Heh... even imagining such an NF is impossible :) let alone defeating it)

And why do you think a blaster beam will simply slide off a dragon?
Wistrit
But the dragon doesn't have four-meter scales.
It won't pierce through.
Those same Imperial fighters are much faster than your dragon.
Dragons are quite slow (compared to planes and ship fighters).
And why do you think a blaster bolt will simply slide off the dragon?
This is beyond the capabilities of the physiology of a living organism.
And where have you seen a dragon with diamond scales? At most, very hard stone.
And in general, it's impossible to kill a dragon.
Those same Imperial fighters.

Who said that dragon scales are made of stone? Even stone won't withstand an AK, unless it's very thin...
No, here the question is not about the physiology of a living organism.
And you'll say that the dragons of Arcanum aren't fire-breathing? Or that fire elementals aren't fire-breathing?
XEL
You're also saying that Arcat's dragons aren't fire-breathing? Are they fire elementals?
Wistrit
It's definitely not made of metal or diamonds.
One fighter will be enough to kill at least a few dragons.
The fact that a dragon's scales reflect energy is completely unfounded and far-fetched, just to make dragons super-powerful and invulnerable again.
Fire elementals.
Loken
It's definitely not metallic or diamond.
Why is that? There's no basis for it.
I'm going to burst your bubble, but Dragons are cold-blooded creatures.
A blaster is just a charged beam of energy) it will slip through and won't reflect like a laser)
Some Dragons can cast teleportation;)
And by the way, it's not a fact that they are slower.
It would be a great sight, a huge ship chasing a dragon. Awesome!! X_X

It certainly is. It reflects magical energy. If it reflects magical energy, then a pathetic bunch of simple protons won't be a hindrance to it.
They are incredibly powerful and invulnerable:)
Why is that?:) It's not based on anything.

Is "It's Hard to Be a God" at the intersection of genres? And where is the magic in this book? How does it connect with fantasy?
Wistrit
Okay, if a dragon's hide deflects magic, energy, bullets, projectiles, doesn't get wet in the rain, and protects against heat and cold, then, I repeat, why is a dragon killed by some pathetic Knight with a simple sword in his hand?
otherwise, they wouldn't be able to move, let alone fly.
reptiles are like that.
if you insist on this, imagine that a blaster hits a pumpkin, inflicting injuries to the head of the poor lizard. And if it doesn't hit, it ignites the air, which quickly burns out, and the dragon has nothing to breathe. Or the fire penetrates the lungs and esophagus. I doubt that if a dragon breathes air calmly, the furnace is not a separate organ, which means that inhaling hot air is, let's say, unpleasant.
some Inquisitors can perform Exterminatus.
I doubt it's faster than even a military helicopter.
nonsense, a huge ship will simply aim its guns, but the dragon will try to escape from them if it's not stupid.
in the end, the long-suffering Smog was killed by a single arrow that hit him in the belly. There is no super-imba scale on their belly.
How can dragons be invulnerable if weaker units, almost in packs, kill them?
What does magical energy have to do with it?
These are just your assumptions and stretches based on your personal sympathy for dragons. Saying that a dragon cannot be killed by a blaster or a rocket is just nonsense.
Yes, the dragons of Arkata are fire elementals. Or do they also have diamond scales that are impenetrable?
A fighter will fire from a ship's gun, which will pierce the hide of any dragon. So, at least several dragons can be shot down. And by the way, the armor of the same fighter is not a knight's armor.
XEL
What does it mean for a fighter to fire? To charge and shoot in a straight line? How does it hit?
I am providing arguments. Where are yours now?
XEL
Is this magic?
Loken
Bullets simply won't penetrate, and it's hard to hit with a projectile.
This Knight (just one?! Well, well... even logically, you can figure it out...) is holding a sword made of an unknown metal, and again, unknown enchantments are placed on it.
This is not pure magic; it's a way to give the sword certain properties.
No one said that dragon hide is a solid frame. It's scales.
Why would they need feathers? Bats don't have them either, and they fly.
They are supported in the air by incredible strength.
And why wouldn't magic support them?
No one knows what they are capable of. And if a ship needs to overcome various physical obstacles, then a dragon that can cast teleportation has to overcome something even greater...
In what proportion? And nothing is known about the nature of these units.

1. This single arrow was very unusual. Don't tell me...
2. Smok had a hole in his belly... 2x2 cm. It's all about accuracy.
