Contract signed for laser that can take out high-speed drones (UK)

This is a problem that has or allowed to develop from the biggest war in Europe since ww11

The drones are similar to previously reportes around europe and by very experienced operators possibly originate from a ship well outside our 12 mile limit.

Their survival is paramount so they cannot be identified they are apped at evading.

Interception is made difficult by their size and movability.

There was a possible leak in security knowing arrival time so it could be very embarrassing if this had tried to hit the plane.

Wake up call for our lack of defence we need a ship or 2 with modern anti air detection with systems for interception possible upgrade or new which ever costs less

Lasers are less effective in cloudy or fog and not yet deployed unless with other systems.

If an modern day frigate similar to the French one to be used during our EU presidency the aggressor would not have chanced this act.

Our flight path to Dublin is open to this targeted operation and now we have to address it.
