Greta Van Susteren reported that a Delta pilot enroute to Salt Lake City was lazed in the cockpit this last Wednesday. Only country I know that has that hardware (for lazing bomber pilots) was the Soviet Union. Pilot reportedly required medical treatment and this was not a minor injury (weak laser) wound. More will come out to tomorrow as this story hits the print press.
Yes, I'm funning' with you now because your arguments have been reduced to absolute absurdity and it's too hilarious to ignore. You absolutely CANNOT admit you're wrong on ANYTHING. You just keep setting YOURSELF up for it.
Suit yourself. I won't bug you anymore.
Uhhh, look at your units. Delusional and circular. Radio Shack, black helicopter crowd. See my previuos posts.
GOOD POST !!! I was going to post some info on it, but you beat me to it.
FAS is reputable. Jane's is good. Periscope is another, good 'un.
Laser and other directed energy weapons are here to stay. Does anyone remember that little test where we knocked an artillery shell out of the sky?? heheheh Looks like some FREEpers are about 20-30 years behind on their military technology studies. PAC3 may have to step aside for some new goodies....
I bet in 10 or 20 years, someone will discover the "breaking news" of the anti-sniper (detection) equipment already being made (and deployed overseas) by a company in Cambridge, MASS (BBN)...... I hear there will be all types of UAVs soon (yawn)... hehehehe
We can knock artillery shells out of the sky, piece of cake, BUT.. "It's all fun and games 'til someone loses an eye!!"
Once again, good post.
I'll check out the story. Sounds interesting.
Please pardon my spelling errors/typos...
I was in a hurry...
Interesting aside, my radar detector goes off whenever I pass by a large airport. Not for radar, but the laser detector alarm.
Yea, like 'sited' for cited. But you seem to do that in every post. But I'll play nice :-)
Interesting. That's the first I've heard of something like that but it doesn't surprise me.
You dig yourself deeper...
An attenuation factor of 0 is the ideal condition, not 1. Hence it is attenuation. Zero is the lowest possible attenuation.
The attenuation factor is tied to the unit length.
If the attenuation factor were in meter units, then you would calculated the overall attenuation on meter unit distances.
The referenced paper is using km units for the attenuation factor shown. Easily proven by calculating the 0.1 factor stated in reverse.
You've made a fool of yourself in public... Again...
Ya, I thought something look wrong with the "sited"...
I can admit my errors, can you?
We built a similar system.
???????
You're the only one I saw posting 1 was for clear air.
And it isn't.
It may be beyond a year ago, I come across so much material on this stuff. It COULD be the Russian "freighter" incident that other Freepers noted.
With so much attention being paid to WMD, WLD (what I call Weapons of Lesser Destruction) are not given the scrutiny they should. If I dig up the original article, I'll pass it along.
I think it was on www.military.com, but again, in this case I'm not sure of the source or even the exact date (my bad). This stuff gets to be one constant blur after awhile
