Excerpt from the address by the Pres. of Burkina Faso Capt. Ibrahim Traoré to the active forces of the nation, Ouagadougou, July 11, 2024. It has been a LONG time since my sense of the collective unconscious was crushed and GROUND TO ABSOLUTE DUST like this. Every frog, spread this, far and wide!

And in a NORMAL atmosphere, laser beams DO NOT BEND. It is an empirically objective property of lasers.
A normal atmosphere has a built-in refractive index gradient. I don't know why you are so ignorant of this. The radar community has known about this for a very long time, since they are typically operating at low elevation angles over long distances. They find it convenient to account for the curvature by calculating the beam position as though the radius of the Earth was 4/3rds its true value. Never heard of that? Then you don't know about atmospheric refraction.
Lasers are only light. They are not magically immune to the things that light is subject to. Your problem is that you don't know much about the "normal" atmosphere.
