#2 ...maybe, but it will drive the Russians and Chinese to distraction trying to copy it.

#3 Why copy when you can get people like Hilary Clinton to practically give it to you on a silver server?

#4 I hate they describe it as an "Invisible Shield".

It isn't. Detects incoming threats and fires shit at it to destroy it. Same system the Israelis have been using successfully for a couple years. It isn't a force field.

#7 It is so irritating to see non-technical j-school grads try to report something they do not understand at all. Point defense I get. Forcefield? No betterthan a hajji.

#9 Detects incoming threats and fires shit at it to destroy it.

That is what I read into. Invisible shield is hyperbole which I simply ignored.

The Russians use Afganit
