The publication writes that the popularity of such drones has surged following their active use in the war between Russia and Ukraine. The Israeli military has already improved the efficiency of intercepting conventional drones, but FPV systems remain a complex threat.
Former Israeli air defense chief Ran Kochav previously warned that the military is not sufficiently protecting key air defense systems, including the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow. According to him, striking such objects could seriously weaken the country's entire defense system.
