Xbox controllers can operate these weapons: US deploys high-energy systems in Strait of Hormuz to counter drones & missiles

Xbox-style controllers to operate laser weapons: US military is deploying high-energy laser weapons in the Strait of Hormuz to counter drones and other aerial threats, with soldiers reportedly operating the systems using reconfigured Xbox-style controllers, according to The New York Post. The systems use concentrated beams of energy to disable or destroy targets and could reduce reliance on conventional missiles, although their effectiveness can be affected by weather, power requirements and multiple-drone attacks.
