The only weapons system that I can see that would have this kind of capability would be a high-power railgun.
Kind of like the one we're going to put on the DDX.
I wonder who's responsible for the leak this time?
The new weapon? It's a special air defense weapon using a very liberal belt of special Yanki Demokratski rounds that interfere with the guidance systems of offensive weapons while theiy are in flight. Problem is, it only works if Russia is attack by American Republicans.
Doomsday device ping!
It would be a lot cheaper for them to help elect a Democratic president and congress.
Why are you citing this site? Pravda.ru is not a legitimate news source, in Russian or in any other language. It's a web-only publication of limited influence and negligeable jouranlistic merit. This is not Komsomolskaya Pravda, nor is it the former Soviet organ.
"The Russians see our current "leadership" (Pelosi, Murtha, RINOs, Reid, Cindy Sheehan, etc..) and think (incorrectly, I hope) that we are no longer willing or able to defend our interests."
I believe Pravda just put out an alert to the Dems that the Russians are in the market for US Technology.
Paraphrased from memory, from a 60's-era political satire record called Lyndonland:
LBJ: Gentlemen, I have called you here to announce that the United States has completed a new weapon. It is equally maneuverable in air, on the land, and in the water. Three death rays, and the capability of destroying, all forms of life, within a radius of 500 miles.
(Shocked murmurs.)
Reporter: Mr. President, we are shocked! We have never heard of such a horrible thing. You must, for the safety of mankind, stop production of this monstrous weapon.
LBJ: Well, if you feel that strongly about it, all right. First thing in the morning, I'll calling the Mattel Toy Company, and cancel the order.
Cheers!
It's called an energy weapon (particle projection or laser)
