Iran's Press TV reported Sunday that Israeli-Azeri drones - allegedly
on a "secret spy mission" - were spotted flying over Iran and
Karabakh's common border.
According to the report Azerbaijan has been enlisting the help of
"Israeli military advisors" in order to improve its drone
capabilities.
According to the report, Baku "has been using Orbiter ultra-light
drones assembled with the help of Israeli experts to carry out
operations along the border with Karabakh."
The report further quoted Iranian military experts as saying that
Azerbaijan uses Elbit Systems' Hermes-450 unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAVs) for control and surveillance missions.
Tehran's military experts further told the website that "Israeli
satellites are closely cooperating with Azeri drones, though they have
a long way to go before reaching the ideal level."
Azerbaijan has been named as a country that may allow IAF jets to
enters its airspace and use its military bases for refueling in case
Israel decided to mount a unilateral strike on Iran's nuclear
facilities.
Both Jerusalem and Baku have denied reports suggesting the IAF has
been given access to Azeri airbases.
