Correct Answer : Option (A) - Israel



Israel successfully tested a new laser missile-defence system "Iron Beam" which can destroy any airborne object including drones. Iron Beam is the world’s first energy-based weapons system that uses a laser beam to shoot down incoming UAVs, rockets, mortars, long-range missiles, anti-tank missiles etc. The Iron Beam which is developed by the Rafael Advanced Defense Systems is using a directed-energy weapon system and can go a long way in providing aerial defence.
 
How it works Iron Beam :
 
* Iron Beam works on a fibre laser system to destroy any airborne object.
* Iron Dome defense system has been a great success, with a 90% interception rate against incoming rocket fire.
