Collin Rugg @CollinRugg 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 as low as $2 (WSJ).
The beam uses 100kW of power, 100 times more power than an average home uses.
Directed Energy Weapons are a Conspiracy Theory though. Right?
Shhhhhhh! You'll get a week off!
I got a week off for " overuse of brackets" KEK
To be fair, DEWs being used to raze cities to the ground is a conspiracy theory. DEWs being used to shoot missiles or rockets out of the air is publicly acknowledged existing technology.
Another conspiracy denialist! How do you do?
I never denied the conspiracy theory. Simply stated that it is one.
A conspiracy denialist is one who denies that conspiracies exist and that any mention of a real conspiracy brings out the accusation of conspiracy theory.
As to DEW weapons in orbit, please see the comment by greekish further down on this thread.
