| Iran bought German GPS guidance gear for military drones |
| 2006-08-22 |
| Johannes Mocken, the prosecutor in Dusseldorf, said Teheran had obtained the global positioning systems (GPS) through Iranian merchants living in Germany. The delivery was first reported by a German television current-affairs programme, Fakt, which said seven German-made systems were exported but German authorities managed to stop three more. The systems use signals from satellites to help fly unmanned aircraft. Hezbollah deployed several drones of unknown origin in its recent month of fighting with Israel. |
