  • drunk tank

  • They are trialing this to be fitted to the future F-35 and the AC-130 Hercules gunship. Eventually be a 100Kw solid state weapon. The 747 based laser is a multimegawatt chemical laer.

  • @gabrielk310 targeting is pretty intense, but lasers don't lose power over distance, try shining a laser pointer on a far away building, if you use binoculars/something to stabilize the pointer, you will see it over there if it is in the proper condition. Keep in mind there is dust/water in the air that refracts the laster, but if your pointer is strong enough, it'll work just fine.

    NOPE, wrong.

    He just happened to be a leading figure behind Watson-Watt. Srsly ive read your evedence and i'm even more suspect than when i started. You just butthurt that it wasnt Page.

    Um, did you get that outa a US textbook? lol

    1st of all, what use is radar WITHOUT range finding?

    2nd of all, It turns out that almost all the countries in WW2 had there own inventions of and for radar.

    1864 - British physicist James Clerk Maxwell developed equations for radar.

    On 2 April 1935, Watson-Watt received a patent on a radio device for detecting and locating an aircraft.

    All the rest you said was just butthurt.

  • @Elephantintheroom01

    lol You had range finders

    Radar was invented by Robert M. Page

    Sputnik is shit

    And the internet was a very large and vast amalgamation of information, but the basic hardware and coding was created by the U.S. Defense Department.

    We had the first servers ever made for god sakes.

    U mad.
