Re: OT Interesting news item
So if an enemy fighter is attacking with lasers, it would be good to fly into a cloud.

Re: OT Interesting news item
You don't need to fly into a cloud, just puff out some smoke or chaff and make your own cloud.
That said, it seems that it is designed to be used against missiles.

Re: OT Interesting news item
If they can put that on an airplane. just think what they could do with a ground based platform! Seriously though, it would be good to have one of those around N. Korea! Just in case...

Well, that would be a problem for the shooter only if you were trying to hit it from its rear quarter...

Re: OT Interesting news item
Not if you re-route the exhaust fumes through the nose cones. Complex internals I'll grant you, but thing of the benefits!
