Russia deploys new laser weapon with Russian armed forces

A new Russian laser weapon designed to instantly obliterate targets entered military service over the weekend, the Russian defense ministry revealed.

The Peresvet combat laser, a weapon Russian President Vladimir Putin boasted about earlier this year, has entered experimental combat service with the Russian armed forces.

The laser is said to be able to destroy targets “within fractions of a second,” but Russia has been quiet about what the weapon actually does.
