China Develops Anti Drone Air Defense System

Despite what the article says, this is NOT a megwatt class laser.  To get a MWCL into that size package would be an impressive feat.  Second, that slightly damage drone would be totally toasted, not just missing a spar.  Third, the optics.  Really.  Fourth, the altitude restrictions they talk about: 500m or less.

This laser is probably around a kilowatt, maybe as much as ten, but that would be a stretch.
