Sounds cool. I’ll bet they can equip the US Navy with those for around $130,000 per shot.
Meanwhile russia’s laser is used to annoy pilots when flying past.
Nice. Now give a few systems to Ukraine.
What is the performance in rainy and foggy conditions? I bet its garbage.
With the extra land Trump wants to throwing in for Vladimir Putin, people are rightfully calling it the „10% for the Big Guy“ plan. Best investment Putin even made was owning Trump
The Danish Navy will take a few of these please.
The laser is red? I would have expected a higher-energy color.
we are now in terminator
Could this be fitted to a modified Stryker IAV? That might make a huge difference when fighting the type of drones used in Ukraine.
Is that $13 worth of energy and items that need replaced each time it shoots (like a bullet). Or is that the cost of the equipment divided how many shots its expected to take over it’s lifetime?
But how much per shot is that in California?
I really hope it goes on HMS Dragon first…
Why does it cost $13 per shot? Is it just the cost of the power, or is something being expended?
They got friggin ships with lasers!?
Being that it’s classed at 50 kW… I wonder if it’s even possible to have one of these on a Plane to shoot down targets?
Get this to Ukraine immediately!
Israel should already have something like this. I support them.
anyone know if they have overcome the issues with clouds and such? I heard that these systems were good until the air that they are traveling thru becomes dense and blocks the laser, or at least hinders it.
Now I see why China is restricting rare earth exports
Just don’t share it with the US unless you wish Russia to have it 10 minutes later.
