Drone force commander Sukharevskyi did not offer any further details about the laser. However, experts told CNN the existence of the Tryzub was “feasible.”

Ukraine has deployed a new Tryzub "trident" laser and is only the fifth country to have a laser, possibly changing the way the Russia-Ukraine war is fought.

A top Ukrainian commander said the weapon is "real and operational" and also hailed a "breakthrough" innovation in Kyiv's drone capabilities.

According to the Ukrainian portal Defense Express, Ukrainians are testing a new laser weapon called Trident, which is equivalent to the British DragonFire system. The Ukrainian laser weapon Trident is currently being tested by the newly established unmanned systems forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
