On the bigger social media site like this, we were discussing how high powered lasers could be used, for this, and for taking out drones.

The big drawback, is refractions of light can blind people, and the user of the laser would need special goggles that would cost more than the laser itself, and you can't trust welding goggles which are cheaper because mass production, because it's different wavelengths.

With the right lasers, we could disable satellites perhaps. Of course the US could probably fry you in doing so with their lasers from space, you better believe it.
