In a stunning live-fire demonstration, the Epirus Leonidas microwave weapon just took down 49 drones in a single shot. This isn't science fiction—it's a watershed moment for directed energy warfare. But how does it compare to powerful laser systems like the Apollo, which can take down hundreds of drones?

In this video, we break down the head-to-head between the microwave swarm-killer and the precision laser. We'll explain the core technology behind the Leonidas system, including its advanced Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductors, which enable it to disrupt drone electronics with a wide-area pulse. We'll also look at the Apollo high-energy laser and its ability to burn through targets one by one.

The real question isn't which weapon is "better," but how they will work together. We dive into why the US military is investing in both for a layered defense strategy, using microwaves for instant swarm defense and lasers for sustained, precision engagements.
