I was doing a search online and kind of stumbled upon an image of a modified KC-135 used for USAF systems command which involved a carbon-dioxide laser that was designed to destroy missiles.


Considering it was able to destroy drones and even sidewinders in tests, and sidewinders are really small targets (thinner than my waist, and with the exception of the AIM-9J/N, shorter than an NBA sized basketball hoop), and move at a decent clip: I'm curious -- if it's not classified, why it would be cancelled?
