Israeli Drones Reportedly Attacked Sudanese Convoys (JTA, 29 March 2009)
Israel used unmanned drones to attack Iranian convoys in Sudan on their way to smuggle arms into Gaza.
Long-range missiles had range to strike Tel Aviv and Israel’s nuclear reactor at Dimona. 50 smugglers killed in the attacks.
Used UAVs because the convoy is a target that is on the move.
“When you attack a fixed target you are better off using jet aircraft, but with a moving target with no definite time for the move UAVs are best, as they can hover extremely high and remain unseen until the target is on the move.”
Attack took place in a remote desert area of eastern Sudan.“Israel hits every place it can in order to stop terror, near or far” – Israeli Prime Minister.
