The significance of this is actually much larger then this puts off. Laser weapons are not effected by the speed at which something is moving, the just need to be aimed correctly, and since the distance is large, something traveling 15 thousand mph becomes moving your lasers angle a degree a second. It also JUST happens that ICBM's reenter the atmosphere at over 15kmph... Development in weapons like these could very well bring a rebalancing of strategic power in the world. The only warhead delivery platform that would be effective, assuming the eventually master this, is a submarine (just as the Russians used to practice, pulling up to the coast, and effectively making it impossible to counter because of no advanced notice). On another front, it is actually possible to shoot down ICBM's but it is immensely expensive, thus why Russia and America agreed during the cold war to not build significant icbm counter measures. Effectively reversing what we have now, making the defense cheaper than offense (spamming warheads though MIRV's will no longer work). Exciting times.
Idk who exactly, but you sheeple better wake the f**k up because America is building FEMA Camps for all its people who won't just serve them like slaves. Then they wanna know all who has guns so they can take them away. This is starting to remind me of the Nazi times.
By using computer teams, hacking into Americas systems, and 'stealing' Terabites of data on Fighter Jet technology, weapons and communication technology ect. Y'know, Stealing?
billion or trillions of dollars on reasearch and development plus the years given to it. then china will just hacked and copy it. skiping the R&D, saving them time and money.
As an American, I believe it's my constitutional right to own a laser or a rail gun. In fact, here's hoping the government will fund a "everyone gets a railgun"-bill, so that I can protect me and my family from any battle ships breaking into our house.
all this fancy technology is great but i mean come on give me a break tony starks built one of if not the most sophisticated rockets in the history of mankind the Jupiter with a box of scraps !
The world powers are almost certainly going to get us all killed. So deep in the shit have they landed the human race, and so irretrievable from the depths of paranoia and delusion have they become, that there's very little that can be done besides getting the fuck off this planet; and it likely all started with a single lie, or a single asshole who thought he was god. I'd feel so sorry to leave behind our mother earth who treated us so well, but we almost don't have a choice but to leave at this point.
Just who exactly would we be using these on?

I bet China is looking forwards to easily stealing this like they have easily stole every other major weapons programme of the US.
then we gonna have a terrorist group shooting lasers at airplanes(cough under siege 2 cough)
