Free Electron Laser from a C-130 or C-17.
So you can pop Ahmed from miles away and no collateral damage.
>+9 PsyOps. As superstitious camel jockeys think it is God's own light burning them.

Not looking forward to the days when you can be evaporated from miles away instantaneously from a satellite.

Well this is such waste of money.
Pretty sure, that this "ultimate" weapon cost a million dollars to kill one kabab, plus ammunition and preparations.

It's about collateral damages and public opinion.
Weapons systems involving lasers are primarily for intercepting ordinance, not direct fire on humans or what-have-you. One application they are working on involving direct fire is against small enemy vessels at sea. The idea is to pop inflatables or cut through the hull.

>Hey guise! I don't understand R&D and I just dropped by to let you know, tee hee.
Would be funny watching 2 ISIS goatherders standing next to each other confused, one burning like a bug under a magnifying glass
>>29362450
You can't engage humans with permanent damage lasers because Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons prohibits weapons having primary incendiary effects.

I don't think lasers have no collateral damage. Reflection of kWt class lasers from glass etc would be devastating for eyes.
>YAL-1 can't hit a car sized TBM
>Retards think a less powerful weapon could hit a man sized target
Where we are going you don't need eyes to see
>>29362480
You can be evaporated from miles away since a long time

Gotta watch out for those camel riders who move at mach 3

>Thinking a speed gradient matters past 800km
YAL-1 was shit, airborne laser systems are shit.
Why is the world getting more like a sci-fi film every year?
>>29366180
YAL-1 was a proof of concept test mule.
Laser weapon technology has advanced literally decades since YAL was designed.
>>29366180
seeing how we can hit a drone with a laser on a moving boat, i see no reason to think that we cant do the exact opposite
>>29366086
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that clause refer specifically to chemical incendiary agents? Not sure the ban on WP logically extends to fricking lasers.

>see laser plane over head
>wear mirror hat
>laser plane shoot itself down
BRILLIANT
>>29365775
its a free electron laser so there isnt any ammo except for electricity
>>29366086
no, there's no ban on incendiary weapons being used against combat troops in non-built-up areas. they're only restricted in areas near civilian populations.
I have no idea where the whole "durr flamethrowers and napalm are illegal" meme came from but it's fucking retarded.
we used napalm in Iraq II for god's sake
