I heard that US air defenses destroyed Iranian drones using a LiquidMetal Laser cannon placed in a high orbit. The super-secret project included a NDA that prevents revenue reporting.

The cannon utilizes a variation of the “bouncing ball technology” to enhance the power level of the laser by several orders of magnitude. The technology uses a slight variation of a laser presentation pointer to achieve the initial beam which is enhanced by “amorphous mirrors” to cut through objects in 2-3 seconds.
