Russia and China are no match for the American military alone--not including the UK. The United States never needed to produce more, nor more powerful nuclear warheads than the Russians, because America has MIRVs that can go through an individual window of the Kremlin in just 8 minutes at anytime, 24/7. This is because the US has placed 95% of its ICBMs on Ohio Class "Boomer" intercontinental missile carrying submarines. In addition, the US also has nuclear warheads on sea launched Tomahawk cruise missiles also pointed at Russia and within just minutes of their strategic target 24/7. Moscow is always in the crosshairs of these boats. Putin is well aware of his feeble military in the face of what the US has. Add to that what Great Britain has and WWIII will be over in just 40-minutes and not 4-years like last time. Putin also is smelling the coffee right along with the blood and entrails of his KIA Orc soldiers that number half-million dead by now. Russian tanks are the laughing stocks of the entire world, along with Russia's Olympic Medals in the turret toss competitions.

This will save an absolute fortune. Given the cost of interceptor ballistics it is a great tool. A defence system to complement something like the iron dome would take away the economic attrition from defence rendering traditional ballistic attacks useless. I can imagine pairing this with AI and power systems to make a rapid fire array that will revolutionise defence. This could spell the end for traditional attacks in the future. Rogue states with large ballistic capabilities and drones could be almost laughable. A very effective defensive capability that is unlikely to cause any harm whatsoever. This is fantastic news. As a Brit it is a boost to see us leading in this area after successive governments have failed to invest in defence for so long now.
@@ryancapewell6504 why did you send such a message? what you are saying makes no sense and has nothing to do with the cost. what are you talking about? war in ukraine? what does the cost effectiveness of an effector with that? laser shots are cheaper than missiles, and drones aren't worth the cost of a missile.
They must have wasted millions developing that rubbish ....It reminds me of the Germans in World War 2 when they developed the Schwerer Gustav the railway gun which was only fired 47 times before it wore the barrel out....
In WWII Britain developed all kinds of crazy weapons that became the laughing stock of American generals. Then came the anti-mine flail tank. One of the main reasons why British losses on D-Day were so much lower than American losses.

For anyone that retorted that the foil to this weapon is a mirror, I hate to break it to you, but high power lasers can punch through mirrors. No mirror reflects 100% of all light, it'll be in the high 99th percentile typically, but with a laser that has enough power, you can use the minimal percentage that doesn't get reflected to burn through whatever reflective material is used, be it aluminium, etc. Do you really think that they'd R&D something like this only to fall at such an obvious hurdle? So no, we aren't seeing actual 'glitter bombs' as a countermeasure to this, ever.
The beam is focused down to the size of a pound coin... that is what creates the heat that shoots down an object. The developer didn't say that it can detect & shoot down an object the size of a pount coin.
And UK can't even launch Tridents from submarines. The percentage spent by Britain on defence has dropped rather than risen over recent years, from 2.14% in 2014 to an estimated 2.07% in 2023. The results can be seen, even with warships which always have problems. Luckily it has... lasers! 🙃
It won't spare even Hypersonic Missiles too as this DragonFire laser works at the velocity of the light💥 But key is to calibrate it with much more accuracy & much more energy
Mirror don't reflect all the light power in a first time and the angle to reflex exactly in the laser canon need to be "pixel perfert" it's impossible to predicte it and it's impossible to react because the velocity of the shot is to hight (sorry for my approximativ english)
Blue buildings not on fire What's up with the Maui fire conspiracies regarding the few blue umbrellas and the blue car not burning? and: CLAIM: A video of a laser beam starting an explosion at a gas station in Russia is an example of a directed-energy weapon in action.

Decades ago, during an A-level Physics class, I once commented that superconductors might play a role in battlefield laser weapons in future. "Ha-ha-ha! Battlefield laser weapons.

Matur Suksma, as we say in Bali.
@@BootneckAlphaKilo Modern drones are capable of carrying fairly heavy weapons, so I don't think this is a big problem. However, painting them with a reflective substance makes them more visible during the day, which is why Russia has painted its drones black for night attacks, making them harder to spot.
140 million to 10 pounds but need a fleet sized ship to have the energy to fire it well if it costs just 10 pounds then surely any elec meter in uk can fire this, logic deficit overload
These lasers will only get better ane become hugely valuable in the evolving threat of hypersonic nuclear missiles. If you were to attatch this laser to AI whicu can think anticipate enemy movements actions 10 seconds faster than a human, very real problem for the enemy to deal with.
quite a bit different than teslas this one is just for defense, that one was quite literally called a death ray that obliterated anything in its way LOL
We would never know what weapons the brits and Americans really have unless war breaks out

what countries else have laser guns like this?
israel of course.
USA probably has some in development too
Well if the mirror can take it, so can the drain. Made of what metal and wax?
140m is actually pretty cheap
Indeed.
Would it be able to take down hypersonic missiles?
I've wondered this. I don't think it would have to stay on it long enough to detonate, the heat would likely destabilize its trajectory.
Uses heat to destroy/damage targets. Missile casings generally are metal designed to resist high temperatures.
When your weapon is traveling at the speed of light a hypersonic missile wouldn't have a chance.
@@edwardpetersen3437 it would be cool to see it compared to a shaped charge.

Imagine a mirror coated drone reflecting the laser back to its source :-))))))))))))))

What is your fear? Are you worried that it's going to hit the moon or something?
Nice. So if we’re attacked by a single one pound coin, we’ll be fine.
Just wondering. What if it hits a mirror?
Even the best mirrors only reflect a portion of light
Trying to reflect a military laser would almost immediately burn it out
Would probably just melt
Seven years bad luck.
So make the toys you don’t want to loose with a chrome mirror finish. Defeated.

90% of a lasers light can be reflected at the absolute most, so even a reflecting drone wouldn’t survive very long.

what would covering an attack weapon with reflective material do to its radar profile?
140m pounds? Are these parts delivered by AliExpress???
looks like its hard to pinpoint the location of the laser.. xD
Its not visible to the naked eye, so for enemies to see this laser they will need the capabilities on drones,ships etc.
They need to get these to Ukraine ASAP, since Ukraine uses a lot of air defense missiles daily.
Even to this day Tesla is still pushing us forward.
Lasers heat up. How long between shots?
And how long from point of impact to detonation of missile etc
