If it's ChiCom, are you sure it's not just a red blinking light like Buzz Lightyear's laser?
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).

never mind the optics on the missile, a well managed laser can probably screw them up...

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

well
try this site. the federation of american Scientist maintain an open information forum on whats been expressed publically in the news regarding defense.

That site is a great resource, I've been browsing around on it making a shopping list of all the gear I'll need for my army when I become Emporer of Antartica.

Over my dead body. I shall rule antartica!!!!
