As stated in the article, because of the Venezuela decapitation. Why would a US attorney general be the target of Iran?

I dont understand the tie to Iran. 3 were moved in Oct 2025 over concerns for their safety from US citizens: Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases - The Atlantic Bondi was moved over concerns from "cartels": Bondi moved to heavily guarded military base amid cartel threats So where are you getting your information? Link?

Four v1 have been delivered and as recently as July 2025 the Army bought two more v2: Epirus Receives $43.5 Million Contract from U.S. Army for IFPC-HPM Generation II Systems I agree that all DE weapons suffer from environmental limitations (rain, snow, clouds, haboob, smoke) but it seems to me that ("human safe" lol) microwaves offer a better option than pewpewing single targets with a laser.

I think it would work on missiles too, but I havent seen a test against one. It wouldnt drop out of the sky like a stone, but it would probably lose navigation, communication and warhead fuse arming. Sea mines are a whole different problem. Hear me out here, we put some robots in the deckhouse.

Yes, its a real platform: Epirus Leonidas High-Power Microwave: Directed Energy for cUAS, cUAS Swarms, Counter Electronics Can defeat swarms, 2km range, 360 degree slew, pennies on the dollar to fire...there must be some fatal flaw that I dont understand yet or why else arent we pumping these out like the Model T?

I am HIGHLY disappoint about the lack of directed energy weapon usage. Especially microwave systems. 😿 (< haha I just found that one under "cry"). Strap one of these on the port and starboard deck of the tankers and lets cannonball run the straight and see what happens:

Well that sent me down an unexpected rabbit hole and I learned that the romances give buffs. Wenduag's is pretty good, too!
