/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey will buy 10 snoops from Israel, Turkish
Defense Minister said.
Asked if procurement of Heron spy aircraft would be delayed after Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s harsh criticism of Israel’s attack on
Gaza, Minister Vecdi Gonul said, "Our agreement to jointly produce
Herons is still in force. They (Israel) sent two of the aircraft
late December. There is a little bit delay but I think they will send
remaining eight aircraft until the end of April."
Each Heron unmanned surveillance aircraft costs 18 million USD,
