🗣️ The Israeli army acknowledges Hezbullah shot down a UAV operating over south Lebanon.

This is the 3rd Hermes-900 to be shoot down over Lebanon, the second in less than 2 weeks.

A total of 5 UAVs have been shot over Lebanon. Two additional were damaged, one of which crashed inside Israel months ago.

✈️ How many Hermes-900 exist?

Well it's never easy to know exactly without getting satellite imagery of Israeli air bases. But from a very quick internet search:

- In March 2023, Elbit received an order for its 120th UAV

Of these, the following foreign countries have:
- Brazil, Mexico, Azerbaijan ~ 2
- Iceland, EU, Colombian, Canada ~ each 1
- Chile ~ 3
- Switzerland ~ 6
- Philippines ~ 9
- India ~ 12

These are old numbers, but these imply Israel doesn't have an unlimited supply of them and whatever stocks exists, many are under maintenance and un-operational

⭕ Hezbullah issued a statement announcing they tracked the Israeli army modus operandi in south Lebanon and the path of its drones.

And once the UAV entered into a kill zone set by the resistance, it was shot down, before it was can proceed with its mission.

📝 An amateur research paper done by our channel in 2021 about the Hermes-450

Current Israeli army hangers with operational drones:
Heron TP: ~5
Heron 1: ~15
Hermes 900: ~10
Hermes 450: ~25

Other open sources claim they operate 25 Hermes-900
