Very interesting technology.
I wonder what the range is on this laser canon and if it could possibly take out satellites?

Yeah, even if their ballistic anti-ship missles have in flight terminal guidance maneuverability , its kinda herd to beat the speed of light!

It's kind've hard to focus a laser beam weapon at an incoming, highly-maneuverable and very fast anti-ship missile while hoping the tiny beam will somehow cause the heat-protected missile casing to fail and explode... let alone multiple incoming missiles...
I still fail to see what is so great about this waste of money. The Soviets had superior technology in the 60s that was battle-proven.

And you know these things, how?
Really? If true, the russians would still have the technology, right? Why or how did they lose it?
