The drawbacks of the Dragon have been well brought out, and I guess one
can conclude it is not a very effective weapon. Are there any laser guided
anti tank missiles in existence ? ie an operator could paint a target with
a laser beam and then fire a missile, very much like the laser guided
weapons carried by aircraft. If anybody knows put it on the net.
