mirrors works, and good, Vortex, do you know how a laser works???????mirror, refectant coatings, etc..
if a laser works, thats just because there is a mirror for that, also IR mirrors are much simpler to build than X-UV
IR lasers are more suceptible, since IR frecuency dont need complex reflectants to the phase resonance stage, because IR (not like high frec) isnt absorved more easely (well, not like blue-UV+ frecuencies), here the problem is not the laser power, is the frecuency
As to UVs...now, there's this thing called the Ozone
:confused:, what you are talking about??, who said UV??,anyway, are you comparing the EM nature with the human health parmeters???
im not discussing why they puted the laser in the nose (there could be looots of reasons), but that position is bad for a ABM system

with lasers you will always be compromised
How do you figure? Draw a 3D bubble around a 747 showing the field of fire based on the current turret position. Then try to find anywhere else on the aircraft that would have a greater field of fire. If you find one let us know. As for the "with lasers you will always be comprimised" tell us what weapon the ABL should carry with which it would be less "comprimised".
