Yes, at that time there was no more "need" to present west germany as "role model" of the great "West". After 1990 the plundering of Germany began and still is going on. Wheras the "Soli" was ok cause there was a lot to build and repair in the former DDR. But it was first said that the Soli is...
It is a dangerous way with lots of traps to fall in. E.G. in germany even sewage treatment plants get sold with a time frame of 30 years. So the new owner is some financial group in US and the community (the village or city ect.) leased back their own sewage treatment plants. So yes, the costs...
In germany we had a bad experience with the privatisation of rail/ports/airports/mail/internet/infrastructure/ect. The argument in the 90s was that there will be lesser cost for the state, and yes, in the first lets say 10 years all work out like that. But then economics trouble arised and the...
So after it is now clear that Russia do not need Ukraine for the AL-engines and also has developed the SM-100 for the YAK-130M what have afterburner, what version of the yak was delivered to Iran? The one with or without "M"?
We have to wait till end of September, beginning of October for showing.

What "freedom"? Also why do you only can think in "US-Block" and "Russia-Block"? Even i can think a lot more possibilities for Germany, but decided for a neutral Germany, trading with everyone, war with no one.
Here a vid of the old trails from 10 years ago. As far as i remember it was a fiber laser with 10 kw energy. For successful in time and result against all RAM threats it is said at least 100 kw is needed. And against missiles hundreds kilometers away me think 2+ MW is needed
It depends on the power of the laser. Missiles do not have any armor, just some layers of composite. So a laser only needs 2-3 seconds (edit: or less if enough energy) to "breach" the composite layers and destroy the missile. And yes, if you combine different "aiming-systems" what are lots...
The US tested a laser in an airplane for to shoot down missiles

As far as i understood the problems there are the air density/humidity/weather and the atoms/electrons of the air itself. The more the target is away, the more often photons collide with...
Not a problem. It depends on the kind of lasers. In the "West, land of the free" mostly fiber lasers (based on solid state lasers) are used whereas lower energy fiber lasers are stacked together to get the needed power output. But this has limits, e.g. fiber stacking . Fibers has a limit at...
You are just another sellout without any knowledge about Germany. Hmm, if i look around in PDF, all US-Lovers are like that.
