@kajer And that tech isn't cutting edge at all:
#FedEx explicitly asked for permission to have laser-based self-defense systems that automatically detect SAMs and blind the targeting system of said rocket, and #ElAl, the #FlagCarrier of #Israel, has such an automatic defense system known as #FlightGuard deployed on it's fleet starting in 2004 - so by military & intelligence terms it's fucking old.
