devildogdakota 804 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hopefully, they get all the bugs out of it in crappy weather. I sure hope they keep the ole' Sea Whiz on the ships that will utilize these things for a back up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socom688 217 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I am still waiting for the long range, carrier mounted version. That thing is supposed to be able to knock Dongfeng ICBMs out of the sky from 20-40 miles away. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

misterT 174 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Maybe they should test the new FEL (free electron Laser) on NKs next missle launch! That would send a STRONG message to Kim Jong Un when his little missle goes up in flames before it gets off the launch pad. After WW II nobody messed with us for 50 years now we have our troops spread all over the world playing policeman and our "leaders" are a bunch of pansy's. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
