JERUSALEM, July 22 (Xinhua) -- Israel concluded on Thursday its first-ever multinational military drone drill at the Palmachim Air Force base, south of Tel Aviv, the Israeli military said.
Six air force teams from Israel, the United States, Britain, France, Italy and Germany trained together with the Hermes 450 drones, known in Israel as "Zik," in several operational scenarios, the Israeli military said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Israeli crews operated other drones of the Israeli Air Force to conduct a wide-range of exercises, according to the statement.
This is the first time that Israeli and foreign drone operators have conducted missions together, including assisting ground troops, locating and striking enemies, and having joint operations with manned and remotely controlled aircraft, Yoav Amiram, the commander of the Palmachim Air Force base, told the Times of Israel.
