Wow! Thanks for posting the pictures.

That thing is a lot bigger than I though it was.

I wonder if it could it take out an Iranian UAV in a dogfight?

You're quite welcome, and I'm delighted that you're finding the thread to be worthwhile :-)

It's a monster, isn't it? ;-) GO ISRAEL!

If it can't, I'll wager that one of our new laser cannons can

and there may come a day when the laser systems have been miniaturized to the point where they can be carried on aircraft such as this. Remember, the very first defibrillator put to use by the Seattle Fire Dept. in the 1970's required a truck to carry it. Now they are smaller than a suitcase and a petite lady can easily carry one. Miniaturization of technology can achieve amazing things, given adequate time.

In a dog fight, an Iranian UAV would be a pussy.
