‘Israel’ Confesses Skylark Shot over Syria’s Quneitra

Local Editor

The Zionist military acknowledged that an ‘Israeli' drone was downed in the Syrian territory of Quneitra on Monday, confirming an earlier report in the Syrian and Lebanese media that the UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] was shot down by Syrian aerial defense systems.

Syria said the drone, a Skylark, was downed over Quneitra in the Syrian Golan Heights.

The ‘Israeli' military claimed the circumstances of the incident were being checked, but that there were no immediate suspicions that classified data could be retrieved from the device.

In further details, Syrian aerial defense forces announced that they downed an ‘Israeli' spy drone, ‘Skylark', after violating Syrian sovereignty in the region of Rif al-Quneitra south Syria.

Following are some of Skylark's specs:

-Light unmanned drone

-One of the most advanced spy vehicles of the ‘Israeli' army, was manufactured by the ‘Israeli' Elbit Systems Company

-The estimated cost of each drone is about 50,000 dollars

-Skylark is known for its light weight, ranging between 7 and 7.5 kilograms according to its manufacturer, it is allowed to carry a load of 1.2 kilograms

-With respect to its intelligence mission, Skylark doesn't emit sounds, its engine is silent and is barley heard from 10-meters distance

-It is 1.5-meter long and 3-meter wide, capable of flying between 1.5 and 3 hours to a distance of 40 kilometers

-It is used by ‘Israeli' ground troops for intelligence missions and data collection since it has massive capability of scanning and identifying targets accurately, flying at night without grabbing the attention of the observed zone because it is equipped with electrical visual cameras, as well as laser and infrared cameras

-Skylark contains electronic devices that carry full high definition cameras over 24/7 to monitor the battlefield and its geography, they also support the ability to observe targets at night
-International technology offers it the chance to follow up stable and mobile targets with high definition, making it qualitative and reliable for ground forces

-Upon finishing its mission, Skylark returns to its position but this time using a rubber pillow-like shape to protect its load upon landing

-The ‘Israeli' army used Skylark in its war on Lebanon in 2006 to collect intelligence information for the ground forces, yet the Islamic Resistance downed many of its kind and still have them

-The Islamic Resistance has downed, controlled or obtained similar drones since 2012, namely in al-Quneitra, until 2016
