    Huge Israeli drone that can reach Iran crashes

    JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military says a drone that can fly as far as Iran has crashed in central Israel on a routine experimental flight.

    The military says there were no injuries in Sunday's crash, and it was investigating the incident.

    The Heron TP drone is also known locally as the Eitan. It has a wingspan of 86 feet (26 meters), making it the size of a Boeing 737 passenger jet. It is the largest unmanned aircraft in Israel's military arsenal.

    The drone figures to be featured prominently in any potential Israeli operation against Iran and its expanding nuclear program.

    Heron TP could provide surveillance, jam enemy communications and connect ground control and manned air force planes. It's unclear if is could carry a deployable payload in a potential strike.

      It has the wingspan of a 737 and so that makes it the size of a Boeing 737 passenger jet??? This AP writer is an idiot. Try googling a picture of it you so you don't look so stupid on the next article you "write".

        Learn about personality expression on the internet.
        If you write: this writer is an idiot, you convince the reader about that you are an idiot.
        If you write about an outside of you event, the right expression is: that writer is an idiot.

        hat's right. WE HAVE MILLIONS OF IDIOTS IN THIS COUNTRY, WHO READ THIS IN THE BIBLE, AND STILL SUPPORT ISRAEL

        WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT AMERICAN RIGHT WINGERS?

        My angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites; and I will wipe them out. (Exodus 23:23

        The reasoning of those of the right wing who are not part of the 1% is beyond my ability to comprehend.
    • ralph  •  3 mths ago
      why does it have to reach iran? where would it reach if it went the other way?
    • Andres  •  Cypress, California  •  3 mths ago
      At least it didn't fly into Iran like our drone did.
    • PointMaker  •  3 mths ago
      Not sure I want to be a part of this. It seems anything that large is not going to be stealthy unless its a B1 in swept wing configuration.

      For a nation that is closer and closer to getting ts back slamed up against the wall, this is not good news.

      As government after government lift their swords high. On my warriors, on. For they are the evil and we are the good. Die my children, die. Die for your King. As the soldiers march off to war, each one's mind filled with the power of right and might, Behind them the long rows of thatch roof mud huts holding the soldiers families. The remains from a once thriving society.
      Now broken and without hope they look upon their future. They wonder how many meals could be made, how many families could be fed with nothing more than the meat from the large white steed the fat king sits upon. Some die through war. Some innocent, some not so much so. Many more die from the cost of that war.

      WE American Christians are fools. We blindly back Israel from some very mis-interpreted bible translation. Meanwhile, they despise us and continue to use our trust in them against us. Examples are: Patriot Act, PIPA, SOPA, NDAA, Hate Bill, Iraq War, Afghan War, Lebanese War, MOSSAD terror in Syria, Pakistan, India,Libya and Iran.

    • democraticaly elected  •  Tampa, Florida  •  3 mths ago
      will it reach England if Iran takes charge of it and change its course as happened to the CIA's drone ??
    • Native  •  San Diego, California  •  3 mths ago
      Oh yeah, American drones are better than israeli drones and my President can throw your president under a bus anytime he wants to - so there. . . .
    • democraticaly elected  •  Tampa, Florida  •  3 mths ago
      Sounds like a good drone. If can not reach Iran at least goes after natanyahu
    • Nic  •  3 mths ago
      If it can't get across Israel during a test flight, what are the odds it will make it to Tehran or even the boarder of Iran during a time of war? From now on I think the Israelis should keep their failures under wraps and just announce the outcome when they take out Iran.

      We need a break.
      Israel has been riding the U.S. gravy train for generations.
      That train needs to be stopped and melted back down into new U.S. infrastructure,
      IE: bridges, pipe lines, tunnels, dams, power grid, etc., etc., and debt reduction.
