"Drone incursions over Copenhagen airport are exactly the kind of use case $IPGP is targeting. They debuted their mini system at DSEI UK in front of leading European defence primes who must now be getting calls about countering Russian drone activity. Because $IPGP is a laser veteran they have the manufacturing capabilities to be quick and affordable. Caveat is its not a pure play like $LASR or $EOS.ax - many other things can drive the stock. But thats also why it potentially offers more value as the market is yet to view it as defence. Can $IPGP be a serious defence player They seem to be"
