Pakistan shoots down two Indian jets in Kashmir escalation

[Sarge]

The USA navy has deployable lasers that can cause a small boat to set on fire in seconds. Lasers have no issues with wind and move at the speed of light, which essentially means if something is in the crosshairs there is not defense currently from them.


In the future, such a laser which fires for less than a dollar a shot could be mounted into space satellite with further development. It would be scary but from a terrorist or rogue government's point, a virtual death ray that can strike at any time. How would any base be safe? Walk outside and your toast.

The Navy has one laser in development, the AN/SEQ-3 that is on the USS Ponce for testing. That's it. You are right though, laser development is moving along, starting to pick up steam. The problem is the power source. You need a hell of a power source to field a powerful laser. They are working on that. Should be fun in the not so distant future.

Why would we spend a hundred trillion dollars on a laser when everyone knows that it can be defeated by a mirror--- AOC
