Ukraine showcases anti-drone laser cannon "Trizub," can it shoot down aircraft and missiles?

Ukraine showcased a laser cannon developed over several months, codenamed "Trizub," and demonstrated its effectiveness in striking static targets and fiber-optic kamikaze drones in the video.

However, this hand-made laser cannon appears very rudimentary and lacks an automatic tracking device and target search radar, relying entirely on the operator using a joystick for manual aiming.

Vadym Sukhalevskyi, commander of the Ukrainian drone forces, stated that this laser cannon is extremely powerful, capable of shooting down guided bombs, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and drones within a 3-kilometer range, and can shoot down fighter jets, helicopters, and reconnaissance drones within a 5-kilometer range.
