Military Uses Laser to Stop Border Drones | Amarillo News

U.S. military just shot down three cartel-linked drones near the southern border using a high-energy laser — a major tech win in the fight against drone spying and smuggling. Officials say these drones posed a direct threat to troops and border agents, marking a new front in border security. The laser system is part of a broader defense strategy, with U.S. forces now stationed at key border points alongside Mexican military partners. While it’s still unclear if the drones were over U.S. or Mexican soil, this move signals serious escalation in countering hostile surveillance — and a growing role for advanced tech in securing America’s southern frontier.
