I think we're not as now where we need to be in terms of capacity and all that.

But I do think it seems to be the way of the future.

I think the iron beam is the Israeli laser weapon and that apparently is being used in this effort.

So I guess we're finding out how effective it is.

And as far as I know, Israel is doing pretty well in terms of.

getting rid of all most of the missiles coming in and it does seem like it's the most promising method they have and i know we've been testing some things in texas around those areas to shoot down drones um so it does seem like we're moving in that direction but i think um

From what I understand, some of this is being done with satellites too.

We're not shooting them down from space, but just detecting launches and things like that and being able to target things pretty precisely.

But I think at this point, we're still shooting things down with Patriot missiles and things like that.

So I think we still have a ways to go to get more efficient.

Because I think one of the problems right now is it's so asymmetric.

You have maybe a $50,000 shot head

drone, and we're shooting it down with a million dollar missile.

So that doesn't really make sustainable sense over a longer period of time, I still think we're going to come out on top on this one, because I think we've pretty much taken out their capability to even launch things.

But, you know, in terms of longer term, where things are headed, I think we need to get better with the lasers and other things to be able to put up some kind of real defense against drones.

Well, we're talking about drones.

So let me throw in that there's the world's first bamboo fiber drone that reached 62 miles an hour in its first test flight in China.

So they made a, it's one of the fixed wing, you know, like plane style drones.

But the wingspan is like eight feet, two inches.

It only weighs 15 pounds.
