HELIOS Laser System in Use in Iran Conflict

It’s really underwhelming until they mount them on sharks.

WWIII kinda slaps technology wise

I have a feeling we will see even cooler shite.

Used by who? Iran?

I think these frickers lie a LOT about the weapons they have.

Yeah, I mean, they released footage of a supposed test fire just yesterday. But it begs the question, why would you be showing off test footage but not actually use the damn things? The scoreboard shows that our Navy is fricking them up. A weapon like that would actually come in handy for them if they actually have any left. And I damn sure wouldn't be still doing test fires with them if I had them. I would be using them.

They might still have some but they’re hard to launch without launchers.

Good point.

We don't expect that to be a concern.

Yes.

They actually do have hypersonics. Theres footage from the 12 day war

The Germans had hypersonics in WWII.

This isn't WWIII level tech

Hypersonic in the modern sense, and correct me someone if I’m wrong, are missiles that can maneuver during hypersonic atmospheric flight and often during the terminal phase. Previous ballistic missiles almost all flew at hypersonic speeds during reentry, but flew at a predictable parabolic path.
