Azerbaijan Produces Domestic Laser Weapon
Azerbaijani Ministry of Defence Industry company Azersilah produced Azerbaijan’s first indigenous laser weapon. The diverted energy weapon, “Fireforce”, was exhibited at ADEX.
The 900-kilogram weapon system, which can burn targets from one kilometre range away, was placed on a light armoured vehicle.
With a power output of 30 kilowatts, the weapon was designed to burn land, air and naval targets.
Valeh Arifzade, the designer of laser weapons, stated that Fireforce is more compact than its competitors. Arifzade said, “Laser weapons are generally affected by moisture, dust and steam, and they lose power. Our weapon does not have such a problem. It currently has an effective range of one kilometre, but we plan to increase it to ten. We will improve our weapons over time. It is completely domestically produced. We prepared all its parts ourselves. The patent also belongs to our state.”
