Looks like they have successfully tested a laser weapon that can take down drones, small planes, small boats, and dazzle sensors.

Allies of the US need to beware!

'Friendly fire' often accounts for more of their casualties than those inflicted by the enemy.

Badly trained arsehol*s who shouldn't be allowed near anything more lethal than water pistols!

Scary. By proving it’s possible , it will stimulate other nations to match them.

Just imagine that technology 50 years in future probably have rifles and handguns that will use it.

Just need to perfect fusion energy.

God knows what they've got already. How long the face to face stuff that seems to me to have just come along ( no idea about technology) during the pandemic has been around, no idea.

If it all exists in 50 years time it will prove that mankind continues to refuse to learn anything , and continues on a path of self annihilation

Especially if it's in the hands of 'gung ho' American rednecks, citing their right to use it under The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution!!

I despair about how stupid some of them are.

It would also prove that we have mastered energy which would result in unlimited clean energy.

But as you say we would probably just use that to blow each other up anyway

End up with rednecks blowing themselves up rigging up loads of batteries as dont have the proper fusion cells

Bring up G12.... BOOOOM!

Cool. What does G13 do?


Reminded me of the Bill Hicks sketch:

Those guys were in Hog's heaven out there (the persian gulf Distraction") - They had a big weapons catalogue opened up :
"What's G12 do Tommy?"
"Says here it destroys everything but the fillings in their teeth.
Helps us pay for the war effort."
"Well ****, pull that up."
*makes a radio noise*
"Pull up G12 please."
*whoooooosh.....................
....
...
..
.
BOOM!*


"Cool! What does G13 do?"

If they've got these lasers big enough to take out drones and boats now, how long before they have one that can take out office blocks or even towns and cities?

F***ing class all this comes along while the orange buffoon and a busted settee run the show.

 

[BigPete]

I wonder if this laser could be tweaked to shoot down satellites too as that would be massive.

For warfare and for clearing space junk.

On a positive note, think of all the jobs building a death star will create
