A top Israeli defence official was forced to step down after the United states expressed fury at Israel's decision to sell military equipment to China. The conflict,according to the daily,stems from different interpretations of the military support contract between the USA and Israel. Israel explained to US officials that sensitive components of the equipment had been removed before the transfer and were being held in Europe. However the US insisted that the fact that equipment had made its way to China at all present s a security risk to the Middle east. The USA is concerned that the advanced technology could trickle from China to Iran. www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/175404#.U_wqS0hPrFc

The aid Israel gets from the USA should be viewed as compensation for restraint of trade with their advanced technology.

Israels sales of weapons and military systems hit a record high last year of $7.5 billion. Israel is now ranked as one of the largest arms exporters, a considerable achievement for a country smaller than New York. The arms related trade is reported to account for between 1/5 and 1/10 of Israel's exports. The main buyers are Asian countries,India,Europe,USA,Canada,Australia and Latin America. Israel pioneered the airborne drones,Israel hopes to repeat that success with missile interception systems such as Iron Dome. "Our success in defence industries reflects the fact that Israel has had to be resourceful and creative faced with an existential threat for more than 60 years as well as a series of wars with the Arab world. www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2013/08/201381410565517125.html

The military call these remote piloted vehicles, the ignorant call them drones,these things fly high enough so shoulder fired missiles cannot hit them.
What they can see and track is awesome-

Yep lots of countries interested in the tried and proven Iron Dome missile defence.

I bet Tony would like one of those.

A drone?

Mr Abbott would like Australia to be one of those.

And where and who are ISIL or whatever they are called this week getting their drone aircraft from that was reported this week in Israeli News.
The Israeli's believe this terrorist group will soon launch these weapons at Israel.
Perhaps the Yanks should look in their own backyard first.

Hopefully those sneaky Zionists will know how to thwart such efforts, of ISIS using guided 'bomb' drones against Israel.



The news report i saw the other day, indicated that ISIS were using drones as an aerial surveillance tool, over battlefields in Syria/Iraq.
