CURRENTLY IN USE IN AFGHANISTAN (AND IRAQ?) The U.S. Army is using a humvee, equipped with a laser gun turret, called the Zeus-HLONS (HMMWV Laser Ordnance Neutralization System) in Afghanistan. They are using it over there to clear roadside bombs, as it is a lot safer to shoot the mines with the Zeus laser, than setting explosives beside un-exploded munitions, which they would normally have to do. As you can see from the picture, above, this kind of weaponary is highly mobile, can reach fast speeds, and the damage it can cause, when developed, can easily out-do the biggest of missiles. Oh, and each subsequent show costs very little. Taking all these facts into consideration, even the most powerful and up to date tanks must now look like pussycats. There are reports going around that Zeus may be being used in Iraq too, as locals there have described a strange looking tank, similar to the Zeus. Image: Public Domain
