TL;DR

The US has included 10 mobile c-UAS laser-guided rocket systems in its latest military aid package to Ukraine, worth around $2.6 billion, to counter ongoing Russian drone attacks. The c-UAS laser-guided rocket systems will enable Ukraine to fire precision rockets from mobile positions and will form part of a layered defense against drones.
