That would have to be one heII of a powerful laser to take down an armored aircraft/vehicle/whatever with as short a tot as that had on the drone. I wonder if the drone was particularly flammable. Admittedly the laser would be pretty high temp but I would think it would take a while to build up enough heat to set something "military" on fire like that drone.
