Russia has made significant investments in military laser technology, with its main three combat laser systems being called Zadira, Peresvet, and Sokol-Eshelon.
Until the 1980s, laser weapons were considered the stuff of science fiction, with engineers needing to solve a range of complex problems, like how to generate enough power to create laser pulses powerful enough to destroy enemy targets. Major advances have since been made. Check out three laser systems fielded by Russia’s military.
Russia has invested heavily in military lasers, which include the Zadira, designed to fry enemy drones at distances up to 5 km, to the Peresvet, a strategic laser platform designed to disable enemy spacecraft at altitudes up to 1,500 km, plus hostile drones at long ranges. Rounding out the trio is the Sokol-Eshelon, an anti-satellite laser weapons system originating in the Soviet period, and consisting of an airborne laser attached to a modified Il-76 transport hauler known as the Beriev A-60 laser laboratory. That system can disable spacecraft at altitudes up to 1,500 km using a laser embedded in its rear, in a slot carved behind the wing center section.
In a statement, U.S. Central Command announced that F-22 Raptors from Virginia’s 94th Fighter Squadron have been deployed to the Middle East to counter Putin.

When I work part time I earn more than 700$ per day from my cell phone. g15 I made $21,000 on my fourth paycheck last month… It’s a very simple task that anyone can do. One of my oldest friends made over $17,543 working part time from home.
