Israel is simultaneously fighting Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and their main backer – Iran.
Over the course of this conflict, Israel’s air defense systems have come under pressure, especially the Iron Dome.
While Iron Dome has been able to intercept a large number of incoming threats, the platform at several points during this conflict seems to have been overwhelmed.
An under-development system holds the key to Israel’s defensive cover in the future- Iron Beam.
The laser weapon is designed to defend against different kinds of projectiles that are launched toward Israel by knocking them out of the air.
It will complement the country’s existing layered air defense which consists of like Iron Dome, Davis’s Sling, and Arrow.
Israel has announced a major $530 million expansion of this advanced laser defense system.
The Ministry of Defense signed a deal to quicken production, signaling a swift boost in laser interception technology as conflict escalates.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why Iron Beam’s accelerated deployment is crucial for Israel?
