WATCH: Israeli Air Force shoots down Hamas drone
2016-09-21
[Ynet] After the Israeli Air Force identified a Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, UAV take off and fly over the Gazoo coastline Tuesday morning, an IAF F-16 took out the drone with a missile.

The Israeli Air Force shot down an unmanned aerial vehicle belonging to Hamas on Tuesday morning.

The drone was shot down over the coastline in the Gazoo Strip, and the IDF stated that it never penetrated Israeli territory. The military also stated that they had tracked the UAV from the moment that it launched.
See video at the link.
An IAF plane shot it down. The IDF commented, "We will not allow a violation of airspace, and we will with determination against any such attempt."

The IAF aircraft, which was an F-16, shot down the drone around 10am. It used a missile to take the Hamas UAV out.
I imagine it's good target practice for the lads.

#7  They would fly alongside a V1, get a wingtip under its wing, and flip it over, IIRC.

#6  The RAF used to upset and crash V-1s kind of like that.

The drones are free targets. The IAF should use whatever the pilot needs to qualify on to down them.

#5  Wonder if something like an F-16 could buzz it and hit the afterburners, knock it down with wake turbulence?

#4  Why a missle? I thought a few rounds of .50 or 20mm would be cheaper.
