        Star wars uses different physics, you can actually see light move there. Wouldn’t work on earth.

          The Star Wars universe must be stuck in an Octarine field, as that makes light move very slowly.

    Yeah, but the one top (Chad position) looks sexy as hell, while the one on the bottom looks like someone kitbashed it from sprue frames

    Firing a piece of munition that is worth many times the target is a win for the enemy even if you hit it, they can just keep lobbing Ali Express crap at you until you run out of missiles.

      I suspect that a mass-produced shell with a time fuze can be made more-cheaply than a drone.

      I also kinda suspect that using a pulse laser on a drone runs the risk of eye damage to anyone nearby and looking at the thing, from reflected light.

    Genuinely curious: can they destroy large swarms of drones given the time to load?
