I know & it gets so close to the ship right :helpme

..i do not want WW3.

what does Rayleigh scattering have to do with anything? gravity exists too, and yet engineers came up with solutions to make aircraft fly... that's what scientists/engineers do...

spend 2 minutes on google and you will find videos of laser weapons popping missiles / artillery shells / etc from miles away, here is one for example:





and that's with some weak-ass 10 kW proof-of-concept laser running from a back of a truck... now imagine harvesting even fraction of the 100s of MW that a nuclear reactor on a ship is generating into a laser beam and you will see where the technology is headed... :2 cents:

Note my P.S. here: https://gfy.com/20906087-post90.html - you are not first who tries to use lasers for military purposes - these are technologies from 70's (been there, seen that, done that). So, good luck on learning physics. First of all just try to find out what efficiency does mean ;)

How old are you? The higher power does not mean the higher result when we are talking about lasers, operating in the atmosphere. Let me step to your level and explain it in a different way. Consider the laser beam power like a human body, falling down to the ground. It doesn't matter if it was 100 km or only 1 km height: the speed of that body will be the same - not more than 240 km/h. There are limits of atmosphere for both: falling bodies and laser beams.

Not going to happened. Russian oligarchs heavily vested in western economies and real estate. Most of them live or have their families in EU or USA. Putin is bluffing.

what do your failed attempts at creating some advanced weapons have to do with anything? I know what efficiency is, care to clarify what it has to do with anything in this context?

not surprised at all, obviously higher power means lower result... but only in Russia... :error

Do not forget russian internets satelites technology! :thumbsup

Only on a planet which has such a thing like the atmosphere (e.g. Earth). You can't jump over the physical limits. Once again: how old are you and did you complete a middle school?

P.S. Even a power of explosion drops as a square-root of the distance. Getting back to your level: a power of a shock wave with a force of 100 Pa will be only 10 Pa in a meter away of it's epicenter. That's a world we live in... But you can always count on them:

I like this gif, thanks :1orglaugh :thumbsup

Unfortunately I go to sleep at about 7 AM (

laser = technology fail...

missiles can be like 10 meters long, how hard would it be to fire TEN with say 3 meters worth of fuel and 7 meters of steel...melt that bitch! travelling at mach 15 the kinetic energy of the hit would vaporize a ship :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
fail

US army = fail

f
a
i
l

the americans did not think that one out, they acted on impulse, lucas made star wars, they got stoked "merica! lasers!"

fail...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

or a shot gun type of missle with like 1000s of pool ball sized steel balls travelling at mach 15, the moment the missile is within the lasers puny range it bursts and swiss cheeses the waste of money US boaty mc boat face...

lasers = fail

fleet = sink :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

amazing machinery & equipment :thumbsup

Technically isn't it the power behind the laser that creates the distance due to the capacity of power inside. Yes, there are limitations, as you say. But with a larger pointer, the lens or the part of where the beam is shone & the power behind the laser, would create a further beam & project a hotter burn as it penetrates the object.
It's not the same as a person, small or big falling other wise you could estimate it similar to a feather falling against a round object weighing as much as a feather. The feather will float & drift down, the round object would fall direct, yet they weigh the same.

Although you're right about the different atmospheric pressures could change the speed & distance :2 cents:

Doesn't this one look similar? ;)

That's a technology of 1980 (was already done by Soviets when I was a kid) and those are just military toys and nothing more.

It's hard to explain, but laser technologies work well as pew-pew guns in Sci-Fi movies only, but not on planet Earth. I've tried to explain in above, but seems it doesn't work for the people who calls physical law a "wild story". That's like speaking with people who've got their education in some village parish school.

Do you think why all world armies still use old good bullets and missiles instead of this:

http://cf.ltkcdn.net/toys/images/std...-Laser_gun.jpg

There must be a reason, right? :winkwink:

missiles need to have sensors in front, unless they are guided from behind from the launching site...

sensors in front = trivially easy to burn them out
guided from behind = susceptible to electronic counter measures, jamming, etc

fail / fail

Inertial control, hyperbolic navigation etc? Not, haven't heard about that :winkwink:

yea, against targets moving at 40mph+... good luck with that...

5 tons of concrete travelling at mach 15 has the kinetic energy of 10 metric tons of TNT...ten such missiles are like 100 metric tons of TNT

They can hit approximately LOL you are not going to have a good time...

Now imagine ten of them loaded with metal balls like basketballs going your way...mach 15...a 40 kg ball would be equal to like 180lb of tnt at that speed...not a good time...

Fail\fail\fail

Also if the sensors are on the front the missile can fly up high as a mother fucker and when it is directly above, then down...str8 down with a payload of 20 tons of pig shit,thats 80tons TNT kinetic energy does not care LOL

yea, and hit the target within a mile if you are lucky... :error

strategy like that is only useful with nuclear weapons, but those are as useful as pulling out a grenade at a bar fight... yea, you will kill your adversary, but you will be dead too... completely pointless strategy, unless you are suicidal or have a way of stopping the 1000s of nukes that seconds later will be coming your way... which with current technology, no one does...

If I was pooty I would make massive 100 ton missiles that are filled with shit, they would fly up and then directly down and it would detonate say two miles above to scatter the shit and it would rain shit on you and you would be covered in 100s of tons of shit and would be forced to go home LOL

Looks like it worked fine on your gypsy asses. 17 years later we can still hear butthurt serbs whining :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

That the whole place would look like Serbia ! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I would "brown sky" the US fleet 24/7 they would be so shit soaked the USA would not want to take them back :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You would run away. Thats what Serbs do :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

All weapons have different pros & cons, but laser tech is simply fantastic in removing a threat, as seen on the video from WOJ. Reading up on the rail gun's history, the French founder invented the idea of magnetic propulsion many years ago & yet it only seems to have been used in the recent decade. Maybe the same as laser technology, there's more to come :2 cents:

I disagree.

We aren't to the point where a single short burst of a laser light will instantly destroy a large target, but the US Military seems to be working on a laser that can take down missiles and projectiles as well as larger targets such as boats and planes. They expect to deploy this in the next five years.

Lasers will be everything in the future. Imagine having a system with unlimited ammo that can instantly engage targets at any distance and destroy them. It will completely change the the very nature of warfare.

Warfare itself has changed. In the past, there was two huge problems - finding the enemy and then destroying them. Finding them is no longer an issue; Every plane and ship is tracked. This isn't huge news; your local department store tracks you in every aisle and is able to determine when you need help. Destroying a target has become easier and easier; With lasers it will be instant. Eventually will be at a "locate and destroy" instantly.

Good luck on that :winkwink:

The energy is not unlimited (show me at list an iPhone which can work for a month w/o re-charging). The laser can not work just instantly. The laser ray need time to heat гз the target. The targets can use anti-laser coating. Laser is absolutely useless in a rainy or snowy weather. Laser can not work at any range. It's effective on a close distance only because... note my posts about Rayleigh scattering. Actually, the real distance is closer than a distance of machine-gun bullet. So course lasers can be used in military, but they are very limited because of our atmosphere and various weather conditions. It will work in some limited cases and on a very limited range.

As I mentioned above, the steam engines are also work, but people are smart enough to avoid their usage on cars and motorbikes. There are more effectively technologies for that.

E.g. this toy is more effective on close ranges than any theoretically invented laser system:



It has missiles that fly in any weather and don't afraid of rains, snows and smoke. Plus to that uses 60 round per second cannons which will cut off any target to pieces like saws in just a moment.

When yo need the long range systems, you will go with those:



Just check out their possibilities: S-400 (missile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and S-500 (missile system) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To be short, you can not invent a laser which will be able to hit anything over the horizon (hope don't need to explain why).

P.S. Both systems (Pantsir and S-NNN) have mobile ground-based and stationary navy versions. They don't need so much power as lasers, they can work at almost any distance (including the theoretically unreachable ones for lasers). They work in any weather condition, they a rather cheap, very reliable etc. So that's all about the efficiency. Lasers have lost this battle long before its beginning... Lasers are so 70s :)

So bad that so expensive stealth technology is finally ruined - everything is being tracked now - even my cat when he hides in the bathroom :(

more of your pie in the sky rusky dream land. even if ivan could figure out anti-stealth(which you have not), you don't have the cash to do it.

is this your admission that you do not have workable anti-stealth tech and even if you did, your military budget is kaput and couldn't acquisition it?

funny how when cberseo needs shit to be tracked, rusky ivan can track everyone's cat, but when he doesn't need tracking, like when drunk ruskies launch tactical nukes, there's no tracking those guys!
