These lasers will not be ready until Lockheed Martin can figure out how to turn a $5 laser into a $2 million laser
This tech is not ready for prime time. That salesman avoids the real questions.
Why is that pentagon person so loud?
'We want sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads...' 🤣🤣🤣
Never trust a “professional” in a Patagonia vest
For $8 million, you can find anti-drone weapon systems that are far more effective and use inexpensive ammunition
We were told a lot. We saw nothing except frying a ninidrone in 30 feet range.
The laser technology for weapons has been developed for a long time. If it’s proven effective, they could have been used already. The gentleman didn’t tell everything about the laser, it wouldn’t damage the commercial aircraft, but it could blind the pilots.
a modern laser can hit one 3 kg toy at a 200m range in perfect weather conditions. Get 10 toys and the laser is dead
Perhaps, the reason why US entered this new war without a weapon laser is that no effective weapon laser exists? Why should Pentagon guys be less smart than a 60 minute viewer?
