JUST IN: Israel will reportedly be using their new "Iron Beam," a laser beam that can take out enemy rockets. Unconfirmed videos are circulating showing these laser beams are now taking out enemy threats. While an interceptor missile from the Iron Dome costs ~$50,000, the laser beam interceptor costs...

Hearing contradictory statements on the unconfirmed videos. It appears some are from the video game Arma 3. The beam has been successfully tested many times but wasn't supposed to enter service for a few more years. The current situation may change that.

@WSJ The sea-based version of Iron Beam will be fun. I call it ... "Iron Mako":

@WSJ Lol ummm how can it use more power than a home does but only cost $2 to use?! Anyone else seeing the disconnect here?

@WSJ Much more affordable than the Iron Dome for sure.

@WSJ Much more affordable. Iron Dome is still necessary considering the laser struggles with further targets and can't operate very well in winter / bad weather conditions.

@WSJ I'm old enough to remember people thinking a few of us were nuts for suspecting DEWs may have had a great deal to do with a big fire in Lahaina the other day. 🤔

🚨IRON BEAM: Congress Robs🇺🇸to Boost🇮🇱War Industry 🇺🇸Headlines praise🇮🇱Innovation but what they don’t tell you is🇺🇸taxpayers funded🇮🇱companies Rafael & Elbit to develop Iron Beam thru $500M/yr R&D to🇮🇱 In May 2024🇺🇸Taxpayers paid🇮🇱$1.2B to purchase Iron Beam from Rafael/Elbit DETAILS: This is a typical cycle for Israel & Israeli companies. For the past several decades, Congress funds $500 Million/year for Cooperative programs between the U.S. & Israel for Research, Development, Testing & Evaluation (RDT&E) of weapons and weapons systems. The purpose of DOD’s Cooperative programs for the U.S. military is joint RDT&E with friendly foreign countries who have developed advanced technology. We share our advanced tech and the friendly foreign nation shares their advanced tech and jointly, we develop a better product. This applies to EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY EXCEPT ISRAEL. In the case of Israel, we have literally given them $500 Million/yr so they can take our technology & give us little/nothing to in return. Such is the case of RDT&E that lead to the development of Iron Beam. In 1996, Bill Clinton & Congress appropriated funding & mandated the US Army to provide Israel Tactical High-Energy Laser (THEL) capabilities. At the time, Israel had little to provide. 10 years later and $300 Million of 🇺🇸taxpayer money spent & tech transfer complete, the program was cancelled in 2006. In 2007, the next phase began under the same Cooperative Program which is funded by taxpayers through today. 🔹Why? Because Congress mandates & funds it every year with $500 Million of taxpayer money. 🔹Why does Congress do this? Because Members of Congress are funded by the Israel Lobby to promote & pass legislation that benefits Israel at US taxpayer expense. In this win/win relationship between Congress & Israel, the loser is always the US Taxpayer who gets robbed year after year because we do not have anyone representing our interests. Not only do we fund a foreign country’s industry but we handover US advanced technology to Israeli companies who use it to develop advanced weapons that they market and sell for profit and often times to countries that are not friendly to the U.S. such as China. If whistleblowers of DOD’s Cooperative Programs come out to talk about specific stories, the public would be 🤯 Finally, the $4 Billion per year ($500 Million of which is for RDT&E) that we give to Israel is marketed to the U.S. taxpayer as a win for US industry because it creates American jobs. This is not entirely true. In the case of Iron Beam, Rafael & Elbit are Israeli companies whose RDT&E is located in Israel & staffed with Israelis. Even Iron Beam US partner Lockheed Martin provides its contribution to the program through its Israel location which employs Israelis. So in summary, 🔹Congress Gives Israel $500 Million/per year of taxpayer money so Israel companies can take our Advanced technology 🔹Israel companies use the Advanced Tech to develop their own technology that they market and sell to other foreign countries, some of which are not friendly to US 🔹Congress pays Israel Gov an additional $1.2Billion to purchase Iron Beam from Israel companies Rafael/Elbit 🔹US Gov plans to purchase Iron Beam (which we could’ve developed ourselves) 🔹Israel mil tech companies become leaders in laser weapons technology 🔹Israelis benefit from employment from these programs, the US does not.

🚨BREAKING REALITY CHECK 🇺🇸 American MILITARY LASERS REIGNS A viral video is circulating claiming the United States just used a “space-based laser weapon” against Iran. Let’s separate fact from hype. Yes… the U.S. military is using laser technology in this conflict. But not the kind being claimed in that video. The system actually deployed is HELIOS… a ship-mounted high-energy laser on U.S. Navy destroyers. It is designed to shoot down drones like Iran’s Shahed UAVs using concentrated energy beams. Why does that matter? Because each laser shot costs only electricity… while intercepting drones with missiles can cost millions of dollars per shot. That makes HELIOS a powerful defensive tool against large drone swarms. But the viral clip claiming “space lasers turning the sky blue and blasting fireballs into space” is almost certainly misidentified footage of conventional weapons. What you’re likely seeing in those explosions are things like: Cruise missile strikes Fuel or ammunition detonations Drone intercept explosions Or missile defense intercepts The United States Space Force does play a role… but it’s through satellites detecting missile launches using infrared tracking, not orbital laser weapons. In short… Yes… America is deploying advanced directed-energy weapons. No… there is no confirmed evidence of space-based laser strikes in this conflict. The real takeaway is still impressive. Modern warfare is changing fast… and low-cost laser defense is already proving devastating against drone swarms. But the viral “space laser apocalypse” claims are hype, not verified military technology in use right now. Always verify before amplifying. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove
