The United Socialist States of Zvarinograd presents to the world the AZ-MD Point Defense Laser. Using an argon gas laser powered by hydrogen fuel cells, the PDL destroys oncoming anti-air missles, making all anti-air missle defenses obsolete. With this, pilot and aircraft losses decrease dramatically, giving a considerable edge over an enemy.
Though the laser has severe limitations due the fact that it can no longer shoot for the rest of the aircraft's flight after it's hydrogen cell stores have run out as the power it consumes is considerable (however, due to the hit and run nature of aircraft, it might only need to fire one salvo to break past enemy defenses and leave unscathed) and that it's short range adds to the lethality of a missed shot, it reduces aircraft losses considerably.

SB-AHFC Advanced Hydrogen Fuel Cell
Soviet Bloc technology

The SB-AHFC is a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell-also called Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell. A PEM fuel cell uses hydrogen fuel and oxygen from the air to produce electricity. If utilized on an aircraft, it would require either an outlet into the air intakes or a seperate one to bring in oxygen.
The SB-AHFC fuel cell's dimensions are: 24in (L)x 4in (W)x 20in (H)
Each cell is made to be joined to another cell and create 'stacks' of fuel cells. Forty-eight of these cells can fit in a modified DP-21 missile bay (Missile bay dimensions: 48in (W)x 48in (L) by 40in (H) )
Each cell can hold and/or generate 100,000 kW (?) of electricity (with pure hydrogen and as long as a constant oxygen flow is allowed, not a problem on aircraft).
Hydrogen is supplied by large hydrogen canisters that can also be installed or from specialized hydrogen generators (uses electrolysis to seperate Oxygen and Hydrogen in water).
Efficiency- 20% more efficient than the most advanced gasoline turbines.
Warning:
Argon laser emissions are hazardous to view. Both diffuse and direct exposures beyond the applicable MPE (Maximum Permissable Exposure) limit can cause permanent damage to the retina, the AZ-MD is one such laser that gives off those emissions.
Note:
This technology will only be sold to nations without any history of attacking other nations unprovoked or without an acceptable reason as a precaution (the nation's ideals does not matter, capitalists may purchase this technology), offers must be made by telegrams and offers must come with a compilation of the nation's history. All nations who contributed to this effort have been given production rights and plans to the technology.
We would like to thank Dr. Anouska and all nations who contributed to this effort.
