🇮🇱 A smarter way to protect Israel’s skies is on the way. For years, terrorist groups have fired low-cost rockets – often costing just $300–$800 each – forcing Israel to respond with Iron Dome interceptors priced at $40,000–$80,000 per missile. That’s an expensive but necessary defense against thousands of threats. Now Israel is deploying Iron Beam, a high-powered laser system that can neutralize the same rockets, drones, and mortars for roughly $2–$5 per shot (mostly electricity). That’s a cost reduction of over 95% compared to kinetic interceptors, while offering virtually unlimited “magazine” depth. Iron Beam isn’t replacing Iron Dome yet – it will work alongside it – but it dramatically lowers the price of defense and makes large-scale rocket barrages financially unsustainable for terrorist organizations. A real leap forward in protecting lives without breaking the bank. #IronBeam #IsraeliInnovation #DefendingTheSkies
