Pentagon Confirms: High-Energy LASERS Hitting Drones in Middle East

The Pentagon this morning has confirmed that High-Energy LASERS are being used in the Strait of Hormuz to take down Iranian drones and incoming cruise missiles at a fraction of the cost of traditional interceptors.

At the same time, the technology is being tested against cartel drones along the U.S. southern border.

The Army has awarded a $500 million contract for “war-ready” high-energy lasers. Operators are even using reconfigured Xbox controllers to aim them.

After decades of development, directed-energy weapons are finally moving from the lab to the battlefield.
