It happens to everyone, Israel, don’t worry—one of the IDF’s drones was either shot down or malfunctioned above Gaza. Now Hamas has it.
The video doesn’t tell much (talk to us below if you can understand Arabic!), but we do know that it’s almost certainly an Israeli drone, despite the country’s denial.
That tweet might be denying only that Hamas downed the drone, as opposed to it crashing on its own. Which is entirely possible! Drones go haywire from time to time, and can be pretty crashy. And as The Aviationist points out, the model above is a Rafael Skylite B surveillance UAV, employed by the IDF.
So what will Hamas do with it? It doesn’t have the resources for reverse engineering, so, probably just contineu to parade it around on TV. Or hand it over to Iran? [The Aviationist]
Doesn’t look very damaged.
It could be that drones are more glidey, so if power did just cut out it would float to the ground like a yellow leaf in the autumn, rather than a crow getting taken down by a 12 gauge.
Don’t quote me on this but a while back I read that an aeroplane that lost power is designed to go 20 feet forward for every 1 foot down, so considering that drones are considerably lighter I would presume they would have an even larger ratio, so if it landed in a large field or something like that I guess it would be pretty intact.
Depends on the aeroplane but apart from advanced fighter jets if it wouldnt glide in some way it wouldn’t fly.
I wonder what the odds are that the drone was deliberately ‘crashed’, and is still transmitting its location… It’s what I would do.
And maybe fit it with a bomb so that when Hamas take it to their base…
I’d fill it with party poppers and set them off 30 seconds before an airstrike hits.
Yes, because Israel needs more ways to kill innocent people.
They sure do sound creepy. It’s the sinister nature of the unknown, is it just taking pictures….can it fire missiles..or what?
