Dude, what are you smoking? The lasers were to be fired from ORBIT! Atmospheric attenuation of energy plays a role here, which you repeatedly and conveniently keep ignoring and not responding to.

You are confusing multiple types of laser systems.

Unlike chemical laser info, I imagine most of the hard core x-ray laser info is still classified.

Still, just pondering the problem for a second or two, any decent physicist could tell you it probably wouldnt work. Or would only work under lab conditions, not in space,etc.

(hint: thats why the current system isnt a nuke driven x-ray laser)
