The war in Ukraine forced: Germany will strengthen the army of Israeli drones-Kamikadze (video)
Thomas Gottshild, the MBDA director in Germany, said: "The war in Ukraine and the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia have shown the importance of drones in combat missions. Now the experience of two companies will improve and strengthen drones in the German army. " According to Boaz Levi, CEO of IAI: "Collaboration with MBDA Germany in the field of bargaining ammunition makes it possible to combine the strengths of both companies. IAI is a world pioneer in the development and accurate weapons.
These systems have contributed to the operational successes of the armed forces around the world and are central and decisive components of future deployment scenarios. " According to Israel Defense, almost four decades ago, IAI was the first company in the world to develop Kamikadze drone. The current IAI Loitering Munition portfolio includes Harop, Harpy, Mini Harpy and Rotem systems. Harop is a Dron Kamikadze with an electro-optical guide.
It runs from ground launching installations and is controlled through a two -way transmission channel up to 200 km. Harop keeps track of a target and then dives to it, detonating the warhead while struck. Dron Kamikadze can spend up to 9 hours in the sky and bear a ammunition weighing 16 kg. Harpy is a full -time autonomous weapon of day and night regime "shot and forgot.
" It is launched from ground equipment and launched into the patrol area, which they protect up to 9 hours and automatically attack the entire enemy. Harpy detects, attacks and destroys enemy radar radars and enemy SCRs. Its characteristics are the same as in Harop, but it is designed to combat HR. Mini Harpy-looks for and attacks any target from any direction and at any angle and in all weather conditions.
In addition, the communication range, long flight and deadly combat part make it possible to fight Drone-Kamikadze with various purposes in the modern war. Rotem Aerial Vehicle (AV) is a tactical bargaining weapon based on a lightweight multi -voltable platform that provides excellent opportunities against the unobtrusive enemy systems in difficult conditions. This lightweight and compact drone can be assembled in seconds and controlled by one soldier.
The unmanned system is capable of making deadly sighting strokes for stationary and moving purposes. Rotem is an extremely universal platform that can perform intelligence and attack tasks at the level of the department with minimal planning and prompt attention from the operator. The backpack system allows the operational unit to organically use the drone as part of its standard equipment. Quadcopter Rotem is able to fight for a few seconds directly on the battlefield.
