 Sorry, couldn't help it. But it does sound like an interesting defense, mighty expensive, though. Isn't there a move away from laser guided anti-armor systems and towards infrared targetting? Just wondering how useful a system like that would actually be (especially for a country like our own, where our enemies don't have access to much sophisticated arms).

| Centurion | Since a laser tends to heat things up, it would wash out the thermal sights of the missile.
