🇮🇱🇮🇷Israel Supplied UAE With ‘Iron Beam’ Laser To Counter Iran
Israel dispatched a version of the Iron Beam laser-based air defense system to the United Arab Emirates during the war with Iran to help protect the Gulf nation from missile and drone attacks, according to the Financial Times reported on April 30.
The #IronBeam was developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems to destroy short-range rockets, artillery, and mortar bombs. In addition, the system could also intercept drones. The base version of the system is reported to have a range up to ten kilometers.
The Financial Times also revealed that Israel sent a surveillance system known as #Spectro to help detect Iranian drones from up to 20 kilometers away, with a regional official saying the deployment of the advanced weaponry shows “the value of being Israel’s friend.”
Spectro likely refers to a series of electro-optical systems used for both surveillance and targeting developed by #Elbit Systems.
