铁束：以色列的激光防御系统运行 - 安全时代？

以色列的铁束激光防御系统（现称为“或Eitan”）正在运作，标志着战争革命，低成本拦截火箭，无人机等。

Israel's Iron Beam: A Laser-Focused Leap in Defense

以色列的铁束：以激光为重点的防守飞跃

The Iron Beam, now known as "Or Eitan" (Strong Light), has been declared operational. This marks a significant step in Israel's defense capabilities, promising a new era of cost-effective and precise threat interception.

铁梁，现在称为“或eitan”（强光），已被宣布为操作。这标志着以色列的防御能力迈出了重要一步，这是一个具有成本效益和精确威胁拦截的新时代。

What is Iron Beam?

什么是铁束？

Iron Beam is a high-power laser system designed to intercept short-range threats such as rockets, mortars, drones, and loitering munitions. Developed by the Ministry of Defense’s DDR&D and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, it's intended to complement existing systems like Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow.

铁梁是一种高功率激光系统，旨在拦截火箭，迫击炮，无人机和游泳弹药等短距离威胁。由国防部的DDR＆D和拉斐尔先进的国防系统开发，旨在补充现有系统，例如Iron Dome，David's Sling和Arrow。

Why is it a game-changer?

为什么会改变游戏规则？

The key advantage of Iron Beam is its low cost per intercept. While Iron Dome interceptor missiles cost around $50,000 each, Iron Beam can neutralize threats for just a few shekels. This dramatically alters the economic equation of warfare, making it far more sustainable to defend against frequent attacks.

铁梁的主要优点是每拦截成本低。虽然铁圆顶拦截导弹的价格约为每张50,000美元，但铁梁可以仅需几张shekel即可消除威胁。这极大地改变了战争的经济方程式，使防御频繁攻击更加可持续。

Operational Deployment and Testing

操作部署和测试

The system has undergone rigorous testing at the Shdema facility in southern Israel, successfully intercepting a variety of threats. Operational prototypes have already been deployed during the Iron Swords War, demonstrating their effectiveness against rockets and drones from Hezbollah.

该系统在以色列南部的Shdema设施进行了严格的测试，成功拦截了各种威胁。在《铁剑战争》中已经部署了操作原型，证明了它们对真主党的火箭和无人机的有效性。

"Or Eitan": A Name with Meaning

“或eitan”：有意义的名称

The system's new name, "Or Eitan," honors Capt. Eitan Oster, the first Israeli soldier killed during operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. Oster's father even participated in the system's development, adding a poignant layer to its significance.

该系统的新名称“或Eitan”尊敬Eitan Oster上尉，这是在黎巴嫩南部对真主党的行动中杀害的第一批以色列士兵。奥斯特（Oster）的父亲甚至参加了该系统的开发，使其具有重要意义。

A Global First

全球第一

Israel is now the first nation to possess a fully operational high-power laser interception system. Defense Minister Israel Katz emphasized that this achievement places Israel at the forefront of global military technology. The system will be integrated into IDF air defense arrays by the end of the year.

以色列现在是第一个拥有完全运行的高功率激光拦截系统的国家。国防部长以色列卡茨强调，这项成就将以色列置于全球军事技术的最前沿。该系统将在今年年底之前集成到IDF防空阵列中。

Looking Ahead

展望未来

While the systems themselves are expensive to manufacture, the low cost per intercept makes Iron Beam a cost-effective solution in the long run. It’s a revolutionary technology that could redefine the battlefield.

尽管系统本身的制造成本昂贵，但每次拦截的低成本从长远来看使铁梁成为具有成本效益的解决方案。这是一项革命性的技术，可以重新定义战场。

Final Thoughts

最后的想法

So, what does this all mean? Simply put, Israel is leveling up its defense game with lasers. It's like going from using expensive baseballs to swatting flies to having a bug zapper – efficient, effective, and oh-so-satisfying. The future of defense is here, and it’s looking pretty bright (pun intended!).

那么，这全是什么意思？简而言之，以色列正在用激光升级其防御游戏。这就像从使用昂贵的棒球到吹蝇到拥有一个虫子Zapper（高效，有效且令人满意）一样。防御的未来就在这里，而且看起来很亮（双关语！）。
