America making sure they are ready for
ISIS drones

[A laser weapon tested for four months by the US Navy can blast drones out of the sky in seconds.
The $40m (£25.5m) laser weapon was fully integrated into systems aboard the USS Ponce at the end of summer, and new footage shows it blasting a drone out of the sky in just a couple of seconds.
The video also shows the 30-kilowatt laser targeting a rocket-propelled grenade on a distant attack boat, causing it to detonate.]
