ISRAEL has become the first country in the world to shoot down drones using a state-of-the-art laser system, it has been revealed.

A highly-advanced model was operated to intercept Hezbollah drones along the Lebanese border in a huge breakthrough for the country's air defence.

The technological marvel was designed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems as a scaled-down prototype version of the £413million Iron Beam, which is due to be unveiled later this year.

Hezbollah drones were successfully blasted out of the sky by the system in question in late October, sources say.

Use of the laser system was classified and a ban from reporting has only now been lifted.

Its deployment has been confirmed by Israel's Ministry of Defence, which hailed "an accelerated development programme to deploy revolutionary interception systems".

The laser systems will be integrated into Israel's multi-tiered air defence, which includes the world's most famed missile shield, the Iron Dome.

It marks the first operational use of Israel's laser defence technology - touted as the most advanced internationally.

Jaw-dropping footage shows the system in action, carefully scanning the sky before blitzing an incoming drone that then crashes to the ground.

The laser systems offer a more cost-effective solution to combating air threats.

Iron curtain

This Rafael system same with the Rafales shot down by PAF ?

Diu, wasn't that Iran had already shot down many Israeli missiles using laser last time?

thought last time Iran also showed off one made by China?

Impressive.

Using the laser pointer, is it?

Dey..the British army already did this 2 years ago..

Great country!

Going to fail like iron dome, because if it works as it should, thry can't retaliate

Going to fail like iron dome, because if it works as it should, they can't do future genocide.

Must sacrifice own people first before can initiate war.

Heck, even Israel would not exist here today without 6 million Jewish sacrifice for Zionist.

Zionist abuse their gruesome death for future gain and atrocities.

trekkie will say phaser > laser.

In Star Trek, phasers are fictional weapons that fire a beam of energy, often depicted as a stream of particles, while lasers are real-world devices that emit coherent light beams.

In the show, phasers are used to stun, heat, or even disintegrate targets, and can be set to disrupt nuclear reactions. Lasers, while also capable of causing damage, primarily operate on the principle of light amplification.

its all bullshit

even the 3 players usa russia n china dont touch laser due to how fictional it is to operate

but somehow israel got its wonderweapon?

Laser 404. Those are AA flak. Iraq war also same scenes when us strike

This is Iron Dome, see the different ourself

Ya. So you can see the difference when one is using ww2 era anti aircraft gun fire vs modern missile base defense

Makes sense. After all, they don't care who or what they're shooting at.

Hebat Iron Dome paid by American taxpayers.

this when?
