Here’s why Paul Martin is a liar.

There is no indication that IDF drones are armed. IDF drones are small and able to be carried by one man. Yesterday someone posted a video of an embed reporter in the IDF. During the filming you can see an IDF soldier carrying a drone past the camera. I promise you that they are not capable of carrying rockets.

One of the reasons that video from IDF drones has to refocus constantly is that they are so light and small that they get “bounced” up and down which ruins the focus. Small wings on a light airframe.

Here’s a picture of one used by front line forces. Here’s the Hermes 450, a more robust drone..yet not capable of carrying rockets. Nor is the Heron series.

That leaves the Harpy. The MSM calls it a drone. It is not. It is a operational loitering attack weapon, that means that it is tasked to a specific area to watcg for and then attack, a specific target….almost always a rader system. It _is_ the weapon system. Had a Harpy hit the roof that building not only would more damage have been done, but identifiable remains would have been paraded by Hamas.

So until someone shows me a picture of an armed IDF drone I call bull shit!
