The US Navy has been intercepting and shooting down drones and other missiles shot at them and Israel. It’s very expensive. A few hundred dollar drone shot down by a hundred thousand dollar missile. They have been experimenting with lasers and have been fairly effective. Now Britain has come out with a laser that can shoot down a drone for $13 a shot.
Air defense for $13 a shot? How lasers could revolutionize the way militaries counter enemy missiles and drones

The Defense Ministry says the DragonFire can precisely hit a target as small as a coin “over long ranges,” but it did not offer specifics. The exact range of the weapon is classified, it said.
The laser beam can cut through metal “leading to structural failure or more impactful results if the warhead is targeted,” a UK Defense Ministry statement said.
