It’s diesel-powered. Weak. Must be nuclear. More importantly, lasers could free Israel from the control of Biden, who is tying their hands to ensure Hamas’ survival, under threat of cutting off ammunition supplies.
Not necessarily. Diesel generator running continuously to charge up a bank of supercapacitors, which then release their entire charge in milliseconds.
It doesn’t matter what the generator is running on or the level of overall power generated from the generator, there are probably multiple big capacitors taking the steady output from the diesel generator and thses capacitors provide the laser power when it fires. Recharge might take a bit of time though.
