TURKISH MILITARY DELEGATION IN ISRAEL FOR SHIPMENT OF HERON DRONES
TEL AVIV (A.A) - 22.06.2010 - A Turkish military delegation arrived Tuesday in Tel Aviv to conclude test-runs in the delivery of four Israeli-made drones, the remaining lot in a 10-UAV deal between Turkey and Israel.
The Turkish delegation will stay in Tel Aviv for nearly two-weeks to test the Heron UAVs, the electronic equipment and spare parts.
Six drones were shipped to Turkey in February under the $180-million contract.
Relations between Turkey and Israel saw a heavy blow after Israeli commandos raided late May a Gaza-bound aid flotilla and killed eight Turkish nationals and a U.S. citizen of Turkish descent.
