Firing a piece of munition that is worth many times the target is a win for the enemy even if you hit it, they can just keep lobbing Ali Express crap at you until you run out of missiles.
Genuinely curious: can they destroy large swarms of drones given the time to load?
Yeah, but the one top (Chad position) looks sexy as hell, while the one on the bottom looks like someone kitbashed it from sprue frames

Melt the mirror. Who the fuck does it think it is anyways, shiny things don’t belong in the sky.

SHORAD mounts a better mirror
The reflections make the laser grow in intensity between bounces (source: cartoons)
Eventually the laser burns through the shitty drone mirror, mission accomplished
Next thing you know it’s mirrors all the way down.
pew pew pew
