Report Copyright Violation | New laser beam capable of burning hole in car from one mile away unveiled A photo of a car on fire which, wouldn’t look out of place in a Hollywood action movie, has displayed the startling power of a new laser weapon which can disable a running car from over a mile away. Demonstrating the power of the 30 kilo-watt laser, the image shows a small truck with smoke billowing from a hole seared into its bonnet. The prototype of the device known as Advanced Test High Energy Asset (Athena) successfully disabled the engine of the vehicle in a matter of seconds in its test run.

Report Copyright Violation | Re: New laser beam capable of burning hole in car from one mile away unveiled Yea but it needs 30kw.
The only way currently of having mobile lasers that can really do military grade damage would be to have mobile mini nuclear reactors. Which is of course insane. |
