Great video. That thing even takes out artillery shells. Youtube can be a great resource but it seems to have a high number of mental defectives populating the comments section.

From the comments:

damianstone (6 hours ago)

How many people went without health insurance for the cost of developing this? How many senior citizens weren't able to afford medications because of this and other forms of military waste?

God what an idiot. And this person would probably profess that he/she/it 'supports' the troops.

Y'know, we COULD paint a set of gills and some teeth on the Airborne Laser aircraft, kinda like the "Shamu" livery on some of the Southwest Airline jets...


Hehehehe...

These are obviously the comments of those weaned on the breasts of socialists nanny state doctrine where the military is almost banned and all military projects are lower priority than getting new parking meters.

Show me any other country (besides Israel) that boasts great military technology like this!

Yes, it's impressive
but I am afraid if cats
fly in low enough

they will stay below
the weapon's horizon till
they're on top of troops . . .

Looks like clear skies to me. Wonder how well it works through obscurants such as battlefield smoke, clouds, etc.

Cat defense is easy.

1) Put a little butter on the end of your rifle.
2) Say "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty".
3) While the cat is licking the butter, pull the trigger.

Works every time.

I saw a brief documentary on this with much of the same footage. There has to be more to this, otherwise it would be deployed everywhere.
