🇺🇸 THE U.S. NAVY HAS A LASER GUN - AND IT MELTS THINGS

The Navy’s Laser Weapon System (LaWS) is real, operational, and already zapped drones out of the sky and cooked boat engines in the Persian Gulf.

XX kilowatts of precision energy. Targets lock, sensors track, and metal melts in seconds.

Tested on the USS Ponce. Confirmed by the Pentagon.

And LaWS? That’s just the tutorial level.

Next-gen systems like HELIOS are stronger, AI-guided, and getting bolted onto U.S. destroyers right now.

Laser cannons. Not in a lab. Not in a video game.
In the fleet.
