Skylark small-sized reconnaissance UAVs are in service with the IDF for tactical purposes. The are often used for reconnaissance support of the ground forces. The IDF uses Skylark miniature UAVs to collect information in southern Syria.
Skylarks are manufactured by Silver Arrow, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems. UAVs of this type are equipped with an electro-optical monitoring system and have a range of up to 100 km and an endurance of around 6 hours.
The title of this article should read: “US taxpayer chumps lose a drone in Syria.” The murderous, diabolical HeimyYid ZionistJew regime sucks about $3.8 BILLION from its whore each year. Oy vey!

I wouldn’t call 70% hit rate excellent… They are at early 60s level SAM accuracy. Which would be excellent if the year was 1962…

Shooting it up and down your Stink jewish arse 8s excellent
In major Chinese cities, you can buy amazing quality, retail-level, drones, really quite cheaply, in the tech markets…corridors of small merchant stalls selling these things.
It has started. The taliban victory has been only the first shot. And I see that Turkey is on board. Putin’s diplomacy is starting to pay off.
Small class recon drones – a percentage of these things are expected to be lost in active use. A US small class recon model was just shot down over Yemen too. Small class recon drones are slow and vulnerable – a localized eye in the sky tactical tool – but in reality all sides expect to lose a percentage them in use. Though, in this case, looks like IDF wont fess up if hit by localized Syrian ground to air fire.
Exactly.. It WAS shot down by Hez forces
I did not know, that lunatic asylums do have an outside internet line…
