👉 Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs), often referred to as "did missiles," are a category of weapons that use concentrated forms of energy, such as lasers or microwaves, to target and destroy enemy assets. These systems offer several advantages over traditional kinetic weapons, including higher precision, reduced collateral damage, and the ability to engage multiple targets simultaneously. Directed energy weapons can be particularly effective in air-to-air combat, anti-satellite operations, and even against ground targets. Despite their potential, challenges such as high costs, technological limitations, and the need for line-of-sight operation persist.
