As early as 2024, the much-loved Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II has been using a modernized 2.75-inch rocket system combined with laser guidance to shoot down drones in the Middle East. The War Zone initially reported on this system's development in 2019, and while it's unclear whether combat engagements began last year or the year before.
