Israel shoots down drone believed head to Tel Aviv

[corry =D]

Drones lol you mean model airplane with sony camera attached to it.

 

[Harper C]

global hawk and predator, maybe.

but the V1 was a drone, ant all that was was a bomb with a jet engine.

so you = lose.

 

[Rosalm]

They suspect it did. They just said that the drone is an Iranian made drone and it is capable of carrying 80 lbs of explosives. Not a whole lot but enough to terrorize people in Tel Aviv.

 

[fczumble]

basically

 

[Gundown64]

I guess Syria could afford those.

 

[PedroAdm]

Why build million dollar predators when you can build $200 radio controlled (or dead reckoning, if you don't want an airstrike on your transmitter) minions of flying death?

 

[Anti -Silence]

israel must have special anti-flying carpet munitions

 

[c.malacina]

they shot it down over the Sea...

 

[oizuki]

You don't need to drop a nuke in the city to make it worth your while, just terrorize people.

 

[CaRCaR!]

lol

 

[peace :]]

it could be for information gathering ...

or they could just use it as a kamikaze drone...

 

[Jeff FAILS AT LIFE]

or $2500 and a powerful radio transmitter

V1s were basically missiles that looked like planes. Minus well call ICBMs drones.

 

[Samy B]

Close, pusle-jet -- the princuple is the same but operation is quite different

They called them "Buzz-Bombs" because of the rapid opening and closing of the shutters which controlled airflow into the engine -- and the subsequent staggered explosions that propelled the V1 forward to it's target

 

[BlueDevilDude]

o snap

 

[Tiara S]

Why would they need to gather information when they can easily have people in the city doing it for them?

 

[Silent Requiem]

[No message]

 

[shabouya !]

I think as soon as the first rocket hits Tel Aviv, there will be no more Lebanon. Well, you know, two hours after it hits Tel Aviv
