For the first time in the history of military technology, laser weapons have destroyed aerial targets in combat, reports futurezone. According to the Israeli army, dozens of Hezbollah drones were shot down with the laser built by the armaments company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. Many countries are currently working on laser weapons for air defense. While most of them are still in the test phase, Israel claims to be the first country in the world to have successfully used such a laser in combat.

Laser system from "Iron Beam" developer Rafael

However, this is not Iron Beam, which is intended to supplement Israel's Iron Dome missile-based defense system in the future. The name of the laser system is still a secret. All that is known is that it was developed by the Israeli company Rafael. Rafael is also behind Iron Beam. The company has confirmed the combat deployment on X, but is also not giving any names or details about the system.

According to the Israeli army, the laser is being used against Hezbollah drones in the north of the country. The size and type of the drones, and whether the laser also intercepted rockets and grenades, is not known. A video by Rafael shows the shooting down of a drone that Hezbollah has already used against Israel several times. It is likely to be an Iranian Shahed 101 or a variant of it. Depending on the version, this kamikaze drone can carry 8 to 10 kg of explosives and has a range of up to 900 km.

Weapon has hit drone wing

In the video, the laser specifically targeted the wings of the drone. The more important targets would be the warhead or the engine, because the drone would either explode in the air or crash immediately. However, the wing is thinner and therefore less protected against the laser. This indicates that the power of the laser may be too low to reliably destroy the vital points of a slightly larger fixed-wing drone.

According to futurezone, this in turn suggests that the laser has an output in the range of 30 to 50 kilowatts. By comparison, Iron Beam, when operational, is said to have at least 100 kW of power to destroy drones, missiles and grenades up to 10 km away.

$DRO (+5,88 %) DroneShield - my small bet on a big topic for the future

Last week, I took my first mini position in DroneShield (DRO) - deliberately risky, deliberately with play money. But sometimes that's exactly what you need if you want to get in on an exciting story early on.

Why this particular company?

DroneShield develops technologies to defend against and detect drones - a market that is becoming increasingly relevant due to geopolitical tensions, security concerns and military applications. And that's exactly where I see the future.

The figures that made me curious:

The company is growing enormously: turnover +170 % year-on-year - that's a strong sign for a young tech company.

The profit quality also fits: high gross margin of over 70%, i.e. efficient management despite the size of the company.

The valuation based on growth (PEG ratio below 0.7) is attractive in my view.

And the balance sheet also makes an impression: hardly any debt, very solid for a company in the growth phase.

In addition, the ratio of growth to profitability is right - a balanced mix that I classify as "healthy growth".

Of course, this is not a "safe bank". Turnover is still comparatively low, the share is volatile - but that's precisely why I only entered with a small position.

Conclusion: For me, this is a speculative investment with a very exciting business model. I'll stay tuned - let's see what happens.

What do $HIMS (-1,12 %)
$4X0 (-3,1 %)
$DEZ (-2,21 %)
$DRO (+5,88 %) have in common? Right, hype stocks that rise abnormally and then plummet. It's fascinating how many people fall into FOMO and hope to make a quick buck when they know they're too late. Of course, there are always shareholders who win and they are more than welcome to do so, but 99% of people lose money. It's hard to imagine them putting their money into an ETF every time instead of trying to ride the hype. Why is the greed so great in many people 🤔

Hi folks,

wanted to ask you for your opinion regarding $DRO (+5,88 %) about?

I think the market they have in front of them is very exciting!

The fact that both Vanguard and State Street are now in with ~5% makes me very positive!

Maybe some of you would like to share your opinion with me or even discuss this stock a bit!

I'm looking forward to it😊

$DRO (+5,88 %) What do you think of Droneshield in the long term? Are you invested? Do you think it is heading back towards 1-2 euros?
