Israeli
military drone crashed Monday morning during a test flight. The
country's army Radio said that the Heron TP, the most advanced unmanned
aerial vehicle currently operated by the Israel Air Force went down in
an open field shortly after taking off from the Tel Nof Air base in
central Israel .
No injuries were reported in the incident. A military spokeswoman while talking to a new agency declined to comment on the model that crashed.
Local media, however, said it was the Heron TP II, an all-weather drone inaugurated by the Israeli Air Force last February with a cruising altitude of about 13,700 meters and a maximal payload of one ton that can remain aloft for 36 hours - features that enable it to fly strategic reconnaissance missions over countries as far away as Iran .
