| [JPost] An indication they're not getting great smuggling results? How much can a covert drone carry? It is estimated that this was an attempt by Iran to find out whether it was possible to "open an axis" of supplying weapons to Gaza using unmanned vehicles. In the first-ever publicized operational interception, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit announced on Sunday evening that F-35 aircraft intercepted two Iranian UAVs en route to the Gaza Strip with a cargo of pistols. The interception occurred in March 2021, before the 11-day war between Israel and Hamas. The aircraft that shot them down were 'Adir' fighter jets. It is estimated that this was an attempt by Iran to find out whether it was possible to "open an axis" of supplying weapons to Gaza using unmanned vehicles.
The UAVs were tracked by intelligence throughout their journey. This is a developing story. | ||
