We generally love this topic. Who just does not do this.

And what was the essence of the claims of an American rival firm that delayed the deal for 5 years?
It is clear that she wanted to intercept the order. But how did she formulate? After all, she couldn’t just say “buy from us, because we want it that way”.

According to reports in the German press, leased aircraft will be able to carry weapons and participate in military conflicts in which the German contingent takes part, particularly in Afghanistan and Mali.

The vehicles will be leased through Airbus Defense and Space, a subsidiary of Airbus, which will receive 720 million euros per freight. seven drones at the Israeli State Aviation Industrial Concern. Another 177 million euros will be received directly by the Ministry of Defense for the operation of staff carriages, dispatching equipment and technical care.

For the first time in history, the German army will establish a permanent representative office in Israel at the Tel Nof Air Force base, where the Heron TP drone control and maintenance will be provided.

For many years, the largest German party, the Christian Democratic Union, has opposed the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for offensive purposes - European humanists fear that the drone could "kill someone by mistake." Only recently has the party removed objections and gave way to the approval of this deal by the Bundestag.

I think that the responsibility for the possible loss of UAVs is stipulated? But isn’t Germany planning to get hold of technology from Israel?

It may very well be.
Although the option is possible, as with car rental. The tenant is not interested in where repairs will be made, on what and how. The car should be ready for such a time, the loss of the device is also not of interest to the tenant, another should be put in its place.

Why is it so strict? You can take a plane to Turkey, or you can take a taxi - the price difference

If my memory serves me, the opponents of the acquisition of armed drones were not the CDU, but the Green Party and the Left Party, but the Social Democrats were in thought. And since they had been in coalition with the CDU for years, there were problems in the acquisition.
Yes, and yours, i.e. European, the drone project is completely stalled. Probably, this finally played in favor of Heron leasing.

It’s just that Israel could solve some issues of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to move to a new level, to hire a country that has a key to solving issues. Maybe somewhere it happens ...

You KVK would have a lot of ours in the manual. So what's the deal? Use internal reserves, or rather internal Jews.

"Pay attention to the sale of arms to developed countries - the states of Europe, the USA and Canada, in the amount of $ 3.1 billion. Nobody can boast of this, except the USA itself, even European leaders do not sell weapons to developed countries for such an amount."

Israel has advanced technology in this area. Actually, as in the production of weapons! I suppose, not only at the expense of their own forces, they achieved this, but also due to close cooperation with the USA. Actually, the example of these two countries shows a real example of allied relations! Plus full support for each other in the international arena and in the economy !! Therefore, when conversations begin about the allied relations between Russia and Belarus or Kazakhstan, this only causes a bitter smile!

In close cooperation with the USSR, Israel became a state, took their% of friendship ....

Not all the gold that glitters, the Russian Federation has its relations with neighboring countries and the countries that you have listed and others have never built relations according to the template, historically Eurasian countries are building their relations in a different way. It is not known what would happen to the Jews if they lived next to Europe, Asia, the East ....

Israel in 10 ke on the export of arms in the world. A tiny country of military war Jews.
