There are a number of effective targets in warfare for this weapon. A shot at the cockpit of any airborn craft might be effective, the warhead of a head seeking missile, or the heads of infantry as they advance. If it can hit the hood of a car from the air, its accuracy is possibly effective enough to deal a lot of damage to an enemy.
That’s right. And for certain aims, the system can simply go for a “functional kill” —to disable the sensitive electronics of some would-be, high-end platform. For many platforms, that means that it is out of the fight, for practical purposes. My preference obviously is to toast the living crap out of any muzzie crew, but to win a very fast-moving battle, this needn’t be the case.
Some observers here are not recalling the recent past —40 years ago technical experts who theorized about the eventual feasibility of SDI were denounced as nuts —such critics only needed to shout, “You can’t hit a bullet WITH A BULLET..!” and talk about missiles that would strike other missles would just STOP.
But now such missiles are a very common form of naval defense, and now even emerging continental defense.
