It is probably for TF-X.

Turkish Gendarmerie has replenished its arsenal with JARMOL (Gendarmerie Vehicle Mounted Laser Weapon System). The 5kw ARMOL Laser Weapon System integrated into Kirpi vehicle was combined with the ASELSAN İHTAR KARTAL-2 System.

İHTAR system consists of radars and cameras for threat detection, tracking and identification, electronic jamming and deception systems for threat prevention, and command and control systems that ensure the integrated operation of all these systems. Thus, the system was made capable of both detecting drones with multiple sensors and destroying targets with both electronic warfare and laser weapons.

JARMOL was successful in neutralizing drones and fixed-wing UAVs, which have become an important threat to military units, especially in operation areas, by shooting them down with laser fire during tests.

Our ALKA Guided Laser System plays an important role in protecting military bases and critical facilities against threats that are difficult to target!

ALKA, the only one in the Turkish Armed Forces inventory, successfully fulfills its duty as one of the backbone systems of our air defense with its ability to instantly destroy agile and fast drones!

These are very cute, but all these tests are conducted against targets that are either stationary or moving at around 10 km/h, while we see drones reaching speeds of 325 km/h in the Ukraine War. It’s only a matter of time before human interaction with drones is limited to target confirmation. AI will soon surpass human reflexes in battlefield.

Tests are usually are done in controlled environments. While I don't expect this test was made against a premier FPV operator's very high speed drone, more than likely it wasn't a single test either.

AI will soon surpass human reflexes in battlefield.

With a laser turret like this, you don't need human operators on the joystick operating it. I do agree that backpack anti uav systems are at a disadvantage.

What if you put such a weapon in all four corners?
If the UAV comes straight at you isnt it easier to target it?
A straight line,no?
