> Weapons in space are very expensive

No, they just took a normal weapon and mounted it.

> dangerous. And they can be easily destroyed

Literally all mounted weapons can be described like this.

> Currently there are no serious weapons that can be useful in space.

Absolutely incorrect. The US has deployed laser-based weapons since the early 2000s. Used for missile defense mostly. As you can imagine, they perform well in the vacuum of space.

Can you provide an example of a laser weapon(s) that can actually shoot down ballistic missile or cruise missile in real life scenario? The best that current laser weapons can do is to shoot down drones from relatively close distance. [1]

Another issue with laser weapons in the space is powering them and maintaining them.
