Laser Weapons Development Expands US, South Korea, Israel, UK

The horror film Weapons, directed by Zach Cregger, follows the mysterious disappearance of 17 elementary school children and unfolds through multiple perspectives, including the teacher Justine (Julia Garner) and a grieving father (Josh Brolin). The film blends dark comedy with tense, frightening sequences, and while some narrative elements lag, the overall viewing experience is engaging and entertaining, especially on the big screen. Critics highlight the film's effective use of multiple viewpoints and its exploration of community fallout after the event. In the realm of advanced weaponry, recent developments include the U.S. Army's reported successful use of combat lasers against drones, marking a potential turning point after decades of research. These laser weapons, integrated into systems like the M-SHORAD, represent a significant advancement in future warfare technology, with countries like Ukraine also exploring such innovations. Additionally, the concept of 'rods from god' kinetic weapons—orbital tungsten rods delivering devastating impact through sheer speed—is gaining attention for their theoretical potential to bypass traditional defenses, though practical deployment remains debated.
