In the "What Have You Done For Us Lately" Department, Israel has just completed tests of its new high-power laser system that, installed on a civilian aircraft, can shoot down drones.
The Defense Ministry has successfully carried out a series of interceptions to shoot down drones with a powerful airborne laser system installed on a civilian light aircraft.
According to the Defense Ministry, Israel is perhaps the first country in the world to have been able to use such laser technology on an aircraft to intercept targets in an operational simulation.
"The fully automated energy system uses the laser to destroy a target while flying above the clouds, he said, adding that the"powerful and precise system" can intercept the target "regardless of weather conditions.
Once a target passes through the area of interest, the system can be directed at any part of it with very high accuracy.
"The laser system will add a new layer of protection at greater ranges and in facing a variety of threats: securing the State of Israel while saving costs of interception," Gantz said.
The laser system will potentially save the IDF hundreds of millions of dollars; it is also more precise in its targeting, and can lock onto a target much closer to its launch, as compared to the Iron Dome.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
