Guys I can’t take it. 364 days a year you expect NOTHING of value from this dead carcass of a once-great empire.
In the last 2 hours I’ve heard normally level headed guys consistently jump from “just shoot it with an f15 duh” to “well duh, retard, just use a laser”
Where are these lasers with this range? Have you SEEN the installations they’ve been prototyping for 10 years? They aren’t small, or portable, they’re gigantic testbed projects that aren’t sitting there waiting to be switched on to shoot something 1,400 miles across the country
They’re toys for the MIC to play with and make press releases about blowing up a small target drone a couple miles away - not a QRF defensive system waiting to be powered on to protect the homeland. It’s not very likely they have the range, the output, or the focus to adequately track and hit a difficult to isolate balloon at the ranges they’d have to from wherever they’re installed.
It’s like saying “shit, flint needs water? Let’s just install a replacement desalination plant by the seaside and they’ll have water tommorrow morning!”
You’re supposed to be more cynical than this
