In short: A high-energy laser like Iron Beam fires for a few dollars a shot, so people assume it makes interceptor missiles obsolete. It does not. Weather, beam dwell time, and single-target focus keep older systems in the mix for years. The pitch sounds final. A laser costs roughly three to five dollars per engagement, a Tamir interceptor runs tens of thousands, so the math looks settled. Retire the expensive rockets and let photons do the work. That story collapses the moment a rain cloud rolls in. קראו גם: The single dome you imagine protecting a city does not exist…
