I mean, we've had that for a long time.
In 1994 N.G.Basov, answering a question about the results of the Terra-3 laser programme, said: "Well, we have firmly established that nobody can shoot down a ballistic missile warhead with a laser beam, and we have made great advances in lasers...". In the late 1990s, all work on Terra-3 ceased.

If I'm not mistaken, they refused even earlier, precisely because of problems with pointing accuracy. Although the power was already much greater than the currently shown "analogues".
I understand that the USA does not have accurate guidance even today, and we did not have it at that time and it is not known if it had not been frozen. What is on the video for small targets with low relative speeds and weak maneuverability indicators may do, but it is of no use.
Although I am inclined to think that Basov made the right conclusions, namely to give up lasers as an air defense tool and to deal separately with the lasers themselves.
This is because the guidance system will most likely not be achievable in the near future for a laser in terms of deflecting high velocity targets. The missile adjusts to the target already independent of the launch point, in the air, while the laser is "stationary" from the launch point. The laser needs to have such a short time to reach the target, during which no critical target movement will occur, as the guidance system will simply not have enough time. Or, the laser itself could be mounted on the aircraft (like a missile with variable trajectory), but then the aircraft with the laser on board must also have very small dimensions with enormous speed and maneuverability. Which is also nonsense, since the laser itself is already as big as an LA.
Not to mention the super sound, it's not going to take it. No, well, if it's fighting with fishing boats, then yes, well done the masterminds of democracy)))))
OK, let's not talk about bad things on a holiday.
Happy Soviet Army Victory over the Nazis!!! Events that must not be forgotten or allowed to be twisted.
Don't be taken in by accusations of propaganda, feel free to wear St. George's ribbons, including on your avatars. Historical memory needs this now more than ever in the last decade.

The escort and guidance system is not a problem and has been implemented for a long time. The problem is that a pulse of tens of megajoules dissipates into the atmosphere to a harmless puff at a distance of only a dozen kilometres, and is not capable of burning through even a thin aluminum aeroplane hull, much less the heat shield of a nuclear ICBM. And the wavelength is tailored to the range with the lowest atmospheric absorption. For space, that's where it is.
Where it is implemented for the laser version and not the rocket version.
Exactly what the problem is. Experiments with large airborne objects have been around for a long time and have been shot down. Smaller experiments are on the video, tell them about scattering. The lasers with a range of 10 thous. km were not mentioned, air defense weapons, not intercontinental. Lasers were designed as a defensive weapon. You probably did not read the post...

Please... Is it easier to point a laser that will reach the target instantly, or to point a missile and calculate the target trajectory and the missile itself? And you have to fly the radar all the way to the target before the missile arrives...
The problem is precisely the nature of the light beam's path through the atmosphere, and combat applications in mobile platforms require power that is, as yet, unattainable at our current level of scientific advancement.

Actually, you were just watching a Star Wars feature film.
Please... Is it easier to aim a laser that reaches its target instantly, or to aim a missile and calculate the target trajectory and missile itself? And then there's the radar that accompanies the target all the way until the missile reaches it...
