They say £10.00 a shot but if it cost millions or billions to buy then it's NOT. Like say a £20,000.00 car only cost £50.00 when drive it because you have filled up with £50.00 worth of fuel.
DragonFire and Phalanx CIWS are both expensive. DragonFire generates lasers at a dirt cheap price, and has infinite capacity so long as the ship has electricity. Phalanx shoots ammo that costs a lot more, has limited magazine depth and requires a relatively complicated reloading process. It's not that hard mate.
If a ship has to repeatedly shoot down a swarm of drones like we had to when the houthi terrorists were attacking global shipping then yes it will be far cheaper. The £10 he mentioned IS the cost of the electricity needed to kill a drone. Better than a £10 million+ missile to intercept a £1000 drone. Lasers are very nessecary considering our adversaries are now moving more and more to swarm based drones, and they will only get cheaper the longer we develop and produce them. Otherwise if your point was true we might as well never have moved to dreadnought based ships and still use wooden ships because hurr durr wood is cheaper than metal. Learn from history, if you even can learn.
You dont get it do you. It would save 1 million per missile, SAM systems are already billions, now this wont replace SAM's but it would make a war more sustaniable.
@@EnglishScripter I do get it but all the talk it's only going to cost £10.00 each time you use it is BS the person on the ship is getting paid more to operate it.
@@RJM1011 But those are two different prices for two different things. It's how every machine works. You buy the machine and you buy the electricity/fuel to use it. This laser is nothing new or different in that regard so I don't know why you are making such a fuss. It is a true statement that it costs £10 to fire it.
Ironic that he’s talking about NATO cooperation in a country that is currently under threat of being invaded and/or bombed by America if they “dare” disobey the US’s unilateral assertion of absolute authority over the entire world…
The American Service-Members' Protection Act (ASPA, Title 2 of Pub. L. Public Law (United States) 107-206, H.R. 4775, 116 Stat. 820, enacted August 2, 2002), known informally as The Hague Invasion Act, is a United States federal law described as "a bill to protect United States military personnel and other elected and appointed officials of the United States government against criminal prosecution by an international criminal court to which the United States is not party". The text of the Act has been codified as subchapter II of chapter 81 of title 22, United States Code.
A heartfelt thanks for your Service
We really skipped over the laser warfare lol 😂
Surely the staff at HQ should be in 3s?
😂😂😂😂

You think US could bomb a NATO country? They cant even help Israel, they are so politically weak.
What the hell are you talking about???
@@Oxley016 I have no idea what he is talking about either.
Bro doesn’t have a clue on what he’s saying 😂
