In an exclusive report, Israel’s Channel 14 revealed the IDF’s secret drone unit, which is revolutionizing modern combat with cutting-edge technology that quietly and precisely eliminates terrorists—without endangering troops.
These advanced drones act as aerial snipers, replacing soldiers on the front lines. A new generation of battlefield weapons now operates alongside tanks and jets, marking a technological leap in IDF operations. “This isn’t just a weapon,” said the unit commander. “It’s a real-time decision-making system operating deep in enemy territory.”
In dramatic footage, a drone spots a powerful explosive hidden in a refrigerator in Jenin. With a controlled detonation, the drone neutralizes the threat and prevents disaster. During the “Iron Swords” war, many attack drones, including suicide drones and high-altitude bombers, achieved major successes. “This capability has literally saved lives,” said a unit officer.
The newly unveiled “sniper drone” doesn’t just attack—it can hit targets with extreme precision from beyond visual range, outperforming even elite human snipers. “Its main advantage is deadly accuracy with minimal risk to our forces,” said a senior officer, who noted there’s no comparable unit in the world.
Operating from a safe distance, drone operators guide missions with joystick controls. It may look like a video game—but ends in real battlefield explosions.
These breakthroughs stem from the Ministry of Defense’s AI and Autonomy Directorate, led by Brig. Gen. (res.) Dr. Danny Gold, and backed by Director-General Maj. Gen. (res.) Amir Baram. The goal: enhance battlefield effectiveness and protect soldiers. Among the new systems are Elbit’s “Predathor” sniper drone and attack drones by Xtend.
Next time you hear of a silent strike or foiled attack—know that these drones may be behind it: the unseen eyes and hands of the IDF in modern warfare.
