The US is trying to buy it from Israel.

Despite what you think, their defense industry is pretty advanced. They spend more per capita on defense than the US.

So you don't think that the money we give them allows them to spend money elsewhere? Again, we paid for it - maybe not directly, but our taxes allowed them to send funds towards this project.

We’ve been working with laser missile defense stuff for a fair amount of time, pretty sure it was ship based. Not sure where we are now with it.
