LOL... I betcha maybe a dozen or so of these things hovering around and an air strike could be called in just about anywhere in the US...
In my new book, the bad guys running the USA develop a kind of “mini-hellfire” that is more “useable.” Not as big of a crater, or collateral damage risk. Rides the UV laser down to its target, boom! But not too big of a boom. Just enough to take out a car or a few insurgents.
