Subject: OT: Real World HELs
It's off topic, but might be interesting to you guys on the list. Today the US Army just tested a HEL against a missile in flight and was able to shoot the thing down. The HEL was developed with Israel and the press release says that Israel will soon start deploying these systems along Israel's northern border to protect the country against missile attacks. Interesting stuff... you can see the press release on Yahoo.
