfare capabilities.
