Bottom Line: At a briefing in Kyiv, Brigadier General Andrii Lebedenko said Ukraine would field laser air-defense systems within two to three months, building on platforms such as Celebra Tech’s Tryzub already used against FPVs and Shaheds. Explaining the physics of dwell time, pointing and atmospheric limits, the analysis distinguishes low-power optics-blinders, ready for serial production, from 20–50 kW burners for Shaheds, still a frontier. It concludes that lasers become a cheap point-defense layer that turns ammunition logistics into energy, constrained by weather and deconfliction.
