Reminds me where at least a couple of China's tanks ended up - Tienanmen Sq. Our ability for open discussion and debate is certainly worth defending, no question about that!

In the age of nuclear ICBM and dirty bombs F-35's won't make you more secure but it will drain your treasury. Suckers!

I would wonder (star trek nerd talking now) if that same tech could be used to form a defensive ionized shielding around a ship. Shields up on the USS Enterprise. (also star wars in terms of the shield generators) Sci Fi leads the way!!! Anyone click on the link about invisible tanks. Again thinking about movies and reality. In the Chicken Little movie, the aliens used paneling that mimicked the sky to hide their ships. Amazing that the exact same tech is being talked about for real life combat equipment. Wild!

I certainly could see the Swedes wanting an invisible tank battalion. The thought of an invisible warthog though, awesome!

It's pretty astounding.
