Hello there. New to this thread? Here you can discuss about technologies that you’ve heard of and that you find interesting to talk about. It can be about past classified weaponry, present technologies that are fully or progressively developed or future technologies. It can be about AI, space propulsion tech, weaponry, transportation, terraformation, etc. It can be about anything as long as it is about technology, preferably human technology.
Though you can discuss any technology, it would be fun hearing about space thrusters/propulsion systems and terraforming technologies.
Thanks and have fun! (gabeN)

The Russians _**(sorta)**_ have laser tanks.

Can you show us a source of this information?

Lasers are actually a working tech in the military currently. These are no personal handheld laser rifles that immediately blow up whatever you point them at of course, but instead they work as a way to shoot missiles out of the air by heating them up until they explode mid-air, and can even take out drones the same way, but with less explosions.
IIRC the only one I know of is used by the US navy and has been put on a boat, but I would not be surprised if the Russians have managed to downscale it enough to work on a ground vehicle.

Calm down pls! Russians are same as others. We haven’t got guns in our flats, and in our towns you don’t find any bears, and we not great programmers, and we not only drinking. We are as other, as you. We have some good national Kulibins, but I think, you have your Thomases Edisons. You can’t judge about all Russia because of questionable photos of some trainers in circus. You can see your youtubers, that live in Russia. And I don’t know about laser tanks. The picture seems photoshopped. If you think this post is aggressive, please forgive me. I should have said something, because i tired about this misconception. And many ordinary citizen want to move to another country, but can’t.

I chose wikipedia because it is funny, but other sources exist.

It wasn’t an attack, it was just more how in general it would not surprise me if any group at all would manage to downsize it to that amount, and since someone claimed the Russians managed it I said the Russians ¯\_(ツ)\_/¯

I wouldn’t really call this the Russians (even sorta) having laser tanks, though, there was research for laser weapons on each side of the cold war.

It’s not only about laser tanks, it’s only that they have talked about it. But you can discuss any technology here!

The maggots understand. Interestingly maggots are used as a therapy because they appear to wipe away excess flesh better than normal methods of wound cleaning. The more you know.

Ok. I am going to make a poll, and I will include your subject as a choice, @Magic8Ball04.

you know i thought of hover tech many years ago and the current hover tech being developed is the exact same idea. to use magnets of the same polarity to cause them to push against each other causing it to hover.

…how about no? Just let people talk about what they want to talk about, and if they’re being lazy/dumb about it just tell them to shut up. You’re no mod, and I really feel like you shouldn’t be if i see this thread.
Now, did y’all know the microwave came into being because someone left some food next to a radar, and when he came back it got hot, which gave the idea?
