Interesting stuff on the Soviet program of studies of high-energy lasers for missile defense, "Terra-3 'and built on the Sary-Shagan test range of scientific and experimental laser-firing anti-missile complex 5N76" Terra-3' with a laser locator 5N27.
"Experimental laser battle complex 5N76" Terra-3 'consisted of construction of 41/42V (south building, sometimes called "the 41st floor") which was placed the command-click computer-based calculators three M-600, accurate laser radar 5N27 - analogue experimental laser radar LE-1 / 5N26, data transmission system, timing system, the system spetstehnicheskogo equipment, communications, alarm systems. Test work on this building held the 5th Division 3rd test facility (Head of Col. IV Nikulin). However, in complex 5N76 bottleneck has been lagging in the development of powerful spetsgeneratora for the implementation of the technical characteristics of the complex. It was decided to establish an experimental module of the generator with the achieved performance for practicing martial algorithm. We had not far from the facilities built for 41/42V this module structure 6A (south-north building, sometimes called the "Terra 2"). spetsgeneratora problem was never resolved. construction for military laser was built north of the "area 41", it led to a tunnel with communications and data transmission system, but installation Laser Combat is not implemented.
Experienced landfill laser system consisted of actual lasers (ruby - an array of 19 ruby lasers and CO2 laser), the guidance system and keep the beam, the information system designed to ensure that the guidance system, as well as high-precision laser radar 5N27, designed for precise positioning purpose. Features 5N27 allowed not only to determine distance to the target, but to get the exact characteristics of its trajectory, the form of an object, its size (noncoordinate information). With 5N27 were observing space objects. The complex was tested for effects of radiation on the target, aiming the laser beam on the target. With the help of the complex were carried out research on induced by low-power laser beam on the target and the aerodynamic study of the propagation of the laser beam in the atmosphere.
In the mid-1980s, were tested laser weapons, which also included shooting at targets - targets aerodynamic and ballistic missiles, mounted on special stands that mimic the different stages of rocket flight. Thus it became clear what energy must be the ray to hit the target. These experiments have shown that the parameters of the laser beam capable of destroying ballistic missile warhead, can not be implemented on a set of "Terra-3 '.
Installation was not commissioned and in full, did not work, did not solve the problems of combat. Construction of the complex was not fully completed - was installed in the full guidance system were mounted auxiliary laser radar guidance system and the power of the beam simulator. By 1989, work began on the subject of laser clot ... "

In 1994 Basov, when asked about the outcome of the laser program," Terra-3 ', said: "Well, we have firmly established that no one can shoot down ballistic warhead with a laser beam, and we moved the laser cool ...."
