Most Powerful ISRAELI LASER System Is Ready For Action
Israel is one of the best-defended nations on the planet. The nation’s Army wields a multi-layered air defense umbrella that includes the Iron Dome, Arrow 2, Arrow 3, and David’s Sling — all highly efficient. Combined, these systems protect Israel from a wide array of missiles, mortars, UAVs, and other manageable threats. But there’s a new, unmanageable threat to fear — hypersonic missiles. Hypersonic missiles maneuver and fly at five times the speed of sound, making them too agile to be intercepted by any of Israel’s existing air defense systems. This is a problem for Israel as their archnemesis, Iran, reportedly has these hypersonic missiles. In dire need of an impenetrable wall once again, Israel is planning $225 million for hypersonic missile defense alone. With this funding, the country turns to the one weapon fast enough to make hypersonic weapons look slow, laser weapons.

6500 miles away, the United States is also facing similar hypersonic threats from Russia and China. As a result, the US and Israel have teamed up to create the most powerful laser weapons that neither the world nor sci-fi movies has ever seen — and after years of work, work, and more work, the lasers are finally here. Both Israel and the US now have laser weapons closer than ever to operational status. Israel’s weapon, being ahead, has been publicly tested in the Negev Desert where it passed in flying colors and wowed the world. In this video, we’ll examine all of these laser weapons and how they were born of an interesting decades-long attempt at laser development.
