Turkey's
military has ignored prohibitions from its government and returned to Israel for unmanned aerial vehicles.


A Turkish military delegation has arrived in Israel to test four Heron UAVs, manufactured by the state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries. The delegation arrived in Israel amid threats by the government of Prime Minister Recep Erdogan to suspend Turkish
military cooperation with the Jewish state.

"We have been using Herons in northern Iraq over the last 10 days," Turkish Chief of Staff Gen. Ilker Basbug said.

Officials said the Turkish delegation, which included more than 20 officers, would test the performance of the Heron medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned platforms, which can operate for up to 50 hours at a time. They said Heron has been the leading UAV used by the Turkish military in the current offensive in Iraq. Australia, Canada, France and Germany
have deployed or ordered Heron for the NATO stabilization campaign in Afghanistan.

In April 2010, Turkey received six of 10 Heron UAVs ordered in a $190 million deal with IAI and Elbit Systems. The remaining four platforms have been assembled and are awaiting final trials before delivery.

Officials said the last four Herons were expected to arrive in Turkey in July. They said the Turkish military, which has been operating the Herons without Israeli assistance, has expressed satisfaction with the UAV's performance, particularly in operations against the Kurdish Workers Party in northern Iraq.
