The UK Has A Laser Weapon?!

"Our first test of our solar power farm was a success."

"We didn't necessarily target Buckingham Palace...just call it a lucky shot."

Oops.

If someone did ever develop a world-ending weapon like that, the last words ever spoken would be these.

More like, "New series from the CW!"

Uh oh. We have three years to eliminate do something about the UK!

Well Biden is friends with the UK. Just hope that Trump will be friends.

If you ever watched war movies or documentaries, a lot of naval battles are won when one ship puts a torpedo or shell through the magazine of an enemy ship. The entire ship blows up. With a laser weapon, there is no need for a magazine, so ships can be smaller and not have to worry about their own ammunition finishing them off. Warfare could be cheaper because, like prostitution, after you use it, you've still got it.

I worked on detectors for optical weapons like rangefinders, illuminators and laser-guided weapons. These units can set an infantryman's pants on fire at a distance of a mile. They were designed to be used on vehicles, so they had huge power leads going to the 28 volt batteries carried on most tanks. People doing the testing claimed that each shot reset their digital watches.

If the UK has a laser weapon, you can only imagine what the US has. 😳

Porbably spitballs - the Brits beat us to every significant weapon or military tech innovation for the last 100 years.

From TV Tropes on the British opinion of Trump: "a good 60% or so of the British population actively hates President Trump - and most of the rest 'just' don't like him".

@NoShip I had not realised that was so close to what the Judge said! But there is a kind of standing joke that any world-ending button will be pushed. Just, you know, to find out what happens...
