Israeli Super Drone Stolen

Posted by timothy on from the sounds-like-a-james-bond-plot dept.

kristy_christie writes "Globes Online reports that Steadicopter's prototype pilotless helicopter was stolen a few days after the completion of its test program and final test flights. Interesting to note that Steadicopter claims that their helicopter is unique and there is no other of its kind in the world."

    Stolen? There are only a few superpowers in the world that have the technology to maintain and use such a device.

    Possible reasons:
    - Ransom
    - One time suicide mission
    - To cause Israel to lose face (and 5 mil)
    - Sale (blah, blah... profit)

    It's going to take a very impressive effort to get something like this out of the country without being noticed.
