I'll believe Boost Phase Intercept is real when they can actually make it work. A few more breakthroughs needed, and no, not quite small enough to fit onto an F-35 Lightning II. I concur with Mach Two and suggest that you move this discussion into a new thread called "Death Ray Cancelled, then what" so that our usual bun fight over the F-35 returns to its correct envelope of combined piss taking and program review.
