  The notable thing is that while Part 15 of the FCC rules ban radar jamming(sales, manufacture, possession, or use), there's no such federal regulation for lasers. Laser regulation is mostly limited to "pointer" devices and is the regulatory domain of the FDA.
  So there's no legal market for radio jammers but there's a broad one for laser jammers even if there's local regulations.
  This will probably change with automated vehicles relying heavily on LIDAR... I'm not sure they can survive an adversarial environment. They need cooperation.

  They just throw prisoners at the front lines and use them to probe Ukrainian defenses for strikes by Wagner's elite. >

  Wagner’s “new” elite.  Aka prisoners. >
  
  I wonder how similar that is to a radar detector you buy for a car, they also detect lasers. >
  
  Not sure how effective this is in the field.
  It is essentially an infra-red light detector. The IR beam coming from the laser targeting/aiming devices needs to hit the sensor arrays/windows. These are small and typically moving. >
  
  That's why laser detectors are useless on cars, and why cops use laser speed guns nowadays. All it does, at best, is tell you when you've already been dinged.
  Maybe they're a little more useful in a war zone, because being targeted doesn't mean you've been fired on yet. >
  
  You can jam the lasers, IR tools exist. Check out wired magazines new cannon ball run article from this week. >
  
  But not legal in every state
