以色列軍方宣布在加薩戰爭期間，首次成功使用高功率雷射系統攔截約40架無人機，成為全球首個在實戰中運用雷射武器的國家。 這些無人機主要來自黎巴嫩的真主黨，攔截行動由以色列空軍新成立的戰術防空營執行，該營隸屬於以色列國防軍北方司令部。

此次使用的雷射系統由以色列拉斐爾先進防禦系統公司（Rafael Advanced Defense Systems）開發，屬於「鐵束」（Iron Beam）計畫的一部分。 該系統以高能雷射束摧毀目標，單次攔截成本僅數美元，遠低於傳統飛彈系統的數萬美元。 然而，雷射武器的效能可能受到天氣條件如濕度和煙霧的影響，且需大量電力和精密的目標追蹤系統。

以色列國防部表示，這些雷射系統將整合進現有的多層次防空網絡，包括「鐵穹」（Iron Dome）和「大衛之彈」（David’s Sling）等系統，以提升對無人機等低成本空中威脅的防禦能力。

🔍 三大觀察重點

1. 雷射武器實戰應用的里程碑
   以色列成為全球首個在實戰中成功使用雷射武器攔截無人機的國家，標誌著軍事科技的重要突破。
2. 成本效益顯著提升防禦能力
   雷射系統每次攔截成本僅數美元，遠低於傳統飛彈，提供更經濟的防空解決方案。
3. 技術限制需持續克服
   雷射武器的效能可能受天氣影響，且需大量電力和精密追蹤系統，未來需持續優化以提升可靠性。

Israel Claims Successful Drone Interceptions with High-Power Lasers

Israeli military announced the first successful use of high-power laser systems to intercept approximately 40 drones during the Gaza war, making Israel the first country to employ laser weapons in active combat. The drones, primarily from Hezbollah in Lebanon, were intercepted by the Israeli Air Force’s newly established tactical air defense battalion under the IDF’s Northern Command.

The laser systems, developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, are part of the “Iron Beam” project. These systems use high-energy laser beams to destroy targets, with each interception costing only a few dollars, significantly less than traditional missile systems. However, the effectiveness of laser weapons can be affected by environmental conditions such as humidity and smoke, and they require substantial power and precise targeting systems.

The Israeli Ministry of Defense stated that these laser systems will be integrated into the existing multi-layered air defense network, including systems like Iron Dome and David’s Sling, to enhance defense capabilities against low-cost aerial threats like drones.

🔍 Three Key Takeaways

1. Milestone in Operational Use of Laser Weapons
   Israel becomes the first country to successfully use laser weapons in combat to intercept drones, marking a significant advancement in military technology.
2. Cost-Effective Enhancement of Defense Capabilities
   With interception costs of only a few dollars per use, laser systems offer a more economical solution compared to traditional missile defenses.
3. Technical Challenges Remain
   The performance of laser weapons can be limited by environmental factors and require significant power and precise tracking systems, necessitating ongoing improvements for reliability.
