Target areas for air-to-ground testing would be limited to five acres in size and there would be no more than 100 acres total designated for such use, the draft environmental assessment said.

Now if only they would call it a titmouse then they could have 1400 acres for testing.

We already have the space lasers, so with these planes in addition, we are going to be even better.

So in a few years America's premier interceptor could be a 747.

Cool but not sure I want to be on board when they do a victory roll after a kill...

I remember all the leftist academic sneers when Reagan announced research into the so-called "Star Wars" initiative. It was a waste of time, a waste of money, it would never work, ad nauseum.
Now, we have a laser defense which is overly large but workable. As with all developments, miniaturization will come next until a system will be fitted into a much smaller aircraft with even smaller, short range systems fitted into air to air combat planes.
That Reagan, what a fool!
