Why does Israel Have Anti-Missile Lasers Operational and Deployed in the Battlefield and We Do Not
Could it be the cost of firing a laser is $5, while the cost of every Patriot Missile fired is $5.3 million.

But an anti-missile laser and anti-drone laser would eliminate targets that do not need a Patriot missile — and they would be eliminated instead of not firing a Patriot missile, and allowing the drones to be “let through.’
