Unmanned airplanes "Rohiv shamaim" (in Russian - "Heavenly Rider") now fly on, they sit less often and see better. This is evidenced by the recorded on Monday, January 22, video record of operational departures of unmanned aircraft. The army press service noted that the "Rohiv shamaim" was modernized, and the total number of hours that aircraft of this type flew in the first half of 2017 increased by 1,000 over the same period in 2016.

"Rokhov shamaim" entered the arsenal of a new commando unit created for operations in the enemy's rear rear. The aircraft collects information about the targets and controls the course of the ground operation. The unit recently participated in IDF ground maneuvers conducted on the territory of Cyprus and significantly expanded its capabilities due to the upgraded version of the UAV.

As part of the modernization program, all "Sky Riders" will receive new high-definition video cameras that allow creating a three-dimensional image. And on each plane there will be two cameras, which will significantly speed up the process of aiming at the target, Vesti writes.

"Rohiv shamaim" - the smallest drones of the Israeli armed forces. It was created for artillery as a short-range reconnaissance aircraft, helping the commanders of the mouths, battalions and brigades to assess the operational situation and determine the path by which their unit will move forward. The brigade commander must have six such unmanned aircraft.

Lieutenant Colonel Reut Retig-Weiss commands the "Heavenly Horsemen" unit. She noted that women do not receive any indulgence in the military unit - they are faced with exactly the same requirements as men. Including such a requirement: to deliver heavy cargo on foot for a distance of 50 km.

"Our army is guided by operational needs," explained Lieutenant-Colonel Retig-Weiss. - If it is necessary to prepare more women for the service in the division, this will be done ".
