🚨 WOW! There has been a -75% DROP in drone activity along the US-Mexico border Rio Grande Valley after the US military deployed a "high-energy LASER WEAPON SYSTEM" — CBS

Many of these same drones are linked to the CARTELS

Bad*ss 🔥🔥

The first use of this weapon to down drones was less than 2 weeks ago. The drones plummeted after that

SecWar Pete Hegseth and President Trump are MILITARIZING our border after Democrats opened the floodgates for 4 years 👏🏻

I voted for every second of this.

A week or two ago, I heard that the Israelis now have a laser that can shoot down enemy missiles fired at them. I guess this means they shared that technology with the US?


Joint development with reinforcing research in both countries.

IIRC there is only one of these laser weapons at the moment.
Is that true?

Could be, or the CPU processor speeds have increased exponentially since SDI research started under POTUS Reagan and the guidance works now. I think both these current systems (US and Israeli) use are conventional lasers in both cases, not the X-ray lasers suggested back then.

Better start flooding the tunnels too.”

Flood them with contaminated diesel and thermite charges.

It’s more than a little frustrating, although not surprising, to see Trump’s long list of accomplishments all but ignored by legacy media.

Other than the stubbornly high gas/diesel costs contributing to higher costs elsewhere (and with what’s been successfully carried out against our long-term arch-enemy the obvious contributing factor), almost all of the president’s promises have been kept, with remarkable results.

Yet nearly 100% of media coverage is on “affordability”, as they fervently campaign for Democrat victory in the mid-terms.

Less than two months remain to turn the narrative around.

And with no help from his own party the president has a tough battle on his hands.
