(Laser engravers are especially bad about this with very irresponsible advertising.)
don’t really need these to take down drones you could just melt ICE directly with infrared lasers can’t you? ICE really doesn’t like getting hit with lasers on their little icey clothes and their little icey eyeballs.
Fiber optic drones go brrrrrrrrrrrrr

All I’m hearing is that I might be able to score something dangerously powerful that’s possibly underlabeled which could melt some ice.
