The Hermes 900 is the workhorse high-altitude, long-endurance UAV of the Israeli Air Force, operated from squadrons at Palmachim Airbase.
Elbit Systems’ Hermes 900 drones quietly sat at the center of Israel’s June war with Iran, helping the IDF track down and expose dozens of concealed Iranian ballistic missile launchers that were aimed at Israeli cities, according to new reporting from the Jerusalem Post and Israeli defense officials.
During the Twelve-Day War, Iran’s regime hurled hundreds of ballistic missiles and more than a thousand attack drones toward Israel.
Israel now says it destroyed more than 200 Iranian ballistic missile launchers and over 120 surface-to-air missile batteries in a massive air campaign that pounded underground bases like the Kermanshah missile complex and other IRGC facilities across the country.
