Air Force shoots down one of its Unmanned Aerial Vehicles over sea due to engine malfunction

An Air Force Shoval-type drone engaged in routine activity was shot down over the sea due to an engine malfunction on Saturday. IAF helicopters searched for its remains in the sea between Tel Aviv and Netanya. The IAF has launched an investigation to discover out the reason for the malfunction. It was also decided to ground all Shoval UAVs.

The IDF stressed this is not the first time the IAF downs a drone in a controlled manner. Last year, an Eitan-type Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, Israel's largest drone, crashed near Moshav Yesodot. There were no injuries.
The investigation showed the incident was apparently the result of both a human error and a technical malfunction. The drone apparently crashed after one of its wings fell off, according to the initial investigation.

The Irony: The UAV was apparently shot down because of engine malfunction!!! If it had engine malfunction it would either crash in the sea itself or the controller could have crashed it in the sea. No reason to shoot it down using another plane! It was probably hacked by Hezbollah and the IDF pissed in their pants and shot it down because they couldn't control it anymore.
losers.

Nice presumption bro , it could have indeed been hacked

I think they would eventually declare it was the jewish friend or foe system installed on the plane

Israel shoots down own UAV and brings lame excuse


But why to publish it in the first place?

and why this news is in Iranian thread section

Delusional Persian kittens catnip is fun isnt it? it seems like you overdosed

 

[BeyondHeretic]

Moshe Ya'alo'n added : the drone was too American by design and so out IAI Kfir automatically locked and fired an AAMRAMM up her ***

 

[BeyondHeretic]

Obviously the Israelis are falling for our achievements , the Israeli pilot saw the drone from afar and thought this was the new khizbollah drone!

Well, accidents happen from time to time, so to speak.

Iranians have shish kebabs for brains

The world is buying Israeli drones and tech. No one is buying what you're selling.

Except pistachios. I prefer them salted, but unsalted is healthier.

How can anyone take you seriously after this?

Damn bro, I was wanting to be taken as a serious political commentator on here.

Now everyone thinks I'm just a joke?

By the way, do Iranians still joke? it's just that on here you all seem to have a stick up your back side.

Loosen up bro. Go for a walk in the park.

here is an interesting article from a famous Zionist blogger and commentator 'Richard Silverstein':

text version: (part of video)

A highly-placed Israeli source elaborates on a partially truthful Ynetnews report that Israel destroyed an advanced Shoval (“Heron”) drone that was on a mission over the sea between Tel Aviv and Netanya. Israel did indeed destroy the drone, one of the most advanced in its fleet. Here is what its manufacturer had to say about it after its October 2012 launch:

The drone, called Heron 1 (Shoval), will help improve Israel’s Naval and Air Force’s recognition of unknown or hostile ships and aircraft even if they are 300 km away, with a radar that can reach Turkey, Cyprus or Egypt.

“The system can inquire and intercept any object within just a few minutes,” an IAI official told the newspaper on Sunday, after the Shoval drone had concluded a demonstration in which the new cameras captured every detail of a ship sailing the Mediterranean.

“The Shoval has satellite communication abilities, which means any footage it takes will be broadcasted [sic] online to distant location like Paris [!],” the official said.

But there was no “malfunction.” Rather an unknown hostile force exploited a breach in the navigation system and took control of the vehicle.

Once the drone became unresponsive, the IAF realized either it could be crashed into a sensitive Israeli target or else hijacked to Lebanon or Syria. At that point, the IAF launched flares over Israeli territory in a search to find it. They must’ve succeeded, which enabled them to destroy it.

I do not know who took control of the aerial vehicle. It was either Iranian forces or Hezbollah (or both). That makes it likely the drone was patrolling over Lebanon or Syria. The Ynetnews report said it was on a “routine” mission, which could mean anything or nothing.

Further support for my source may be found in the decision to ground the entire Shoval fleet. The hijackers discovered a weakness in the drone’s software controls and they can’t be flown again until it’s fixed.

Last year, the Iranians claimed to have done precisely the same thing to a U.S. Predator drone over Iranian territory. Though we claimed there had been a navigational malfunction, our protestations sounded hollow. The current incident points to a hitherto unknown or unappreciated ability by the Iranians to penetrate Israeli aerial guidance systems.

Just before the Shoval upgrade was announced above, Hezbollah had launched a drone which penetrated 30 miles into Israeli territory near the Dimona nuclear plant. A few weeks ago, Israel shot down another drone that may’ve been launched from Lebanon.

I should note that Hezbollah, with the likely help of the Iranians, compromised the IDF communications systems to devastating effect during the 2006 Lebanon war.

In 1997, Hezbollah intercepted the transmission (Hebrew) of Israeli aerial surveillance images which allowed the militant group to ambush IDF navy commandos, causing the death of 12. At the time, the army told the public the ambush had not been planned, but the result of a lucky break for Hezbollah. Then Hassan Nasrallah released the stolen images, which put egg on the face of lying Israeli generals. They were even forced to acknowledge that some intelligence data of this sort wasn’t even encrypted, thus allowing it to be intercepted.

Israel likes to tout its military invincibility and superiority over its enemies. Incidents like this remind us there are large ****** in the IDF’s armor.

He don't know who took the control but he knows that it was hijacked?

It is a standard procedure to ground machine if there is a suspicion over technical malfunction, damn he is a moron.

What Predator incident last year?

Dimona is not nuclear plant! and it is 60 miles from Mediterranean sea, according to Israeli sources the drone was downed over(near) Lehav which is 30 miles from coastline and 30 miles from Dimona nuclear research center

...

no, it's not a standard procedure at all, they only ground an entire fleet when they find a problem in a part during maintenance .
it's not common to ground an entire fleet just because of a crash.
also I think he is referring to RQ-170 but he made an inadvertent mistake.

Yes it is a standard procedure to ground fleet if there is suspicion of technical malfunction.

Yes it is inadvertent mistake, just like his whole conspiracy theory.

maybe a loose screw. thus crash by itself
