You mean "cat", "dog" and "airplane", CM?
And for clarification of the original point: A l@ser does not require dynamic tracking of the target, has 100 per cent of its range and lethality independent of the target's orientation with respect to my airplane's datum, and may have complete spherical coverage,
Once I have the range and rate-of-fire to defeat any conceivable kinetic threat (that is, the largest salvo that my adversary can throw against my platform or formation), what does my ideal weapon platform look like?
