The USS Gerald R Ford, which was recently deployed closer to Israel, will reportedly be transitioning to an advanced laser defense system.
The lasers, which travel at the speed of light, are able to burn holes through enemy assets like drones.
Firing a single laser beam costs between $1 and $10. For comparison, a defensive missile can cost between $1 million - $10 million.
The lasers, which were first tested in 2014, were introduced to combat China's latest hypersonic missiles.
The Navy will soon be testing the Hellcat, High Energy Laser Counter Anti-Ship Cruise Missile, a 300-kilowatt laser that would be able to counter a hypersonic weapon.
It is unclear if the aircraft carrier is currently equipped with one of the lower kilowatt laser systems.
Now that is how you do it. You send your ships into a battle zone and then you transition them to a new defense system while in theater.
The people running this shit show are either the most brainless fucks to ever run a military operation, or they are purposely creating a sitting duck. While you're at it, you also announce your plans to the world like complete idiot.
Can these lasers start wildfires like in Maui?
They will actively deploy these weapons while simultaneously telling us they don’t exist.
Classic disinformation psyop We are on to them but need to get the sheep to see it.
Was wondering the same thing 🤔
Ring ring ring...Acme? I’d like to order a few really big mirrors...yeah...big ones...
And some black paint...
Oh...toss in a few anvils.
Yeah. Thank you.
Will it be wearing a pink skirt this season?
The Empire Strikes Back. Next up: Light Sabers
I didn’t know that was an option on the Dodge Hellcat. It’ll look great sitting on the deck. I wonder what color they will pick?
they have lasers on satellites and airplanes for decades.......this is NEW TO THE PUBLIC
So they see an opportunity to show off?
