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?

Don't care about this, Hamas leader also cannot protek.

waiting for iron beam vs hypersonic missile

After the recent pakistan india war, I now am fully convinced that Tongsan probably has a superior, cheaper version of such laser weapon. Chances are probably already in production line for export market.

This won’t work on the faster missiles like the one where israel drew smiley face on top of the nuke facility or something. The one with dua biji missile after biden say don’t do it

China probably have anti laser mechanism to protect drones

Seem like you don't know the differences between Laser and Missile

Israel is the only country that has a real place lab to test their new weapons. The lab provides modern warfare to fight ina dense population, which is against Palestine.

Mcd Dinner tonight!

Yes, 1 fries, 1 bullet

seems like you need glassescataracts surgery

You can't see laser beam like what is in the movie.

So, no matter what cataracts surgery you had gone through, you still can't see it.

Feel bad for the Palestinians.

you cant see the video is looped over and over again and at super low framerate, so explosions look like blips. you also need to go for mental evalutation for senility.

Look at the lights at the building that blinks. It is not super low framerate. There are numerous videos on what had happened that day. and all concluded that it was using laser.

So, if video is looping, means it is not laser?

too bad, CCP cannot send more students to USA to study laser now

"all concluded that it was using laser"

iran themselves never said they used laser. all those conclude it was laser were the same people who think laser are like those shown in the movies type of laser. you probably think tracer rounds are also laser.

iraq war also got those instant flashes popping off in the sky. so they used laser back then?

Those are American technology and American taxpayers who funded it, and they only used it to bully Gaza concentration camp who don't have any military.

Why do you feel proud of it?

But don't dare to go against Iran 1 by 1 like gentlemen, despite their best efforts to keep dragging Americans, keep cry mother and father to help them for the last 24 years.

Iraq clearly the camera was too far away.

Even the incoming missile cannot be seen.

So the interceptor missile also cannot be seen.
