🇺🇸🇮🇱🇶🇦🇰🇼🇦🇪 The United States has approved arms sales worth over $8.6 billion to its Middle East allies — including Israel, Qatar, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates — ahead of a possible resumption of military operations against Iran in the near future. 💰 According to the military package: 1Qatar is purchasing $4.01 billion worth of MIM-104 Patriot air defense system missiles (PAC-3/PAC-3 MSE) + $992 million worth of APKWS laser-guided air-to-air missiles for shooting down Iranian Shahed drones (possibly also for ground platforms such as VAMPIRE systems). 2Kuwait is buying a $2.5 billion fire control system — likely for the THAAD-type anti-missile system. 3Israel is purchasing $992 million worth of APKWS laser-guided anti-drone missiles. 4The United Arab Emirates will acquire $147 million worth of APKWS laser-guided anti-aircraft missiles. 🎯 In total, the aforementioned countries will purchase 60,000 APKWS laser-guided air defense missiles to shoot down Iranian Shahed-type kamikaze drones (with an effective range of 11–12 km when launched from aircraft and 5–6 km from ground-based complexes). Their effectiveness has been proven in the Ukraine-Russia war, the 12-day war, and the first round of this year’s military campaign against Iran. Video is generated by grok AI

Israel is taking the Iron Beam laser to the skies. Following the launch of the land based Iron Beam, Elbit Systems has secured a major contract to integrate high-power airborne laser systems, XCalibur pods on fighter jets and Sting systems on helicopters. This next-generation directed energy weapon will intercept drones and missiles mid-flight at extremely low cost, giving the Israeli Air Force unprecedented aerial dominance. This isn’t science fiction anymore. It’s Israeli innovation turning lasers into a game-changing defense tool. From the lab to protecting the skies, Startup Nation at it again. (VIDEO FOR CONCEPT ONLY) Proud every single day. 🇮🇱 #StartupNation #IsraeliInnovation #IronBeam #DirectedEnergy #AirDefense

🇮🇱Elbit Systems is developing an airborne high-power laser interception system as the next generation of air defense following the Iron Beam. The system is planned to be installed on fighter aircraft or helicopters and will be able to intercept incoming missiles and drones outside Israel’s airspace. Compared with ground-based laser systems, it offers greater mobility and the ability to engage targets both above and below cloud cover. The core technology combines multiple fiber lasers into a single high-power laser source, while enabling stable airborne targeting and precise engagement. Its accuracy has been described as “hitting a coin from 10 kilometers away.” Israel aims to eventually establish a squadron of laser-equipped aircraft that could rapidly take off during large-scale attacks and use low-cost laser interceptions to neutralize large numbers of incoming threats. The capability is expected to gradually become operational within the next few years. source:

🇺🇦🇷🇺UKRAINE SAYS A NEW LASER WEAPON COULD ENTER SERVICE WITHIN MONTHS. Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Andrii Lebedenko says Kyiv expects to field a laser system capable of destroying aerial targets more effectively than machine guns within the next two to three months. The new directed-energy weapon is designed to intercept drones and other airborne threats with far greater precision, speed, and efficiency than conventional gun-based systems. If deployed successfully, the system could significantly strengthen Ukraine’s short-range air defense network, reducing ammunition costs and giving frontline units a powerful new tool against increasingly frequent drone attacks.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 America Is Putting Its New Laser Weapon Into Mass Production The U.S. Army has awarded a $464.8 million contract for AeroVironment’s LOCUST X3, a 30-kilowatt high;energy laser built to destroy enemy drones. Dozens of systems are expected to enter service, giving U.S. forces a potentially far cheaper way to defeat drone swarms without firing expensive interceptor missiles. America is turning battlefield laser technology into a real weapon at scale, and the drone war is about to get much harder for its enemies.

Holly shit❗️ Mark Carney thinks our effective carbon price is too low; "The effective carbon price in this country is actually quite low relative to the headline price,in the $20 to $30 range in most Canadian markets. And that's something we're working to rectify." The industrial carbon tax price increased to $110 this year, with a plan to increase it to a minimum of $130 and all the way to $170 around 2030. Do you understand how MASSIVE the increase to these levels will be to cost of things in Canada and how uncompetitive our industries will be!?
