Lasers do have a drawback right now. They need time to focus on the targets they are shooting at and lasers do not always have that time. Lasers and directed energy weapons as I think they are called also have trouble with hypersonic missiles. Lasers want to focus at the nose of a missile to take it out. Well the faster a missile travels it build up heat and gets real hot at the nose naturally and the more heat is at the nose of something the harder it is for lasers to focus on and track the target. That’s a pretty basic breakdown of how it works. I have forgot and left out some info. A ton of videos exist online explaining this tech and it’s very interesting. We have a long way to go yet to have Star Wars laser rifles and light sabers but we are closer than what I thought before I watched that video. It’s going to be pretty cool tech once it gets worked out.
The Achilles Heel for missiles is that the thrust from their engines combine with air around them to create new certain element particles that can be seen with special sensors and filters. These greatly aid in the tracking of hypersonic engines. This a relatively exciting new discovery being analyzed so that satellites can more quickly "see" and track the missiles moving at speeds of up to 26,000 mph.

How would you feel if Israel rounded up every “Palestinian” and executed them man woman and child? Because that is what would effectively end Israeli dependence on US military money. The rest of the region would publicly dream and demand vengeance but would quietly thank them.

Are you ok with that and Israel actually controlling and using its land free of terrorist activities by “Palestinian” interference.
