You can say you can do something,
even give you a pile of shit saying technicaly you can.
The fact of the matter is, is it better, safer, more effective then having a ship with a cargo of seeker missiles, each being capable of destroying a tank.

well i agree maybe, but it doesnt really say how fast it recharges each laser shot, or how much it costs per shot. it could either be very practical or not at all :\, but the laser will be far more accurate and create less collateral damage. but i dunno jack squat about it besides whats in the article

There is a downside... from what I know of the physics of lasers... if you miss it can keep going until it hits something
EDIT: on top of that lasers have been in the use of the airforce and army for a long time they used to be only attached to large planes made to take out balistic missles. I dunno if its in the article because i didnt bother reading it yet.
