Israel Aerospace Industries and the Israel Air Force has presented yesterday, Sunday, February 21, 2010, to the press.
deadly weapon. Great as a Boeing 737, a wingspan of 26 feet, a cruising altitude of up to 12 thousand meters and more than 20 hours of battery life. "With the opening of '
Heron Tp realize a dream," he commented during the presentation ceremony of the Israeli Air Force brigadier general Amikam Nortin, commander of the base that houses the drone, with the excitement that some men and some military feel in the face of increasingly sophisticated instruments of death. L 'Tp
Heron, of course, opens a new phase of its kind. "He can do many missions. It can also do some type of special missions that no other

Veihcle - (drones) can make," said Lt. Col. Eyal Asenheim, which is part of the staff which shall arrange for the shares.
Actions, indeed, of all types. From in-flight refueling, and obscuring the interception of communications of the enemy, to a real missile attack on a target.
The flight range, then, can strike well beyond the Persian Gulf. None of the soldiers present at the ceremony of '
Heron TP has responded directly to questions from journalists, but it is certainly not a secret that the recipient of the new Israeli weapons is Iran.
Countdown? On February 16, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said in no uncertain terms: "I am convinced that the Zionist entity is trying to start a war in the spring or summer, but I also believe that has not yet been a final decision. " From Moscow, where he paid an official visit, said the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanhyau: "There is no military plan against Iran. They are the usual manipulations of Ahmadinejad, raising tensions ahead of the new sanctions on Tehran. Penalties for which we should not waste time waiting for the green light by the Security Council. "Netanyahu has clear ideas: the UN is a useless waste of time. This is demonstrated by the history of the State of Israel, which violates all resolutions of the UN since 1948. Furthermore, in the past, political leaders - military in Tel Aviv did not hesitate to act alone: \u200b\u200bin 1981 the site was bombed Osirak, in Iraq, where Saddam's regime to develop its nuclear program . The same thing happened in 2007 in Syria. Waiting to see if it will happen again now that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is no longer the Secretary-General El Baradei and the new direction of ' UN body promises to be less soft on Tehran, Ahmadinejad's government has earned a bad stop.
arms race. Alexander Fomin, deputy director of the Russian federal system of technical cooperation - military, said February 17 that the supply of missiles to Iran was suspended indefinitely.
"The postponement is due to technical problems, the provision will be made when they are resolved," he told the agency Interfax the Russian leader, who has ruled out any connection between this decision and the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit to Moscow. In reality there is a link, since the Earth-arai S-300 is considered of vital importance dal regime degli ayatollah per difendere i siti del suo programma nucleare da un eventuale attacco mirato Usa o israeliano. Il blocco delle forniture ufficiali avviene dopo il fermo delle consegne illegali, quando gli agenti dei servizi segreti israeliani intercettarono un carico di armi per l'Iran dalla Russia. Per equilibrare lo scacco moscovita, Teheran ha annunciato - il 19 febbraio - attraverso la televisione di stato il varo del primo cacciatorpediniere di fabbricazione iraniana. "Il cacciatorpediniere Jumaran si è già unito alle forze navali dell'Iran nelle acque meridionali del Golfo Persico". Armato di siluri, il Jumaran (lungo 94 metri e con una stazza di 1500 tonnellate) è in grado di tenere sotto il controllo dei suoi radar fino a 100 bersagli nello stesso momento. Una corsa agli armamenti che nel Golfo si è arricchita anche del nuovo sistema di difesa missilistico che, a spese degli Usa, si sono dati Bahrein, Qatar, Kuwait ed Emirati Arabi Uniti nel mese di gennaio. In attesa delle nuove sanzioni all'Iran (che oggi ha annunciato l'apertura di altri due siti nucleare) la tensione sale e il Golfo diventa sempre più affollato di strumenti che non promettono nulla di buono.
