    The Tech Ingredients YouTube channel just managed to make one of these, so surely there ought to be effective ones for military applications by now

      The article isn’t clear on the max range, but the tests seem to have been done at ~1 km, that’s doesn’t seem viable for military applications.

        Depends on the purpose. If it’s to take out suicide drones attacking vehicles, 1km gives it a good amount of lead time to track and fire at incoming drones. For longer range surveillance drones, probably not as effective

        No, I merely meant that if two dudes can build a working example in a garage, there’s no way that there aren’t some really beefy ones in an MoD weapons lab somewhere
