They have the iron dome, and now they just started using something they called the iron beam, directed energy to defend themselves.

That is a great cost curve for defenders.

And I hope that we start utilizing those types of capabilities here at home and then in our interest around the world as well.

Well, that is General John Tigert.

And I spoke to him yesterday. I'm Fox and Friends

too. I asked him about the iron beam. It's a laser. And why do people reluctant to admit they have it?

I'm not sure. I'm about to find out. But Israel's evidently using it. What could be more

cost-effective than that? Ari Sosher joins us now. Israeli rocket scientist, three decades of experience

on anti-missile technology, including the Iron Dome, senior policy advisor to the U.S. and

Israeli Education Association. Mani, you're busy now. Ari, first off, are you concerned about the

number of interceptors we have available from the Gulf states to the state of Israel?

Everybody's concerned. Nobody knows the real numbers, but everybody's concerned about the rate in which they're being fired.

Iran is firing off between 200 and 400 of these Shahahead drones that carry about 50 kilo of high

explosives. They cost about $35,000. And we're shooting them down with Patriots, with all sorts

of other stuff. It costs a couple of million dollars a shot. So do the math. I mean, you're

worried about how many of your interceptors you have, and you're worried about how much it's costing you. So they're real, they're legitimate. We just don't know the answer to that. Oh, they're 100% legit. I mean, these things, I mean, they do damage. You've seen what happens when they, when they aren't shot down. They took out a Ramcoe and Saudi. They took out radar, a U.S. radar in Bahrain. We're taking out all sorts of stuff. I mean, we get these Israelis here in Israel, we're lucky because we got a lot of time before they get to us to pick them up on the radar and shoot them down while they're still over places like, I don't know, Jordan, Saudi. But the people that are closer, they've got a lot of problems. Yeah.

What about the beam, this laser beam?

Could you tell me what the theory is behind it?

Yeah, iron beam.

It's like it's out there.

I call it not hit to kill, but heat to kill.

So we just focus the laser beam on a bad boy.
