#3 Yup sounds like an RC plane to me too. I have a friend who is nuts for them and has several with huge wing spans and long duration.

#4 This may sound like a silly question, but what, exactly, is this "drone" supposed to do?

#5 "Mahmoud! Idiot! You forgot to put a camera on the drone!"

#6 I thought James Brolin was married to a Jew? This is outrageous!

#7 When all the necessary technical information for building such aircraft is so easily available on the web, it's not surprising the Hezbollah technicians manage to get one airborne sooner or later. I did a quick Google, and in less than two minutes found the site containing the instructions pertaining to the actual drone Hezbollah used, here.

#11 Hezbollah Sends Drone Into Israel

When one considers the extremely dubious nature of any and all contributions that Hezbollah makes to this world of ours, I think it's safe to say that all of them are, in fact, drones.

#12 I wonder if they used a videocamera or an old 8mm? I KNOW they don't have the sophistication to build real reconnaissance systems, and nothing the Russians have sold the Syrians so far is that modern. Besides making a flight, what did they accomplish? Sounds to me like an attempt at a propaganda coup, with no substance behind it. I'm also sure Israeli radio-intercept operators have pinpointed exactly where the control center is, and will "deal with it appropriately" the next time it comes on the air. More popcorn, anyone?

#13 This qualitative and new achievement by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon...

Yes, they can now fly model airplanes. The hard part was manufacturing the 10000 foot rubber band to power it.
