Finally :) If they can perfect it this is awesome - no more fear of being in camp and no more massive fallout from the phalanx insanity.

I thought Israel already had some very highly functioning laser armaments already. From what I understand, the biggest problem is when they are overwhelmed by katyusha barrages. I understand that it is hard to handle more than a few targets per minute.

it will be simple commercial lasers rather than the hugely expensive US Department of Defence technology ....the American defence firm Raytheon has turned a laser used in the car manufacturing industry into a weapon

Uh? The Telegraph ijits don't realize that the "US DoD" doesn't make anything...."hugely expensive DoD" technology is created by commercial engineering companies taking basic science and applying it to new requirements from DoD....just. like. they. did. here.

Got a major snake problem, can I get one for the front yard?

Missles and mortars “raining down” on US and brit positions?

commercial lazers rather than big bad and ugly expensive US millitary ones?

tech that can save hundreds of soldiers lives being lost?

Where do they get this crap from?

Oh, the telegraph. That explains it. They are smoking dope and reading comic books again.
