Doesn't india have heron?
IAI officials maintain that the Heron system is capable of flying with a variety of payloads, including the domestically manufactured electro-optical one. Performance is based on a multi-payload configuration, and the system that will be provided to the customer will incorporate an improved engine that will accommodate the increased payload weight, they said, adding, This Heron system, with its enhanced performance, is better than all existing Heron UAVs operating worldwide.

agreed with sky walker 1983 that they have big difference from each other you should compare israeli tactical uav with turkish tactical uav friend and turkish uav is as good as israelis
Here few facts for u:TIHA-B (Turkey) > TIHA-A (Turkey) > HERON (Israel) > ÇALDIRAN (Turkey)
Note: Israel's Heron's termal cameras and day-night cameras are UNQUALIFIED!
Turkey's 10 Heron (purchased from Israel) use Turkish termal cameras and day-night cameras (ASELFLIR-300). ASELFLIR-300 is made by ASELSAN of Turkey. Also, ASELSAN increased from biggest 93th (2009) to 86th (2010) defence company in the world according to US's Defence News periodical.
By ASELFLIR-300, one can read the watch on arm of a terrorist from 7 kms above.
Herons are used by 7 other nations, no one had such problems.Turkey's Heron's Problems:
So far it did not reach even 1 feet.TIHA UAV (loaded with ASELFLIR) can easily reach to 30 000 feet!
TIHA-B UAV will have Turkish Cirit missiles (with fire and forget capacity). Cirit proved superiority to US's Hellfire and Israel's Spike on early 2010
* Israeli Litening targeting pod together with US Sniper are two most advanced targeting pods in the world. No one comes close.
We are in 2010* Israeli designed UAVs were most extensively used by US in 1991, 1999 and 2003 wars.
Turkey's expectations were different than those nations.Herons are used by 7 other nations, no one had such problems.
All major air forces in the world use these two pods. TuAF is no exception.any source? with respect to what ? for which criteria ?
