What's the corporate jet doing with the military escort ?

It is not a corporate jet, but a special electronic missions aircraft.

Nope. All of them are Israeli.

It is the arrival ceremony of C-130J (leftmost). So these are, left to right: new C-130J, old C-130, G-550 SEMA, and KC-707.

This is indeed one hell of an attractive woman there to the left , i mean the one to the right looks like my cousin but the one to the left is like the singer from russian tatu yulia volkova , so i assume she is russian too?

so tall , so russian , even i can tell

 

[Natan]

I don't think the girl on the left has any distinctive Russian appearance. Could be a 7th generation of sabras as well.

 

[jammersat]

This is quite attractive features too , the eyes , the lips , but it looks like she's sad too? is it the military life?

Harpy anti radiation loitering suicide UAV:

500 km range
32 kg warhead

Harop suicide UAV:

23 kg warhead
6 hour endurance
1000 km range

32 kg? Isn't this pretty much useless?

The range is good...very good..but what strategic target you would destroy by mere 32 kg? Or the explosives are some different kinds?

Also, is this a new product? Or is it in service since many years? Never heard of this one before.

32kg warhead is more than enough to disable targets such as radar antennas, command posts, missile launchers, communication facilities, power supply facilities... I.e anything not made of solid armored concrete or thick armored steel.

Harpy isn't new, more than two decades old. Harop (Harpy 2) isn't new either, a decade old.

You did not read the message carefully:

Harpy anti radiation loitering suicide UAV:

Its designed to destroy the radars. I dont think there are many radars who will survive 32 kg warhead.

Also, is this a new product? Or is it in service since many years? Never heard of this one before.

Harpy is an old product. It was exported to China, Turkey, India, South Korea.

Harop is relatively new. Harop adds electro optic sensor with datalink. That allows to select and attack any target, not only radiating.

If that is the case, then what do stand-off weapons with 400kg warheads are used for?

@500 might want to explain this..

 

[jammersat]

to me it just looks like an iranian f-14

400 kg are designed to destroy buildings, bridges, factories, bunkers etc. But Harpy is designed to destroy radars. It loiters waiting for radar to turn on and then dives on it.

Harop can also destroy some pinpoint targets including the moving ones (Scud launcher for example).
