Microwave. Laser. Why not both? Has someone made a coherent microwave transmitter? Seems doable, it is just a different wavelength than visible or near visible light. That would excite moisture in the air maybe creating a bit of a visible beam.

We have had MASERs longer than we've had LASERs. I still think that if these type of weapons are being used for this it would be from a high flying aircraft instead of some orbital platform. The size and payload capacity of Elon's starship may change that though. Send one up, maneuver over a target, fire, land again when needed. Shit is scary because that fucker ain't our guy but, he ain't theirs either. A wild card.
