Russia isn’t saying much about its laser programs except to say they are being developed at the same level as other countries developing them. Both the United States and USSR started looking at using optical quantum generator-lasers in the 1960s. If it is similar to today’s U.S. laser weapons systems, that includes its 30-kilowatt weapon that uses a solid-state laser and can hit small flying objects at short and medium distances.
