During SDI, BDM Corp. a Beltway defense contractor developed a laser mounted atop a B707 which could ostensibly shoot down missiles in the boost phase. It turned out to be lots of hype, glossy brochures, and little else. Strange that this Boeing "achievement" has come out in Ria Novosti. The Russians themselves are in the final stages of developing a pretty sophisticated system at Troitsk and the P. N. Lebedeev Institute. It is supposed to be mounted on a Il-76 (???).
