:shock: :shock: :shock: 8)

I dunno...I just thought it was cool. I know there's technology that will lock on and follow a laser pointer right back at the site too...that's crazy...using their own laser guidance against them....

You would think that those men using the laser guidance are easy to spot and kill. You just have to follow the ray.
Impressive firing rate on that cannon.
The reason the laser is visible in that video is because the night vision technology uses a combination of infra red and light amplification techniques. though we could see it on the video, the targets on the recieveing end of that had no idea what was going on because the camera picked up and amplified the laser light.

The fire rate is quite impressive. not quite as fast as the A10 Warthog which is capable of unloading it's entire bullet supply in 17 seconds, though a constant fire rate like that will slag it's barrels within 10.

I know the camera is using night shot, but the enemy could use the same tehcnique as easily.
we are talking about a country that is anywhere between 50 and 100 years behind us, technilogically :wink: they blow all their money on inaccurate AK-47s and RPGs :wink:

USA is leading in the air warfare and that's why it is so powerfull.
US troops in Iraq without overwhelming air support would have been suffering lot more casulties. You're right though that Iraq troops supposedly don't have equipment to spot the laser guidance, but in general, they are easy to locate just by following the ray.
The beam is visible by naked eye under dust or fog, isn't it?

StanAE86 09-27-2005 01:13 PM
I don't believe so. The infared light spectrum cannot be seen with the naked eye, so whether there is dust or not, makes no difference. This is different than say a red laser beam (or even a flashlight), which is a light spectrum that can be see with the naked eye, but just needs particles to light up, before we actually can tell where it is...

I'm supposing that the beam seen in the footage is a laser... I know about IR pointers, for smallweapons, but an IR guidance system is pretty new for me...

I though were rockets there...

Nope Depleted Uranium shells 8) They do just as well as rockets and are much less costly and alot less on the collateral damage :D

I want more!!!!!! Where did you get this video???

Is an IR Laser an impossibilty? I thought IR was just a band in the light spectrum?

StanAE86 09-28-2005 02:43 AM
Laser is just a focued beam of light:

= an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation; an optical device that produces an intense monochromatic beam of coherent light

So yes, you could have an IR laser...or any spectrum of light. Whether it's visible depends on the spectrum...

I knew about IR laser pointers, but never heard anything about IR laser marker... yet...
