The Israeli Defense Forces (IED) have announced the reactivation of the Israeli Air Force 144th Phoenix Squadron, revealing that it will operate Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) and deploy new and advanced technologies focused on intelligence collection.
The original Phoenix squadron was established in 1972 as a combat squadron that flew Kfir and F-16 fighter jets over the years. In 2005 the squadron was closed. Now re-established as an RPAS squadron, it will operate out of the Hazor base in northern Israel.
The Phoenix squadron will be the first to operate the “Spark,” a new and advanced aircraft, which is a part of the “Storm Clouds” array that will be established in the IDF. The exact nature of these systems remains classified.
During a launching ceremony on August 1, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Col. Aviv Kochavi said the new squadron is “more innovative in all its forms of operation, as a squadron has never been established in the Air Force for multi-armed needs.”
“We need a squadron because the reality on the ground is changing, the enemy is in the urban space and is more difficult to locate,” he said.
On August 2, the IDF said in a statement that the “Storm Clouds” array, with the “Spark” at its center, is “expected to provide capabilities to the air and ground forces, to produce information fusion, quick closing of circuits and operational effectiveness.”
“This is a new and groundbreaking capability that will change the face of the battlefield and be the opening gate to the fifth generation of the drone world,” the statement reads.
The IDF have been developing and operating drones since the 1970s. Today, Israel has one of the largest drone fleets in the Middle East and is among the region’s biggest exporters of drone technology.
Very recently, Israel’s military censors lifted a ban on reporting the IDF’s use of armed drones, ending the country’s worst-kept secrets.

It is good entertainment to know that Jews and Arabs are being killed in the tens of thousands.
