North Korea fired a suspected ballistic missile off its east coast on Wednesday, authorities in the region reported, underscoring leader Kim Jong Un's New Year vow to bolster the military to counter an unstable international situation.
Japan's coast guard, which first reported the launch, said it could be a ballistic missile but did not provide further details.
"Since last year, North Korea has repeatedly launched missiles, which is very regrettable," Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told reporters.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said nuclear-armed North Korea fired an unidentified projectile off the east coast, without elaborating.
United Nations Security Council resolutions ban all ballistic missile tests by North Korea, and have imposed sanctions over the programmes.
In state media summaries of a speech Kim gave ahead of the New Year, the North Korean leader did not specifically mention missiles or nuclear weapons, but said that national defence must be bolstered.
North Korea is under international sanctions over its nuclear weapons programme but since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic it has become even more isolated, imposing border lockdowns that have slowed trade to a trickle and choking off any in-person diplomatic engagements.
It has also stuck to a self-imposed moratorium on testing its largest intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) or nuclear weapons.
The last tests of ICBMs or a nuclear bomb were in 2017, before Kim launched a diplomatic overture to the United States and South Korea that has since stalled.
But the country has continued test firing new, short-range ballistic missiles, including one launched from a submarine in October.
Kim's latest speech made no mention of efforts by South Korea to restart stalled negotiations or offers by the United States to talk without preconditions, casting doubts on South Korean President Moon Jae-in's push to achieve a breakthrough before he term ends in May.
The White House, Pentagon and U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
At a regular news briefing on Monday, State Department spokesperson Ned Price reiterated the U.S. desire for dialogue with North Korea aimed at increasing the security of the United States and its allies in the region.
He repeated that Washington had no hostile intent towards North Korea and was prepared to meet without preconditions.
Price declined to comment on Kim’s slimmer appearance in a photo published recently in North Korean state media and on speculation about his health, saying "we don’t want to add to that speculation."

The sudden escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in May of 2021 was rekindled by violent confrontations between Jewish and Palestinian protesters on 6 May in East Jerusalem, who were awaiting the Supreme Court of Israel's decision to evict six Palestinian families from Sheikh Jarrah, a predominantly Palestinian neighbourhood in East Jerusalem.
The following day, Israeli police stormed the compound of the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Temple Mount, the third-holiest site in Islam and the holiest site in Judaism respectively - officers used tear gas, rubber bullets and stun grenades to disperse stone-throwing Palestinians. The assault coincided with Qadr Night, an Islamic holy day, and Jerusalem Day, an Israeli national holiday commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem.
Before an official ceasefire came into effect on 21 May, Palestinian militant organisations Hamas and Islamic Jihadhad fired over 4,360 rockets and mortar shells at southern and central Israel from Gaza, two thirds of which missed their target. Israel responded with an aggressive campaign of airstrikes targeting the Gaza Strip, whilst having intercepted rockets entering Israeli airspace using their missile-defence system, Iron Dome.
Iron Dome is a mobile, all-weather air defence system developed by Rafael Advanced Defence Systems and is designed to intercept short-range rockets and artillery shells launched from distances of 4-70 kilometres, developed over the course of 3 years for just $200 million. It constitutes as part of a multi-tiered missile defence system that Israel was developing in 2016 aimed to protect the country from threats to national security.
The system relies on missile defence batteries that consists of 3 main components:
According to a spokesperson from the Israel Ministry of Defence, Iron Dome has intercepted more than 2,400 rockets bound of civilian areas since it began operating in early 2011. During Operation Pillar of Defense in November 2012, the Israeli Air Force claimed that Iron Dome intercepted 421 rockets from Gaza before a ceasefire was announced. Iron Dome was also employed during Operation Protective Edge, intercepting 735 projectiles launched by Hamas targeting southern, central and northern parts of Israel.
During the most recent conflict of the 2021 Israel-Palestine crisis, Iron Dome shot down 1,428 rockets with an interception rate of 95%. As a result of Iron Dome's success, Israel has only suffered a dozen civilian fatalities, in stark comparison to more than 240 Palestinians deaths. The Israel Defence Forces have also claimed to have shot down a Hamas drone crossing into Israeli airspace using an Iron Dome battery.
Undoubtedly, Iron Dome's immense potency and performance in battle provides a comforting sense of security to the Israelis in a time of political turbulence. Its military prowess broadcasts a strong deterrent message to any adversaries lurking within its umbrella of protection, fending off most attacks and discouraging Hamas' futile rocket assaults.
Yet, Iron Dome’s impressive success rate and popularity also seems to dampen any possibility for a permanent ceasefire — Israeli leaders no longer feel the need to search for a diplomatic solution. Thus, there seems to be no conclusive end in sight to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a blood-soaked rivalry that has been simmering for the last 73 years.
"It's very success is a reflection of Israel's biggest problem. Iron Dome allows you to almost ignore the fact that you have a neighbour just across the border with thousands of rockets pointed at you, because they can no longer really harm you."
— Yaakov Katz, Editor-in-Chief of the Jerusalem Post

A description of The Shadow from one of the pulp magazines says, "He battles crime with thrills and chills, and smoking automatics." In this article we'll take a look at the main weapon The Shadow uses in the pulps and in the 1994 move - his "smoking automatics!"
|July 1, 1934 Issue of The Shadow|
Let me share my personal experience with the M1911 and automatics from my days in the military. I had to qualify with the M1911 when I went through Basic Armor Training at Fort Knox, KY in the early '80s. I remember the M1911 had a lot of kick to it but it was a great weapon to fire. I also spent several years as an Air Force Security Forces member and carried a revolver (.38 caliber) until the Air Force transitioned us to the automatic M9 Beretta. I have to say that I felt a lot more comfortable carrying an automatic than carrying a revolver! Reloading a revolver takes more time and the double-action trigger could lead to inaccuracies when shooting. With an automatic, reloading time is quicker and the single/double action trigger enabled more accurate shooting.
If I was The Shadow facing a mob of mobsters and their blazing gats, I would much prefer automatic pistols. They would give me an advantage in accuracy and reload speed, things The Shadow would want in his war on crime!

The early firearms were fueled by a compacted air chamber which was associated with the weapon by a hose. They were utilized for sport shooting and playing war games in the forested areas.
Low-Speed Non-Deadly Firearms
Airsoft firearms were made to be low-speed non-deadly weapons. This is cultivated by utilizing a 6mm or 8mm plastic BB that is exceptionally light terminated at low speeds. In Japan, as far as possible is 300fps with a .20 gram BB for all weapons. They ought not to be mistaken for Daisy BB weapons sold in the US for a considerable length of time which at the short-range are deadly.
Know about Security Concerns

Characteristics of the Perfect Crossbow.
We all want to explore the earth through adventure. People have been hunting since the advent of the human civilization. In the past, hunting was the only way through which society used to trap and catch wild animals. With an ever-evolving world, hunting is today considered more of a sport as opposed to the past when it was entirely a mode of catching wild meat. Two Centuries ago, people hunted using primitive bows and arrows but with changing times they have gotten used to crossbows made from the latest technology.
Out of the many types of bows on the market, many brands stand out from the crowd. Currenlty, some of the best bows in the world include the Samick Sage takedown recurve, the bear archery scout bow, the SAS Rage 70 LBS 30, and the Genesis Original Bow. Some of the qualities the bows mentioned earlier possess is as documented below.
First and foremost, the best bows are always easy to use. Although they might be made from cutting edge technology, they should not give even the layman a hard time when in use. Also, a good compound bow happens to shoot accurately, particularly when in the hands of an experienced marksman. The best compound bow string is the one that happens to deliver many arrows at a go to the bull’s eye or regions within.
Stability is another attribute that distinguishes a good compound bow from the rest of the pack. Fitted with better handling capabilities, such a hunting bow eliminates room for error by a huge margin, mainly because it is stable and heavy enough for easy handling. With a stable bow at hand, shooting an arrow proves to be incredibly simple.
Speed beats all other old bows hands down. Because the best bows are essentially made for hunting, it is needed that they deliver arrows quickly to kill game at a moment’s notice. After all, you would not want an animal to escape just because the arrow was slow enough to drop it off its feet.
Good hunting bows are long and heavy. Due to the added advantage of weight, they become more stable and easy to handle, eliminating all chances of shaking when drawing out an arrow. Before you settle for any purchase, always go for the bow that weighs more than four pounds and is longer than thirty inches. After all people buy a compound bow string to hit targets with much accuracy.
As you shop for a good bow, do not always factor in the aspects of cost as not all good crossbows are expensive. In summary, consider buying a bow that bears some weight and is lengthy, as it is such a device that can meet all your expectations fully.


Tiger II – German WWII tank
One of the largest and most powerful tanks of WWII, the Tiger II was first used in combat during the Allied invasion of Normandy on 11 July 1944. The heavy armor and massive long-range gun gave the Tiger II an advantage against all opposing Western and Soviet tanks. The main armament of the Tiger II was capable of knocking out any Allied tank at ranges exceeding 1.6 miles, well beyond the range of enemy tank guns. Kurt Knispel, the highest scoring tank ace of all time (162 enemy armored fighting vehicles destroyed), also served in a Tiger II.

The forward begins with "The Evolution of the Modern Technique", as described by co-creator and chief proponent, Jeff Cooper. 4", "Jeff Cooper's Commentaries: Vol.  He died at his home on September 25, 2006, at the age of 86. Over several years, the Bear Valley Gunslingers evolved into the South Western Combat Pistol League (SWCPL; known officially as the Southwest Pistol League (SWPL) as the word "combat" offended then California Secretary of State, Frank M. Several years before his death I interviewed him about the three shootings in which he was involved. The Modern Technique applies to handguns in life-or-death situations, not target shooting. I, No. " Cooper had expressed support of Jonas Savimbi, the governments of Rhodesia and apartheid-era South Africa, and At that time, U.S. military personnel were prohibited by Italian law from carrying firearms within their areas of accommodation, which were within the local community and not on U.S. bases. To further refine the modern technique and the methods used in its training, Cooper continued to compile reports of gunfights from students of the technique until his death, building the largest collection of data of its kind. The Weaver stance consists of two components. Cooper considered the Steyr Scout "perfect" and often made the point that "I've got mine!" Both, The Cooper method involves more than just a certain method of shooting. Most gun experts recognize Jeff Cooper as the father of the Modern Technique of handgun shooting, and one of the 20th century’s foremost international experts on the use and history of small arms.  For example, there are a few photographs of shooters predating World War II showing shooters using the Weaver stance. In addition to his books on firearms and self-defense, Cooper wrote several books recounting his life adventures plus essays and short stories, including Fire Works (1980); Another Country: Personal Adventures of the Twentieth Century (1992); To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth (1988); and C Stories (2004). He sold the firm in 1992, but continued living on the Paulden ranch. Jeff also invented the “modern technique,” a technique designed around defensive handgun shooting. When the compression of the trigger by the finger reaches an appropriate point, the "glass rod" of the trigger will break and discharge the firearm. The modern technique of the pistol is founded on the following principles. 9, and an edited version of these were published as "Cooper's Corner" in Guns & Ammo magazine starting in 1986.. Orange – Readiness is a specific alert. Use of the Flash Sight Picture requires a rapid acquisition of the front sight in order to allow the brain to perform its calculations. 7, GGG3, pg. He was 86. Some of the comments from his "Gunsite Gossip" newsletter were printed in Guns & Ammo magazine as "Cooper's Corner" and later were compiled into The Gargantuan Gunsite Gossip. However, more accuracy than point shooting is required to hit one's assailant reliably. Condition 2: A round chambered, full magazine in place, hammer down. Stopping power is a controversial subject because of the absence of data from controlled experiments and therefore a lack of scientific data that would demonstrate the superiority of one particular type of cartridge over another. Now, however, the government has gone into this and is handing out color codes nationwide based upon the apparent nature of a peril. It introduced the White, Yellow, Orange, and Red system of relating to your surroundings. The technique is called "flash" sight picture because the cognition is best able to perform this function when the target and front sight are presented quickly as a single image, in a 'flash', as if the shooter had just turned around to face a threat appearing from close by. The modern technique uses a two-handed grip on the pistol and brings the weapon to eye level so that the sights may be used to aim at the target. I know the term, combat shooter or combat leather, might be politically incorrect for some folks, but that is what I make. Col. Cooper is noted for his no-nonsense quotations about guns and personal defense. Written by Gregory Boyce Morrison, Jeff Cooper as Editorial Adviser. , In 1956, following a career in the US Marine Corps where he served in World War II and the Korean War, and rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel, Jeff Cooper started holding Leatherslap shooting events and established the Bear Valley Gunslingers at Big Bear Lake, California. The modern technique emphasizes two-handed shooting using the Weaver stance, competing with and eventually supplanting the once-prevalent one-handed shooting. In this video, you will be taught the Modern Technique of the Pistol, including an intro to the 5 Elements of the Modern Technique, the Combat Triad, basic pistol manipulation including condition check, loading; un-loading, pistol positions, fighting stance, grip and finger placement, making ready, marksmanship, post engagement, pistol presentation, speed load, head shots, hammer pairs, failure drill, malfunction … When two members of the Dollar Club met, the one who saw and recognized the other first could claim a dollar from the less-aware member. The emphasis for students of the modern technique on the word "front sight" was so great, that a shooting school and a shooting magazine were named after this phrase. The cognitive functions of the brain align objects in the hand with distant objects at great speed. 7, No. The cartridge was more powerful than both the 9×19mm Parabellum and the .45 ACP round. The gradual compression of the trigger by the hand muscles means the alignment may be observed by the eye during the process of compression and kept on the target, regardless of slight changes to the alignment introduced by the muscles of the hand starting to squeeze the trigger. To underscore this point and give students a reference with which to evaluate their own behavior, Cooper developed a color code of readiness, consisting of four states of readiness: Cooper's color code is frequently mistaken as an indicator of danger rather than an indicator of readiness. This drill was invented by Cooper after the kidnapping of US Army Brigadier General James L. Dozier by Italian Red Brigade terrorists. I have never seen this video anywhere else. If one ever does go to Condition Red, the decision to use lethal force has already been made — the "mental trigger" has been tripped. Gunsite press. Cooper conceived and designed the Bren Ten pistol around the 10mm Auto, based on the Czech CZ 75 design. Consequently Marty ter Weeme of Teppo Jutsu designed the .458 SOCOM cartridge in 2000 and Tony Rumore of Tromix was contracted to build the first .458 SOCOM rifle in February 2001. A key element of that endeavor is the Combat Triad. I had an old VHS Tape from years back that I have shared with all new shooters and family members. 4", "Compendium of Obituaries for Jeff Cooper", https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Modern_technique&oldid=994745333, Articles with failed verification from December 2016, Articles with unsourced statements from July 2012, Articles with unsourced statements from June 2008, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, Cooper's own work in conjunction with fellow Marine Howland G.

Jeff Cooper DVC By: Robert H. Boatman Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas. Many people incorrectly believe that the "Modern Technique" is nothing more than a particular shooting stance or a particular firearm. One of the terrorists removed a submachine gun from his bag of tools while another terrorist read a political statement to General Dozier. This is enough for the cognition to make an alignment. Several years before his death I interviewed him about the three shootings in which he was involved. , The following is from The Carry Book: Minnesota Edition, 2011:, The USMC uses "Condition Black," although it was not originally part of Cooper's color code. Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. With the flash sight picture, the front sight and a rapidly presented image of the target are used to align the pistol. Let there be no mistake about that. I know the term, combat shooter or combat leather, might be politically incorrect for some folks, but that is what I make. John Dean "Jeff" Cooper was recognized as the father of what is commonly known as the Modern Technique of handgun shooting, and one of the 20th century's foremost international experts on the use and history of small arms. . Combat means a fight between individuals or groups, therefore combat shooting, as defined by Jeff Cooper, is when you use a firearm in self defense or in the defense of others. A bullet striking the brain kills the assailant almost without exception. The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. , In 1976, Cooper founded the American Pistol Institute (API) in Paulden, Arizona (later the Gunsite Academy). This became known as the Thumper concept, inspiring the development of the .450 Bushmaster, .50 Beowulf and the .458 SOCOM, among other cartridges, all of them suitable for integration into preferably the AR-15/M16 rifle/M4 carbine or alternatively the AR-10/M14 rifle platforms. The Modern Technique of the Pistol.  The drill consists of three targets. The effect of a bullet striking the human body depends greatly on which organ is struck during penetration. 4, April, 2003, GG Vol. In the mid-1960s, he received a master's degree in history from the University of California, Riverside. Some Thoughts On Jeff Cooper and the Modern School . The Weaver Stance - The modern shooting stance used with the pistol is the "Weaver" stance. During World War II he served in the Pacific on the USS Pennsylvania. In May 1976 Jeff Cooper was present at the conference that founded the International Practical Shooting Confederation At one point, Mike turned a corner and was confronted by a terrorist carrying an AK47. They had three daughters. He eventually codified its combat application in what is known as the Modern Technique of the Pistol. Here the compressed, surprise break of the trigger is used to discharge the firearm. The problem is this: your combat mind-set is not dictated by the amount of danger to which you are exposed at the time. Point shooting is good out to three meters.

The list of weapons to be shipped, President Joe Biden said, includes 9,000 anti-armor systems, 7,000 small arms and 100 Tactical UAS
Earlier this week, the White House announced a new $800 million military support package for Ukraine on Wednesday in a bid to help them fight back against the ongoing Russian invasion. And part of that aid package includes cutting-edge aerial drones that experts say could prove exceedingly lethal to Russian forces.
The list of weapons to be shipped, President Joe Biden said, includes 9,000 anti-armor systems, 7,000 small arms and 100 Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems. A U.S. official later confirmed to ABC that the aerial systems to be sent would be small “Switchblade” drones.
Manufactured by AeroVironment, Inc., in California, the Switchblade drones come in two variations: the Switchblade 600 and the 300. The latter is built to hit at smaller and more precise targets while the 600 is built to strike armored vehicles and tanks.
The 300 is less than two-feet long and weighs 5.5 pounds and can fly up to 15 minutes. The larger drone weighs 50 pounds but can fly for 40 minutes over a range of 25 miles. Both drones can be carried in a backpack and deployed by individual soldiers. It has not been confirmed whether both models will be included in the shipment.
According to its manufacturer, the drones can cruise at around 65mph and come fitted with cameras and GPS systems. They are single-use, which means they explode after striking their target and are not recoverable after they have been launched. The Switchblades also have a “wave-off” feature so that operators can abort a mission if civilians appear near the target or if the enemy withdraws.

JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST, N.J.- —
U.S. Army and Air Force units performed an exercise loading 90 thousand pounds of M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems onto a C-17 Globemaster III, here, Dec. 13, 2018.
The 6th Airlift Squadron from Joint Base MDL and 3rd Battalion, 321st Field Artillery Regiment from Fort Bragg, North Carolina performed a joint mission exercise loading and downloading flight HIMARS, an air-transportable, U.S. Army rocket system capable of firing a variety of conventional precision-guided ballistic munitions at ranges up to 300 kilometers.
The HIMARS air transportability, coupled with the range of its munitions, is a powerful tool for destroying targets and is typically used for fire support during assault by initial entry forces.
The joint force exercise refined and refreshed tactics, techniques and procedures for the HIMARS Rapid Infiltration (HI-RAIN) mission. HI-RAIN missions effectively minimizes the amount of time the joint force is on the ground in a real-world scenario, reducing the aircraft
s and HIMARS exposure to threats.
“We are here to do some great training with the Air Force,” U.S. Army Spc. Gregory White, 3-321st Field Artillery Regiment. “It’s really going to expedite the process to deliver HI-RAIN missions in the future.”
During the HI-RAIN exercise, C-17 aircrew performed low-level flying maneuvers to simulate a more realistic tactical response. HI-RAIN’s provide commanders capabilities that increase freedom of maneuver to both air and ground units and enable total joint force readiness for global response to threats by extending the range of the HIMARS with C-17 joint forcible entry insertions.
“I credit the success of this exercises to Lt. Col. Kerley, 305th Operations Support Squadron commander, and the 3-321st Field Artillery,” said U.S. Army Capt. Seth Corrigan, 4th Battle Field Detachment (BCD), ground liaison officer. “For providing the resources, support and trust to execute training for both air and ground crews.”
Overall, the joint mission exercise went as planned and effectively prepared both the Army and the Air Force for a real world mission to transport and deploy the rocket systems as quickly as possible.
“We did pretty well and the Army met their time crunch,” said U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Larry Webster, 6th Airlift Squadron loadmaster. “That was the major objective for today, to get the Army their practice and showcasing the capabilities of the HIMARS and the C-17.”

– Caliber: Depending on how much money you have, the caliber of your rifle should cater to your needs. If you are just starting out with hunting or target shooting, then a .22 caliber is enough because it’s less expensive than other calibers like the .223 Remington. However if you want to shoot at longer ranges like 1,000 yards or more then it would be best for you to go with a larger.
Things to Consider When Buying a Rifle
Purchasing a rifle is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. When buying a rifle, there are many factors you should consider, some of which are cost, types of ammunition for use with the weapon, caliber of the gun and caliber size.

What are the Best Semi-Automatic Rifles
Semi-automatic rifles were first introduced to the military in the late 18th century. They were used by both regular infantry and cavalry. With this rifle, it only takes one pull of the trigger to fire a single bullet at a time. Semi-automatic rifles can be divided into three types:
Semi-automatic action – The weapon is capable of firing continuously as long as you hold down the trigger
Bolt action – The rifle has a bolt that is cocked back when not firing then you have to manually cock it each time before shooting
Gas or recoil operated – The rifle uses gas or recoil force to operate its action mechanism

Why You Should Trust Your Life to the Best Semi-Automatic Rifles
Semi-automatic rifles are heavily relied on for their accuracy. If you are looking for a reliable rifle to use, this is the best choice.
The semi-automatic rifles are more accurate than manual firing weapons due to their automatic nature, which means that the rifle only fires when the trigger is pulled. The semi auto also allows shooters to fire more shots in a shorter period of time.

That is to say, without false modesty, new orders are made for the construction of the most advanced and most powerful nuclear warheads in the Arctic-Project 22220 world class.


Black bear shot placement is a subject that doesn’t receive enough attention in my opinion. When it comes to bears, it’s not just as simple as put the crosshair behind the shoulder and pull the trigger.
Bears are notoriously tough and will take the lead a considerable distance 9 times out of 10. For this reason I prefer to try and catch a shoulder on the exit side of the animal. If you can enter through the lung or heart and exit through the shoulder, typically with one wheel out of commission he may not travel quite as far after the hit. I’m not quite as big a fan of hitting the entry shoulder, as I have seen several deflections off that heavy shoulder bone where the bullet never entered the vitals.


Weapons have always taken an important place in the life of humans. All the mankind uses different tools and weapons to make their work simple and to ensure their safety.

Evaluating the past, one can observe the development of various weapons and their use. Previously, mechanical weapons were developed but with the advancement of science, bullet using weapons life sniper rifle was invented and became the most used self-defense weapon in the army, police as well as paramilitary forces.

Laser weapons may soon debut aboard Russian air force jets. The Russian defense industry says that it is developing laser systems that pilots of its “sixth-generation” fighter jets could use to zap oncoming anti-aircraft missiles before they have a chance to strike their planes.
Missiles typically have internal targeting systems that use radar or heat-seeking sensors to lock in on their targets. The lasers would destroy these missiles’ targeting systems and render them unable to locate their targets.
“We are talking about developments in the field of powered lasers that will be able to physically destroy attacking missiles’ homing heads,” Vladimir Mikheyevm adviser to the First Deputy CEO of Radio-Electronic Technologies Group (KRET), told Russian state news agency TASS. “Roughly speaking, we’ll be able to burn out ‘the eyes’ of missiles that ‘look at us.’”
Russia is making efforts to upgrade its fighter-aircraft inventory in general. It is currently stocked with many Mig-31 jets that are 25 to 30 years old. “Sixth-generation” development plans—a generic term that means new jets that are in the conceptual development phase—include a new Mig-41 that might be its successor.
Lasers aren’t the only innovation that Russian engineers hope to outfit these new jets with: They are also working on radio-suppression systems to jam enemy surveillance, along with radio-photonic radar that can see farther than existing navigational systems.
These research efforts and others are facing competition from the United States military, which is also working on laser applications. U.S. Army engineers are experimenting with surface-to-air laser guns that could shoot down aerial drones and projectiles, but there is no projection yet on when this system will be ready for operation.
