Laser Weapons Deployed In Middle-East

 The New York Post reports: "Laser weapons deployed in Operation Epic Fury, as Space Force stops Iran’s missiles in their tracks." The article is mostly about what the Space Force is doing to help stop Iranian missile launches and identify the locations of its missile launchers. But it also mentions reports of laser weapons being used to destroy drones, mentioned unconfirmed reports that Israel has used its new Iron Beam weapon, "an advanced laser able to disable rockets and defend territory"; and that the U.S. Navy has deployed a destroyer outfitted with the High-Energy Laser with Integrated Optical Dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS) system.

    1. At this point, they are basically the same stage as cannon in the 14th Century. The next war will be where they really start to make a difference.
