Murphy's Law: Israeli UAVs Based In Syria

" In early 2016 reports began coming out of Syria that Israeli UAVs were operating from government bases there. Israel denied that it had sold UAVs to the Assad government and it was soon revealed that these Israeli Searcher 2 UAVs were indeed operating from Syrian military bases but the UAVs were Russian made, under license.

"In March 2014 Russia began licensed production of the Israeli Searcher 2 UAV. ...

"Searcher is also used by India, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand and Turkey.

The Israelis are still trying to figure that out...."
