Ok, you win. I forgot about those, probably because I don't spend as much time in space as a killer space robot. Near the ground they seem to be pumping the light links to the kira bots through a fiber line to avoid detection and jamming. But I don't actually know if a laser is required to go the distance. And really, why does it matter? I can't do anything about it.
It would help if you would explain what "kira bots" are. I know that some tactical drones unspool a great length of fiber optic line in order to be connected to their launch point for flight control.
If "go the distance" means communicate with a satellite, the answer is "no." But for reasons of data rate and security, the answer is "yes." But I'm not the one making the decisions.
Kira bot is my newly coined name for cheap military bots or drones made quickly from COTS parts and open source software. Kira is Killer in Manga Jinglish. Where are you going with this? GAW makes it difficult to track a conversation deeper than like 5 or 6 comments.
Laser beams are pretty oldschool. Even your wifi has Phased Array tech now. Starlink/Starshield/skynet uses it, and I bet this does too. Wow!

You should watch the animations at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased_array and update your systems, but first extrapolate from 2D to whatever D works for you.
Starlink v1.5 satellites have laser links. Lasers have higher data rates and lower beam spread. Less likely to be eavesdropped.
