Lasers that shoot down missiles from space can also shoot down laser satellites in space. Lasers on the ground can be larger and more energetic, but do have to shoot through atmosphere. The article seems to talk about strategic hypersonic but I’ve mostly read about them for attacking ships and bases that are likely to have defenses. Ground point defenses might be cheaper than space constellation. I think lasers have potential to change warfare. For example, naval warfare gets really weird if lasers can shoot down missiles and maybe even shells. Do they use torpedos?
