Israeli Air Force gets new spy plane, considered the most advanced of its kind

The Israeli Air Force received the new Oron spy plane, considered to be the most advanced plane of its kind in the world, on Sunday.

The new plane will be part of the Air Force’s 122nd Squadron, also known as the Nachshon Squadron.

The plane - a modified Gulfstream G550 bizjet - is equipped with artificial intelligence technology and is notable for its excellent flight capabilities and low maintenance costs. The plane will be equipped with advanced radar made by Israel Aerospace Industries, as well as with other advanced intelligence-gathering systems, providing new capabilities in terms of coverage in all types of weather and in any level of visibility. The plane is designed to give the Air Force a comprehensive picture of an area in real time, including the mapping of enemy ground forces.
