It is reported that the testing of the Posokh military laser system took place at an unnamed testing site in northwestern Russia, in which static targets were all hit. Photo: @TACC.

Static targets were destroyed at a distance of 500 meters. It only took one second of laser direct fire on these targets to destroy them. Photo: @TACC.

However, no test footage of moving targets or real-world scenarios has been released. Photo: @TACC.

According to a representative of the company that produces the Posokh military laser system, when aimed at the engine of a drone, Posokh is said to take only two milliseconds to destroy the target. Photo: @TACC.

It is reported that the laser system being tested has an output power of only 3 kW, while the company is said to have developed a more powerful version of up to 80 kW, to counter Ukrainian UAVs, to protect industrial and critical infrastructure. Photo: @TACC.

Russian media claims that this laser system will be tested live on the battlefield later this year. Photo: @TACC.

This weapon is also used as a solution against long-range Ukrainian drones such as the Liutyi, with a claimed range of 1,500 meters. Photo: @TACC.

Earlier, it was reported that the Russian military was using China's Silent Hunter laser system, with a capacity of 30 kW, to fight against Ukrainian reconnaissance drones. Photo: @ militarnyi.com

In March 2025, Russia unveiled a prototype laser rifle designed to disable drones, helping to protect civilian infrastructure from Ukrainian UAV attacks. Photo: @TACC.
