Israel producing massive unmanned aircraft
Israel is developing the world’s largest unmanned aircraft which will be used for long-range high-altitude operations and destroying ballistic missiles as they are being launched. The Eitan has a wing span of 35 metres (110 feet) — similar to that of a Boeing 737 passenger plane — the official told AFP. A response to the ‘Iran threat’, the first flight was in Jan 2007. According to Janes Defence Weekly, the weapons payload is 1800kg, more than enough to carry nuclear weapons, and can fly for 50 hours at 50,000 feet, above anti-aircraft defences, and must have a range of thousands of kilometers.
