The Israeli company Rafael is at the final stage of creating the Iron Beam laser complex, designed to strengthen the country's air defense.

We became the first company in the world to introduce a working laser product of this kind. Despite all the difficulties, we fulfill our obligations. This is a significant world-class achievement.

- the management of Rafael gave its explanations to the Globes publication.

The timing of the start of operation of the system was also announced: the delivery of the first IDF complex is scheduled for the current year.

The Iron Beam is designed to complement existing defense platforms such as the Iron Dome, and has a significant cost advantage when using weapons. While the cost of each interception by the Iron Dome is estimated at about $30,000, for the Iron Ray it is $1,000.

The first Israeli Army order for the Iron Beam was placed in October 2024 at a cost of about $200 million. First of all, the complex is planned to be used to counter enemy drones.

Operating at the speed of light, the Iron Beam has unlimited ammunition, almost zero interception costs, and causes minimal collateral damage.

- they say in Rafael.

For our part, we note that the Iron Beam will not be the first combat laser system to enter the army. Thus, the Russian Peresvet has been in service since 2017. Moreover, compared to the Israeli system, it is mobile and accompanies the Strategic Missile Forces equipment, being equipped with a number of missile formations.
