South Korea unveils ‘StarWars Project’ laser system to fight against North Korean drones
South Korea is planning to deploy laser weapons systems to shoot down threatening drones from the neighbouring North.
The new laser weapons – dubbed the “StarWars Project” – are invisible and noise-free and would be operated solely by electricity. They would down incoming umanned aerial vehicles by melting them out of the sky, one official told AFP.
“When a laser weapon transfers heat to a drone, its surface melts. As the surface melts, the internal components catch fire, causing the drone to eventually fall,” said Lee Sang-yoon, an official at the national Defence Acquisition Programme Administration (DAPA).

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Revelation 12:7-9
Oh a starwars huh?
Reach for the lasers
Wow that's Amazing reality show testing and congratulations American allies!
So.. Its has begun…
Believe none of this nonsense
This is the same footage used for the British one??
How far does it remain dangerous? Imagine accidentally shooting down a satellite 😂
I want pew pew sounds.
Nice they did it! It even has a Visible laser!whats its shooting at
I am extremely curious how powerful a nuclear-powered particle laser is. Can it punch a hole on a steel plate?? Please humour me, great weapon developers and designers.
Where the F is GTA VI at????
Fancy. Maybe we'll get to see some X-wings and Millenium Falcons soon. 😅
Why does this look exactly like the pictures of the british one?
Telegraph has run out of fact checkers and will hire anyone who posts anything about anything 🤦🏼♂️
Here's a clue… confirm the story is accurate and don't use material if its been used before – video in question is from UK
This is literally footage from the british test😂
The world needs a technological leap to defeat cheap drones and missiles.
Had been wondering what ever happened to the U.S. Star Wars defense the SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) designed to laser incoming Russian nuclear missiles.
Some people didn't study physics at school…

They are suppose to be good at math is what the video is trying to tell us .
All is great until in rains on their (laser) parade 😉
to defeat the laser, one needs to paint blue drones or cover drone with mirrors.
