It may be going Mach 10 when it enters the atmosphere
but it will have to slow down the lower it gets
any way.
If anyone gets worried about communist schemes just remind them that Joe McCarthy was an uncool doofus. Nobody wants to be am uncool doofus.
Can it scream pass laser beams.
NSA too busy monitoring citizens, gun owners and pro-lifers. Nothing to see or hear over there.
NASA too busy making Moose-Limbs feel better about themselves...
Let the buyer really, really beware.

Done while homObama was busy making queers in the military feel special.

We have now appeased Iran and are again ignoring an increasing threat in Asia and all the time decimating the US military. Just like in 1939, the stage is set for another world war.
“A portable, ground-based laser has successfully destroyed four rockets and zapped an unmanned aerial system in a series of tests designed to demonstrate the war-fighting technology, Lockheed Martin announced Tuesday.”

Airborne Laser program was killed by Gates in 2012. It had a range of about 180 miles — so it wasn’t effective against large countries like Russia and China. It would have cost $1.5 BILLION per plane which means the fly-off cost would have been $3 BILLION or more per copy. Each plane would use up its consumables after 6 - 10 shots and would have to refuel its ammo. A reload of the toxic chemicals used in the COIL Laser would fill two C-17 transport planes; midflight reprovisioning of ammo was a bit problematic.
Please provide more info on “our new lasers.” I’d love to hear about a program that solved all the ABL difficulties.
Also, for a while, there was concern that a bug-splat on the laser window would cause the plane to explode when the laser fired and the megawatts of energy would heat the window. I’m not sure how that was resolved (maybe an airborne squeegee man?).
The COIL laser.

Please read post #31
The only reason why I did all this research for you was to show you how long the US has been working with laser technology!
The US Navy just mounted a laser on their ship (2014) if you read the article I posted.
While the Chinese are building supersonic missiles to combat American missile defense systems, we are fielding lasers.
Free Trade paying dividends again. All hail gloBULLism, all hail the New World Oder.
I’m sorry post #29!

These laser weapons, which 3 of your posts are the same thing, won’t touch a warhead or a marv.
I did not read my post #29 did you? Here it is again!

Thanks..
China sees an opportunity as America continues to decline. Do you suppose that the threat from China is the reason our current administration bought 14 million doses of potassium iodate?
