Ground lasers unlikely to be effective at the balloon altitudes, and especially with atmospheric interference (eg. weather, moisture, etc). Airborne and/or space-based lasers are a different story and may work well when they're ready to be deployed. I believe the plan-based solutions are in trials.

- mik1998 4y agoI would be sincerely surprised if there were any treaties, since I don't think any space lasers have ever been used.
