One thing they keep forgetting - a laser will not penetrate thick cloud cover or heavy fog. Railguns are the way to go.

Question I have is: how quickly can these things shoot? And if THEL costs $3000 per shot, couldn't you just shell Israel into bankruptcy?

Certain wavelengths will penetrate smoke and fog. Aside from that I am skeptical this will be in use anytime in the next 10 years.
