First Generation Laser Energy Weapons Sent to the Middle East by U.S. Military

In an article published yesterday (March 1, 2024) US Army General James Mingus stated that the US Military sent four Stryker-mounted 50-kilowatt laser prototypes to the Middle East last month.

Early last month, the US Army sent four Stryker-mounted 50-kilowatt laser prototypes to the Middle East for real-world testing that includes facing down dust particles, the service’s new vice chief, Gen. James Mingus, revealed to Breaking Defense.

“It’s a prototype, but we want to experiment in a live environment,” Mingus said Wednesday in his first interview since being sworn in as the vice-chief in January. “Is it 100 percent ready? Is it going to work perfectly? Probably not, but we’re going to learn from it.”

At a breakfast in February, Army Chief Gen. Randy George said the US Central Command (CENTCOM) region is aligned to receive new counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) as part of his new “transforming in contact” push where users, developers and testers can converge and provide feedback. Part of that initiative seemingly includes the Directed Energy Maneuver Short-Range Air Defense (DE M-SHORAD) prototype that integrates a 50-kilowatt laser onto Strykers to down class 1 to 3 aerial drones and incoming rockets, artillery and mortars.

Four of those prototypes arrived in CENTCOM’s area of operations in early February, and the service has begun initial testing activities but not live-fire ones. Once they do, Mingus surmised that it may take several months to process observations that could fuel tech maturation and acquisition decisions. (Source.)

This was the best video I found that explains the technology behind the DE M-SHORAD laser weapons. (Note: there is an in-video commercial for men's underwear you might want to fast forward through.)

I found it interesting this morning that as I did a search on this announcement, it appears that not a single U.S. corporate media outlet covered this story, although the Russian media did. It appears that only military websites in the U.S. covered this story.

Could the reason be that the U.S. military is trying to intimidate Russia while keeping most Americans in the dark about these new energy weapons, while they push narratives about UFOs, China air balloons, and other such “news” stories?

The announcement about the deployment of these experimental laser weapons did not mention which country they were deployed to in the Middle East, but my best guess would be Saudi Arabia, where they would have the kind of desert conditions needed to test these, in a country that is friendly with the U.S. and all too willing to purchase weapons of mass destruction.

While this military announcement claimed that these were prototypes not ready for combat yet, it does confirm that military contractors do possess direct energy weapons that the U.S. Government is testing. These Stryker-mounted 50-kilowatt lasers are being advertised as a more cost effective way to intercept and destroy drones and other weapons for a fraction of the cost of current anti-aircraft defense systems, where the U.S. military can spend up to a $million or more to destroy simple drones and other weapons that only cost hundreds of dollars.

While Pentagon leaders note the need for such weapons, they are also grappling with the per-kill cost of launching kinetic interceptors that can be in the millions of dollars.

If directed energy ones like the DE M-SHORAD prove fruitful in mass, it offers a window for significantly lowering that per-unit kill price point and/or providing commanders with a mix of kinetic and directed energy C-UASs to use depending on the threat set or weather conditions. (Source.)

Isn't it amazing that the military knows exactly how much your life is worth as they have the data and technology to calculate your “per-unit kill price point”, and yet the Pentagon claims that it doesn't have the data and technology to track its own budget and show where all the $billions they spend on weapons of mass destruction go?

Despite being given half of the entire federal government’s discretionary spending each year, the Department of Defense doesn’t take even the most basic steps to avoid and investigate fraud, a new bombshell report finds.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) found in a report commissioned by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) that the Pentagon — the only federal agency that’s never passed an audit — has repeatedly failed to properly respond to fraud, despite having thousands of fraud cases in recent years, and despite previous fraud prevention recommendations by GAO investigators.

According to interviews with Pentagon officials and analyses of over 4,700 criminal fraud investigations from between 2015 and 2021, the Pentagon fails to employ simple anti-fraud data analytics methods like comparing publicly available data and information to internal intelligence, and in fact regularly doesn’t even pursue publicly available intelligence in cases where it would be necessary.

The fact is that while we the people fund the U.S. military, we have no clue as to how that money is being spent, as the private military contractors grow rich through funding wars and promoting acts of mass murder and genocide all over the world.

Weapon Manufacturers Record Skyrocketing Profits From US Arm Sales in 2022

War has always been big business in the United States. According to the seminal anti-war essay “War is a Racket,” gunpowder manufacturer Du Ponts saw their profits increase by more than 950% during The Great War.

US arms sales to other countries skyrocketed in 2022, providing a tidy sum of profits for weapon manufacturers, according to data released by the State Department on Wednesday.
US weapon sales to other countries, largely driven by NATO’s response to Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine and increased tensions in Asia, jumped from $35.8 billion in 2021 to $51.9 billion in 2022.

Direct weapon sales from US-based weapon manufacturers also saw a massive increase, jumping from $103.4 billion in 2021 to $153.7 billion in 2022. (Source.)

So where else might we see new energy weapons being tested? Some have suggested that they are being used to cause “wildfires” such as in Maui last year.

Last year we published a report from an alleged whistleblower who worked for Raytheon at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory located at the South Pole, where he claimed experiments were conducted to cause earthquakes. See:

Whistleblower Claims Antarctica IceCube Laboratory has Energy Weapons that Can Cause Earthquakes

The existence of energy weapons is most certainly not a conspiracy theory. But what we (the general public) do not know is just how far this technology has developed, and where all these experiments might be happening, since that is not public information, nor is how advanced Chinese and Russian military direct energy weapons have developed public knowledge.
