Data claims here that the ABL (that's air farce lingo for "air borne laser") can shoot down ballistic missiles from a range of 150 Km.
It did no such thing. The "authoritative links" that Data posted was nothing more than Air Farce/Boeing marketing BS. Since then we ave been waiting for the ominous August testing. And here we are
So this is the thread where we can post the lolerlaserplane test results. I am looking for FACTUAL DATA not claims, not cool air farce jargon. I can provide all of that here:
Laser Jet Zaps Animated Missiles, Spouts Jargon
enjoy some CGI. And a healthy heap of jargon, with phrases like, "through Link 16 network-centric communication
and the C2BMC system, ABL notifies the rest of the BMDS system."
So let's list the lolerlaserplane facts. Hopefully this time, as opposed to the ground based (lmao) test of last April, that this time the plane will actually destroy a missile, traveling at least mach 6 from a distance greater than 10 Km (although the specs call for a 150 Km range).
Please post test results below. Thank you
