yes they had superior weaponry , but a very inferior civilian economy , thus they collapsed

Granted it didn't work so well (despite some claims that it did work and destroyed targets), this is just one known installation.
The first applications would have to be limited to anti-satellite, and then primarily to blind optical sensors.
no , not by soviet standards ,this type of generator can be put on these soviet planes
IL-76 can carry 40 tons payload
An-124 cargo craft can carry 120 tons
An-225 can carry 250-300 tons
also , supersonic bombers like tu-160 can carry 45 tons ,
clearly, my sources state that development of nuclear pumped laser began in 60's
and nuclear ractors generate 200+ MW
it was in the West that they patented it in 1965??? wasn't it
A pulsed chemical laser was demonstrated by Jerome V. V. Kasper and George C. Pimentel by 1965[1].
they did sell a lot of technologies to USA , not all of them ...
the russian expert means they tested similiar system in 1972 , but began full deployment

So you and your "hypothetical" thinking want us to believe you tather than those sources, about what Russia has,
My reasoning and factual thinking is far more believable than some blog and online forum about Nuclear Missiles.
I don't care who wrote them, 2 websites does not prove to me that something is 100% true.
You want to believe any you get off the Net, fine by me, just don't say nobody warned you though when things you start believing in turn out to be utter garbage.
You think the Americans are the only masters of propaganda? lol
Right the Russians never took a penny off a sidewalk, they wouldn't lie.
"We don't have Nuclear Missiles in Cuba...."
Ring any bells?
Get your head out of the sand mate and reread those sources carefully, I think you need to be a tad more critical of what you take in.
Oh and I'm not a "Yank" there by the way, maybe you need glasses...
See where it says "Location" on my avatar, what's that say?

the moment you said that russia never had better technology than the US and couldnt possibly beat america in research, I stopped taking you seriously.
And the Russians trailed in the US is just about about every high-tech weapons department.
They simply didn't have the luxury of resources to spend on projects which may not actually develop realistic, practical weaponary.
I switched to a less biased channel and could see that russia actually has a lot of newer better vehicles and equipment than the US does.
Too many people here are really clueless.

As for the US "playing catch up".
Now there are three parts to that video. Does anyone honestly still think the US is playing "catch up"?

There's a differencen between "working on them" from having them developed and deployed, which my links are stating, so what was that your saying.

I am sure you think that, forgive me, but I am curios as to how you of all people, Mr. Lambo rider, would honestly know any better?
According to your sources, there is no solid evidence that reinforces such an argument.
I think Ret. Colonel John Alexander (former program director of LOS ALAMOS National Laboratory, according to him, the US has been working on such weaponry for the past several decades as well.) would know better than you. Forgive me If I take his word over yours.

I fully beleive that the Soviets were TESTING laser weapons, but by no means capable of using them with any real effect.
The US was rapidly superior in technology than the Soviets. That's why they relied on quanity and size. Their bombs were big and their army huge, but they weren't "advanced".
Of course, the Space Race is another story, but we "won" that anyway after a decade or so.
