About that last RT: I think this is the first ever use of a laser anti-missile weapon in combat. The implications for future conflicts are immense as it shifts the offense/defense slider a *long* way back towards defense (war fighting has been dominated by offensive technologies since 1918: a tool for reliably zapping artillery shells and missiles in flight will be a game-changer).
