The USAF has been messing around with an airborne laser platform going back to the 1980's the current gen is a decked out 747... that laser is intended to shoot down incoming missiles...uses a fluoride chemical laser if I remember and the gas they get after lasing is so poisonous one breath will kill ya

Hate to burst your bubble but the Soviet Union no longer exists and don't try to argue that it does.
