Israel destroys a large number of its drones

The Israeli military has shot down a large number of its drones during its operations, a US Navy officer recently revealed, citing the serious challenges the US military's air defense forces also face in distinguishing friendly from hostile drones. .

Forty percent of the drones intercepted and shot down by the Israeli military are Israeli drones, said Lt. Col. Michael Pruden, head of the US Marine Corps' Air and Sea Surveillance Coordination Division.

"Something interesting coming from Israel, 40 percent of the unmanned drones shot down by Israel are Israeli drones," he declared.

Pruden's comments make it clear that the quick distinction between friendly and hostile drones is a major problem for the Israeli occupation regime's military. It's also a problem he says the U.S. Navy will increasingly face.
