Israel is preparing to deploy its cutting-edge Iron Beam laser defense system within the next two months, Reuters reports. The system, developed as a complement to the Iron Dome, uses high-energy lasers to intercept aerial threats like drones and rockets at the speed of light.

A recently released video showcased successful nighttime tests, capturing the Iron Beam shooting down drone targets in a desert environment. Defense officials say the system will significantly reduce interception costs and bolster Israel’s layered air defense network.
