Ukraine has reportedly developed a laser anti-aircraft weapon named “Tryzub,” according to Colonel Vadym Sukharevskyi. The system, allegedly used against Iranian-made Shahed drones, was first mentioned in December and confirmed operational in February.

Industry experts believe Tryzub may be an indigenous development, given Ukraine’s expanding military-industrial base. If confirmed, Ukraine would join a select group of nations deploying laser-based air defense technology.
