Okay, magnetic rail projectiles traveling at seven or eight times the speed of sound will do a number on those aircraft protected against lasers.



The history of warfare is measure/counter measure. While some of the proposed weapons systems of the future are going be almost Starwars like, I suspect an equally capable counter will be developed..on either side of the issue, costs are likely to be the major stumbling block…


Except for when something totally changes things like the machine gun, the tank, or the torpedo carrying airplane and makes the wisdom of a hundred years useless overnight. Sometimes, the only counter is to completely change the way you do things and think about them.


Not saying you are wrong about the potential for future DE weapons, just that I am confident counters will also be found..
