ArmInfo.. In Israel, a criminal case was brought against the company Aeronautics Defense Systems, which is suspected of testing the Armenian unmanned aerial vehicle kamikaze at the request of Azerbaijan in the summer of 2017.
As writes The Time of Israel, the case is conducted by the department for the investigation of international crimes of Israeli police. "The name of a large customer that the company tested with UAVs will not be published, despite the fact that the company refuses to publish the name of a large customer, it is obvious that this is Azerbaijan." The decision to stop the sale of weapons was made after the company tested the UAV model Orbiter 1K in the direction of Armenia's positions in Nagorno-Karabakh, according to General Armen Gezalyan, on July 7 two Armenian soldiers were wounded as a result of the test, "the source said.
Note that the publication of "Maariv" published in August this year about the testing of the Israeli drones Orbiter 1K in Azerbaijan. According to the publication, representatives of Azerbaijan, considering the possibility of buying new Israeli drones, asked Aeronautics Defense Systems employees to demonstrate the capabilities of the Orbiter 1K drone kamikaze. To do this, drone operators were offered to strike at positions of the Armenian armed forces near the border between the two countries. According to the newspaper, Israeli operators refused, after which the leaders of Aeronautics Defense Systems equipped the drones and led them to the goal. They did not hit the targets, but one of the drones fell 100 meters from the positions of the Armenian Armed Forces.
Later it became known that the Ministry of Defense of Israel froze the company's activities and conducts an audit in connection with accusations against Aeronautics Defense Systems, the manufacturer of military drones Orbiter. These actions by the Israeli Defense Ministry have foiled a $ 20 million contract for the company that produces drone drones. At Aeronautics Defense Systems, the charges are categorically disproved.
Let us note that Israel is one of the largest suppliers of weapons to Azerbaijan. In addition to the UAV, Baku also receives from Tel Aviv radar, anti-tank missiles, mortars, night-vision devices, and other combat equipment.
