Figures fucking pissrael gets rods from god first, does this mean I’m going to be killed by an orbital laser for making a big yahu joke?

Putting weapons in space is the first step to getting all your space assets blown the fuck up.
“laser beams”
Never. Gonna. Happen.
Everyone who talks about this stuff is completely clueless. The problem with SDI wasn’t one of technological limitations or materials science, but basic physics.
“Just put a 10 megawatt continuous wave laser in orbit!”
How will you power it?
“Just put a 10 megawatt solar installation in orbit.”
Yeah, bro just build a Dyson sphere, it’s sooooo easy!
literally all you would need is like 5 mirrors, not even lasers. Which is why I know that the statement “no other country has this capability” is pure lies
just put 5 huge idli-makers in orbit and just converge their beams whenever someone starts going mlecch. May only work on clear days.
The bad news for the Idli-Maker Space Mirror Death Laser Program and the good news for 8 billion people who won’t get fried like ants beneath a psychopathic kid’s magnifying glass, is that we have an atmosphere that scatters light like crazy. We have Rayleigh scattering and the even stronger Mie scattering effects protecting us from the sun.
If you wanted to make a space death beam that penetrates the atmosphere, you can’t use visible light. You need a specific type of laser called a maser that shoots microwaves.
Also, no other country needs this capability. A country that “needs” the ability to do orbital strikes is a country that needs to be dusted. Especially if it has a government with an approval rating as high as Occupied Palestine does while pulling this shit.
10 megawatts would require ~100 iss solar panel arrays. it would also take 100 tiangongs but the design would be smaller.
The West doesn’t have the capability to even maintain the ISS. What makes them think they can undertake and deploy a project hundreds of times that scale in a matter of months?
Hubris? Idiocy?
There’s a certain kind of crank that has been talking about orbital weapons for a long time, but frankly they’ve never made sense and they’re never going to make sense because any country that can build an icbm can also build an anti-sattelite missile. The targeting is harder but far from an unsolved problem - there ain’t no stealth in space
Did they just hear the anti-Semitic conspiracies and say “yeah, that’s a good idea, we should do that”?
Stoking antisemitism abroad is good for israel
This comment is a synopsis of all of Israeli history
many such cases
Soon they are going to make Hollywood woke
Do they even have a space program? How are they gonna put anything in space, then protect it? Correct me if I’m wrong but I think once something is in orbit the math to shoot at it with an ICBM becomes pretty simple.
Ayatollah going ‘Watch this drive’ as they bullseye the satellite out of the sky

Yeah that and the fact you could just put all that money and material into missiles instead kinda makes it dubious.
You could, I guess hypothetically, park missiles in low orbit to throw them at someone at a later date and load them with tungsten rods or whatever but it still seems like a massive amount of faff once you factor in radiation/heat sheilding.
This all kinda feels like some kind of market manipulation scheme or Raegan Star Wars callback.
in my opinion, Israel should not have access to the Ion Canon
I’m joining the war against the GDI on the side of the Brotherhood of Nod
Get me a flame tank
we need a real :kane: emoji, not
:fight-win-prevail:
Me, strafing an israeli base in a banshee:
Israel can have one ion cannon if every Palestinian can have a Gundam. This is called compromise
Some stuff from from Dr. Strangelove (2027) has been leaked.
“No country can mount attacks from space. We must close the powerful laser beam gap!”
Breaking: Israel has hired Brianna Wu to develop space based weapons
This sounds like they are hoping to shoot down Chinese satellites that have provided target data to Iran. Fascists love opening up a new front of war I guess.
This sounds like they are hoping to shoot down Chinese satellites
in space? i hope that’s true because that would make it such a boondoggle that it would be batted away by the chinese in one five year plan
China still gunna’ sell them the materials to build it then, I guess.
Im not going to blame china for thinking Israel wouldn’t attack them. I don’t think anyone outside of Bibbi’s bunker if it happens would think they were that cooked.
Very normal country creating Death Star
MTG is a limited hangout operator.
let’s say a forest fire was in fact caused by a space laser, how would you prove/disprove that?
starting a forest fire doesn’t matter. If there’s a forest fire anywhere, it was only a matter of time till that forest caught fire. Doesn’t matter if the initial spark was hobos or space lasers or frequency weapons
satellites with frickin’ laser beams on their heads
