mineralman55 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I dunno. Is it for real? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngrBob Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) In watching the video the targets looked like the little Iranian boats that have been harassing US ships. Lasers don't leave any evidence, do they? Edited February 16, 2017 by EngrBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about frying the electronics of Sukhoi SU-24's when they do a flyby? Which they are doing a lot of lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Directed energy weapons will fry those out. IMO Trump should lay down the law and, the next time it happens that a SU-24 buzzes a U.S. Navy vessel, CIWS it into oblivion.
