...ול"יקיר הפורום" יש (איך לא?) תובנה משלו:
In fact, the same source mentioned above has learned that IAI took an internal poll of Israeli perceptions of its drone products and results were so disappointing they determined to mount a PR campaign to burnish their tarnished image.
Weapons systems are designed, budgeted and funded much differently in Israel than in the U.S. So IAI doesn’t have to worry very much about the average Israeli turning on their products. But IAI does rely on cabinet ministers and MKs to approve the IDF budget. If support lags in these circles for its products, the IDF will not order them. So that calls for pulling out all the stops. Further, foreign governments are also lucrative customers for Israeli drones and when they hear about the drone hacks they’ll think about looking elsewhere. So, as the old beer commercial goes: “this one’s for you” (too).
That explains this drone “fly-by” over Tel Aviv’s gleaming office towers by the queen of the drone fleet, the Heron, in this Mako report (Hebrew).
