Soon enough, laser weapons will be a reality. Imagine being able to instantly disable enemy fighter jets with an invisible blast! The U.S. would be a massive world superpower. On November 6, the Air Force signed an agreement with Lockheed Martin, a defense technology company, to build laser weapons that are light enough to be carried by planes. Apparently, lasers have been used before, but never light enough to use on a plane. The lasers will be invisible and travel at the speed of light. By 2021, the laser will be ready to test. So, a while to wait. This could potentially change modern warfare entirely. With ships flying all over targeting each other with advancing laser technology, the world could change. And not for the better.
