Iron Beam Laser Complex will come to Israel's army for the first

To spread: Israel, together with Rafael, refined the high -power Iron Beam laser system ("Iron Ray"), which will come into the army in the near future. The Ministry of Defense showed staff of the new air defense system, which knocks away the Iranian drones "Shahamed" and other dangerous goals. Military factories have set up mass production of laser Iron Beam air defense complexes, the Israeli Defense Ministry reported on Facebook.

The Defense Army will soon receive installations that have proven efficiency in the destruction of air goals of different types. Estimated timing - by the end of 2025. The post of Israel's Ministry of Defense appeared on the network on September 17. It is explained that the department, along with the Air Force and Rafael, checked the work of Iron Beam. After a series of tests, they were convinced that the installation works effectively and capable of knocking down different goals.

In the video published by the Israelites, we see examples of effective laser weapons. Among other things, Iranian drones "Shahamed" were set on fire at an unpaid height. In addition, the ray knocked out mortar shells, missiles and even planes, the video of the Israelites is evidenced. "The system has proven effective against various threats and has successfully intercepted rockets, firearms and UAVs. The first systems will be fixed in the tacha by the end of the year," the Defense Ministry said.

The department specified that Elbit Systems, which is engaged in the manufacture of combat lasers, was involved in the development. It is also stated that the newest system will receive its own name - "Oritan": in honor of Eitan Oster's fighter from the "Egoz" unit of Tahal, who died in the battles in southern Lebanon. Rafael has confirmed the completion of work on Iron Beam.

On the social network X there are footage of work of the laser installation: how the complex unfold in the middle of the desert and how it knocks down the air targets. It is indicated that Iron Beam 450 knocks objects with "unsurpassed speed, accuracy and almost zero value of one attack. " "Iron Beam 450 provides extended range, faster response time and scalability on land, sea and in the air," the company's post reads.

The Militarist portal said that the cost of the agreement for the supply of laser air defense and ABA, concluded in 2024, is $ 200 million. It turned out that the main advantage of the newest system is the low cost of killing the target. For comparison, the price of the Tamir Iron Dome Tamir is $ 60 thousand, and the price of Iron Beam shot is a few dollars. It should be noted that the focus wrote about the features of the laser weapon Iron Beam, which will soon receive a tsakhal.
