US Marines To Develop New System Armed With Israeli-Made Loitering Munitions

Screen grab from a promotional video by Uvision showing a canister-launch system for the Hero munition based on the US JLTV vehicle.

On June 17, the United States Marine Corps (USMC) awarded Mistral, Inc. a contract to design, build and test the Organic Precision Fires – Mounted (OPF-M) system.

Mistral teamed with Israel’s UVision LTD to deliver the USMC with advanced loitering munition capabilities based on last’s Hero 120 system.

UVision’s Hero family of loitering systems includes Hero-30, Hero-70, Hero-120, Hero-250, Hero-400, Hero-900, and Hero-1250. The Hero-120 is the largest of the short-range systems. The loitering munition has a range of 40 kilometers, an endurance of 60 minutes and is armed with 4,5 kilograms warhead.

The OPF-M will be integrated by Mistral on the Light Armored Vehicle-Medium (LAV-M), Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), and Long-Range Unmanned Surface Vessel (LRUSV). The company will also integrate the system with the USMC C2 and other mission payloads

“Mistral and UVision bring together decades of experience in the development and manufacturing of defense systems to address the US Marine Corp’s need for a proven precision strike loitering system,” said Col. (Ret.) Yossi Gez, executive vice president of Mistral, according to Yahoo.

The USMC picked the Bethesda-based company following a series of tests and evaluations at different US Government test centers.

The OPF-M system will provide the USMC with an advanced ISR [Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance] and precision indirect fire strike capabilities. Similar systems are being developed by Russia. The use of loitering munitions became more prominent in the last few years.

Good for murdering women and children as the americans and zionists prefer.

Useless when operating against a multi layered A2/AD setup as seen with the Russians, in Syria

STFU if I want to see absolute horseshit I turn on MSM or go to murican history class.

You are reading history backward. About 80% of the whole German troops during world war 2 were killed in eastern front fighting the Soviets. The Soviets won world war 2 at Stalingrad, the turning point of the world war 2. The Soviets could have won the war alone although it could have taken a little more time. Koreans, Chinese and Soviets were hammering Japs in Manchuria. Koreans were about to enter the Korean peninsular, and yet u.s. detonated atomic bombs on Japs for no other reason than to divide Korea for geopolitical gains. The Normandy landing was just a Hollywood production and what u.s. did was mopping up German remnant troops running on fumes.

It is a fact that about 80% of the whole German troops in world war 2 were killed in eastern front, which was the most critical in world war 2. Any other stuff including largely discredited Khrushchev you brought up is irrelevant and is not significant in overall war execution and eventual outcome of the war. The so called stuff u.s. provided accounted for even less than 10% of the materials the Soviet produced and used in the war. I don’t believe there is anyone who takes Ukrainian Khrushchev, who is largely discredited, seriously. Here is a video that can shed a new light on world war 2.

Not just 80% but the best divisions of Wehrmacht fought and died for years in the East. German army never fully recovered from 1941, not to mention Stalingrad and Kursk. German army in 1944. was very different from (almost) invincible machinery from 1941. Americans faced second rate german troops in Normandy (apart from a few depleted divisions). Russians won the war, Americans did nothing but bombing and slaughtering civilians in Europe.
and also in Asia, Russians more decisively defeated Japan in 3 weeks than the US in 3 years.

” I don’t believe there is anyone who takes Ukrainian Khrushchev, who is largely discredited, seriously. ”

Of course you conveniently ignore Stalin’s quotes.

The Truth

Propaganda garbage copy-pasted directly from the State Department (I guess you are too ashamed to admit that). In reality the share of lend-lease in the total volume of manufactured and supplied products was around – 4% (both UK&US aid). The bulk of the weapons and other materials arrived in the Soviet Union in 1944-1945. and USSR/Russia eventually paid for most of their ‘aid’ (USSR exported materials to the US as well: 300,000 tons of chrome ore, manganese, platinum, gold).

No sane person claims that German victories in WW2 were thanks to Sweden, just because Sweden traded with Germany. And Switzerland and Spain. 80% of Japan’s oil before August 1941. came from the United States!

Yet clueless morons like to copy-paste exactly the same rubbish all over internet, including some courteous toast Stalin allegedly said during a dinner! That’s more important than 4 years of war in the East, at least for morons like you.

Long story short, the russians enslaved by the cryptojew bolshevik did achieve absolutely nothing except for slaughtering themselves by the hundreds of millions in the Gulags.

As the americans have proven, It was only due to America that they could just overrun the german liberators with human wave tactics and subsequently spread Khazar bolshevisme into Europe and finally the US.

Lets face it, the Nazis were misunderstood freedom fighters who were until this day the only force independent from the Khazars and putting up acutal opposition. This is proven by the fact that they were not financed by jew american oligarchs at all.

If you’re going to attempt to imitate me you should study my writing style better. This is a very poor attempt.

Fog of War

I think you need to study my writing style, imposter. The one you responded to you is clearly employing sarcasm, pal.

Still living in 1943 . Explains your ignorance of reality. About time you found an ashtray to fit into. Moron .

US Army

Americans are indeed incredibly incompetent, with their huge military budget they literally have to beg Israel to help them with air defense, radars, drones, even tanks. Americans can’t make anything on their own any more.

hmm

nothing new there: they used nazis for technology, now they use zionazis.

Peter Wallace

If it wasn’t for American soldiers today we wouldn’t have so much terrorism and choas in the world today. If it wasn’t for the British at Trafalgar we could be speaking French or Spanish today . Thank God for the Picts of ancient Britain or Scotland or we could be living in caves today. America is Not the same country as it was in 1943 . Idiot.

KnowTheJew

Ah, more and netter ways for the Jews’ US Tyranny wardog to kill “terrorists” at schools and wedding parties.

Peter Wallace

So in 1 words …fuc…k off filthy pigs …. that is four words so can’t count or think .

GoldStandard

This is what Israeli government has been desperately trying to achieve – to try and create an interdependence with US military and technology (even though US actually finances it all) – so that Israel can stick to US like glue and keep the US military support coming indefinitely (Israel will basically fold without it).
