What happened

The British armed forces have tested an advanced mobile energy system in Project Ealing, which uses radio waves to disrupt circuits and address drone threats. In addition, they are developing laser weapons by 2027, marking a significant advance in military technology. These weapons offer high accuracy of aim and minimal risk of collateral damage, operating with electricity rather than conventional ammunition. Project Ealing aims to disrupt multiple drones simultaneously using powerful RF transmissions, similar to the Epirus LEONIDAS system developed for the US Army.
