New ‘Star’ of the Show: Israeli Drone Reaches Full Operational Capability

The Israeli Defense Forces unleashed their newest unmanned aerial vehicle on Tuesday.

The Elbit Systems’ Hermes 900 Kochav, or Star, drone reached full operational capability this week, Jerusalem Online reports. The drone was introduced into the IDF fleet’s “operational lineup” in November 2015, according to Israel Hayom (Israel Today), but saw its first action in Operation Protective Edge in Gaza in the year before. It has been undergoing further tests in the years since.
