especially the space based joo dews
Reminds me of Juju Bees... a really shitty candy that tasted like shampoo back in the early 80's.

Not sure of the increased lethality of air platform type laser weapons. How was that building more destroyed than if one dropped a JDAM on it. How is a fire started by a airplane based laser weapon less hot than one started with Incendiary bombs.
Now, space based DEWs is another story. Airplanes, whether housing lasers, or carrying bombs can be tracked, shot down. Space based DEWs masquerading as communications satellites, can be tracked and probably are, and they cam be destroyed by only a handful of countries.
If we start seeing space based weapons, I think we will quickly kick off a Kessler syndrome scenario. And in fact without any effective way to clean up the proliferation of space junk, my create an artificial barrier that limits, or raise, the risk, complexity of future space exploration.
Kessler syndrome
The advantage of a practical laser weapon is not only the ability to strike a target the size of a one-pound coin at a range of a kilometer (0.6 miles), but with a shot that travels at the speed of light.
I'm convinced that this is how crop circles are made. Why they are made is a different question, probably as a calibration test.
Nobody said Dragonfire was space based.
I have to remove this.
Don't take your eyes off the arson and the reason for it.
What do you mean? Sensible Directed Energy theory advocates don't believe they are space based. That's the cnn and GAW talking point to make us look silly.
It's impossible that humans have developed this technology in spite of government documents making claims about using directed energy! Absolute lies! It's men with gas cans. End of story.
Erm. The first part certainly does not imply the second part. He is in no way qualified to discuss this subject IMO. Oh, but he writes so convincingly!. Yah.
Also there is the name of this blog, which is slightly confusing, because there is a youtuber who uses that name: https://www.youtube.com/@TheNewAtlas is qualified to talk about Military Math, as he has a Master's degree via the Military, and he will prolly tell us that this is a classic example of a wunderwaffen.
Whatever the magic (((Science))) is, it will emit radiation. Such weapons are very easy to find by radiation-seeking missiles. ONE missile, to be exact. Use the space-lazer once, and Poof, it's gone.
Mind you this does not exclude having a test-run in say: Hawaii, where no-one is aiming to shoot it out of the sky, 'cos natural disaster.
