	<htmltext>What you forgot to account for is that Russia can detect incoming missiles and launch a counter strike before any of the missiles detonate, this counter strike would overwhelm a missile defense system and MAD would still happen, if this wasn't true MAD wouldn't happen because who ever shoots first wins.  The Defense system would work well if lets say Cuba was given a few nukes (it would take less then 10min to hit DC) so disabling the nukes may be the only option.  With Crazy People in charge of countries with Nukes I'm glad money was invested in finding ways to protect against dictators who think of nukes as bargaining chips.</htmltext>

	<htmltext><p><div class="quote"><p>No concievable missile shield could shoot down any significant number of incoming missiles. The Russians would always be able to overwhelm the defenses with shear numbers, making the system worthless.</p></div><p>

Even if that's true, it makes the system worthless only if your sole benchmark is "does it make us invulnerable to any hostile ICBM force, no matter how large?" But that isn't the only goal. First, there is a defense against a limited strike from a less-powerful adversary. Second, it makes it much, much more difficult to wipe out our ICBM force in a surprise attack and thus remain safe from retaliation. The odds of a given target surviving do not scale linearly with the number of attacking missiles. Consider (using round numbers for simplicity) that we have 1000 ICBMs, and a defense system with a 50/50 chance of shooting down an incoming missile.
</p><ul>
<li>Prior to having the defense, an enemy surprise attack can destroy our force on the ground using 1000 missiles (leaving aside factors like mechanical failure).</li>
<li>After we put in the defense, such an attack would destroy only 500 of our missiles, leaving us with 500 to retaliate with, far more than enough for a devastating return strike, given that we wouldn't need to bother attacking now-empty silos.</li>
<li>Suppose that the enemy decides to use twice as many missiles. That means that the odds of any given one of ours surviving is 0.5^2, or 25\%. They attack with 2000 missiles. 250 of ours survive, still too much for any country to absorb and continue to effectively exist.</li>
<li>They decide to use three times as many. 0.5^3 = 12.5\%, so 125 of ours survive to strike back. Still enough to wipe out a majority of the biggest country's military. If this were Russia we were talking about, their reward for destroying our ICBM force would probably be getting conquered by China.</li>
<li>4000 missiles are used. 0.5^4 = 6.25\%. Losing 62 major military/industrial assets at once probably wouldn't eliminate a Russia-sized country as a cohesive entity, but they're not going to be invading anyone for a long time, and they're going to have chunks of their territory gobbled up by their neighbors. If they consider getting hit by 50 acceptable, they need to attack with 4322. Down to 10, they need 6643. To get it below 0.5 (i.e. to have the odds favor getting off unscathed) they need 10,965.</li>
<li>That's just against a poorly-performing defense. Suppose we have a 90\% intercept rate. They need to attack with 28,433 (instead of 4322) missiles to get keep their losses below 50 targets. If we get it to 99\%, they need 298,072.</li>
</ul><p>
To sum up after all the numbers: against even a minimally-effective missile defense, it becomes extremely costly for an attacker to field a force big enough for him to strike <i>and wind up in a better strategic position than he started with</i>, which is the whole point of attacking in the first place. As the defense becomes more effective, doing so becomes well-nigh impossible.</p></div>

Uh, yeah. But you probably need a plane to airlift the truck where it needs to go and, once you know where it is on the ground, it's a lot easier to avoid, thereby rendering the fancy laser kinda pointless.

If the range is = a 25mm chain gun , this system has little value yet , as if you can find it and track it , a turreted chain gun is already very deadly , the ballistics models are n't that hard to compute .
But those weapons are also very easy to fly above.If this laser has a range of , say , 8 miles ( 40,000-ish feet ) , then things could get interesting .
Data that would also be important is how long the laser needs to stay on target , and how small the beam is .
If the beam is 1 " wide , and must stay on the same spot for 1/2 a second , it could be defeated by old-fashioned 'jinking ' which would move the beam around and diffuse the heat .
But if it 's 1/100 second , then again , it 's really deadly.Finally ( and then I 'm done ) , this laser is really cool , but must be guided by something... at 40,000 feet ( or at night ) , you 'll need something better than a Mk 1 eyeball to find and track the target accurately enough , just like you do today , and that 's where countermeasures could be applied.But a really good EO/IR guidance system that can find/track targets up to 40,000 feet on a clear day at night and a laser that can kill in 1/100 " second ( or close ) , and you 've got a game-changing technology , forcing aircraft to hope for cloudy days .</tokentext>
<sentencetext>A couple comments here are focusing on stealth, that's not the big question.There is not a single US Gen 2+ stealth aircraft engaged in Iraq/Afghanistan.
F-117s have been retired, B-2 are not needed.
The aircraft over there are relying on a variety of other IR countermeasures (tactics/flares/directed IR) to defeat threats.TFA is talking about shooting down UAVs, which pose a unique problem because they are very small and can be made out of low-tech composite stealth materials like frickin balsa wood.
That, combined with a naturally low IR signature because of their low performance envelope, make it hard to target then with traditional guided weapons (IR and Radar guided).The key question, which TFA avoided giving details about, is what range they are talking about.

	<htmltext>This can be a very dangerous weapon if 'the enemy' has mirrors all over their targets that reflect this laser. The invention would be similar to the NASA ballpoint pen if normal mirrors can reflect this laser beam to a non-negligible degree. <br>
<br>
Secondly, How do you avoid innocent/friendly fire to those in the line of sight of the laser? Say, there's a village right behind the enemy unit you're targeting with this weapon and the enemy unit is moving faster than you can focus on it. 'Shooting' the laser willy-nilly can really fuck up the village. I guess that wouldn't be a problem if its used in Iraq and Afghanistan since the US army makes it a sport of killing so called Hadjis (thank you Jonny Quest) whether they be innocent or otherwise. In Iraq, it would fit with the drone quad quite naturally.<br>
Still, very dangerous for all involved. <br>

One potential use I see for this weapon (once it is miniaturized to gun size) would be as the ultimate Railgun. Imagine Quake 3 in real life. Running that fast would probably make me dizzy, though.</htmltext>
<tokenext>This can be a very dangerous weapon if 'the enemy ' has mirrors all over their targets that reflect this laser .
The invention would be similar to the NASA ballpoint pen if normal mirrors can reflect this laser beam to a non-negligible degree .

	<htmltext>Maybe.  Chemical lasers are hard to pulse, unless you Q-switch them. (but then you waste some energy when the Q-switch is off.
<br> <br>
A favorite technique these days is to use multiple diode lasers to pump a glass slab.  It's the same thing in principle to green laser pointers which have a single laser diode pumping a ND:YAG crystal.  (The green light comes from a frequency doubling crystal)   In a weapon laser, you'd have hundreds of multi-watt infrared diodes pumping  multiple doped glass slabs all bathed in a liquid whose index of refraction matched the glass at the wavelength(s) you are creating.  The liquid also cools the system and the output mirrors.  The diodes can be pulsed or continuous.
<br> <br>
B.t.w  if you have enough gain in your system, you don't need and output coupler mirror, just the highly reflective mirror behind your laser medium.</htmltext>
