"The US Navy's USS Portland test-fired a laser weapon against a floating target in the Middle East.
The test follows another from May 2020, when the laser was used to disable a flying drone.
Developing laser weapons is a key area of research for teams across the military."

Will be expecting a weapon display from China or Russia next…even if it’s metaverse (VR) material. If I can’t trust a ghost video then how in heII do I believe this US Navy demonstration actually took place? Gotta stay consistent.
