Like Mike Tyson said “everyone’s got a plan until they get hit”

Not a smart thing to take on the US military

I did read that Russia has a 200 megaton nuclear missile positioned in the ocean to cause a wave of 1000 to 1500 ft that would go A thousand Miles inland when it hit the US.

Of course they would be annihilated but it is something that sounds quite difficult to defend against

Coming to a Starship near you.

Amazing. Star Wars is here, now, today.

only a five-year-old

Now, commies, tell me again about your little hypersonic missile thingy!

How does it stack up against zero to 186,000 miles per second in 0.0000001 seconds???

I would think that you’d need a lot of energy produced to destroy an aircraft. Granted,you could pack a lot of generators on a ship but you would probably be limited to short bursts. Maybe the way they’re destroying them is by making the onboard sensors inoperable. Also you’d have to be relatively close to the target. I’m not sure if the inverse square law of light applies to lasers. Maybe a photon torpedo would be better.

[RaceBannon]

how many lasers are they going to put on a ship to combat against 10 or 15 hyper-sonic missiles coming at a carrier?

[Flick Lives]

Finally. Frikin’ lasers.

Hi.

Did the article say when the 40 watt Plasma rifle will be available?

5.56mm

[Socon-Econ]

Nice bit of shooting. But what is our feminized, easy-life navy going to when a real enemy shoots back?

[Bringbackthedraft]

Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon would be proud. But wasn’t it Ming’s technology? Oh wait, Ming probably stole the research data from earth.

[ConservaTeen]

The USS Portland? If it was named for Portland, Oregon, leftists would be mad, if it was named for Portland, Maine, will the sailors have lobsters? Or maybe it was named for Portland, Connecticut and it is made from Brownstone...😀

Sounds cool...Star Wars is almost here ...

Significance is that even if small drones are not capable of carrying sufficient weapons, THEY can be used to scout out and designate targets for other larger weapons.

All american warships should eventually have such ‘bug lights’ to knock out all enemy drones anywhere near themselves.

Laser...

I am reminded of some Bond films...

Goldfinger...It was used to break into Fort Knox...

Man with the Golden Gun...Scaramanga used the laser to destroy Bond’s plane...

The Amphibious Warship USS Portland Has Shot Down A Drone With Its New High-Power Laser
The successful test of the powerful laser is a major step forward for the Navy's directed energy weapons ambitions.
