Default Israel Unveils the Heron TP Drones

Game on ...

Israel Unveils Drones Able to Hit Iran - NYTimes.com

Quote:
Israel’s Air Force on Sunday introduced a fleet of huge pilotless planes that can remain in the air for a full day and fly as far as the Persian Gulf, putting Iran within their range.

The new aircraft, called the Heron TP, has a wingspan of 86 feet, making it the size of a Boeing 737 jetliner and the largest unmanned aircraft in Israel’s military.
I figured an Aljazeera link would prove useful here.

Al Jazeera English - Middle East - Israel drones 'could target Iran'

"I can tell you, it can do a lot of missions. It can do some special missions, unique missions that no other UAV [Unmanned Aerial Vehicle] can do," Lieutenant Colonel Eyal Asenheim, a drone operator, told The Associated Press news agency.

Brigadier General Amikam Norkin, the head of the base that will operate the drones, said: "With the inauguration of the Heron TP, we are realising the air force's dream.
"The Heron TP is a technological and operational breakthrough."

Isaiah 17 (King James Version)

Isaiah 17
1The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

2The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

3The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.

Psalm 83 (King James Version)

Psalm 83
1Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

4They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

6The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

9Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

10Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

11Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

12Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

13O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

14As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

15So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

16Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

17Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

18That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

Oh yes the Machatz-1. Another weapon of war staged from some basement in a clandestine location that enables the operator to be detached from his weapon of destruction... I want to kill, I want to kill..

Similar to our drone system controlled from North Dakota... without regard for the anti war rhetoric, wonder how much of our 2.55 billion in aid to Israel paid for this system..

Lot of whining about how the US spends money, foreign aid is often overlooked except by those on K St.

Looks to me like that drone would get swatted out of the sky by a fighter from the early part of WW2, let alone the late, not to mention the advanced SAM systems out there today. They'd better have a lot of them.

Todays "Far Left Wing Liberal" would love to see Little Israel tremble and cower in fear like a scared rabbit while that friggin Iranian Creep or some other Middle East Allah worshiping savage bloodthirsty country Nuked and killed every Jew in the Middle East.

Not to long ago America's liberals were great friends of the Jews, What Happened.........

No, maybe it has something to do with our contribution of 2.5 Billion towards the Israel War Machine.. maybe there would be less sabre rattling, if there were less sabres...
