1. "Israel has trained the Turkish personnel"...

in the method of using the drones to perform surgically precise assassination of terrorists. I guess that the Kurds and Armenians (an oppressed minority and victims of genocide) had better start looking over their shoulders to see whats droning overhead.
2. BUSINESS AS USUAL WITH AN ENEMY

Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (03.25.10)
Turkey has a strong technologic infrastructure to produce Drones revers engineering Herons and we may sell our products to Hamas for their security along israeli borders and Iran who may use them against Jundullah, israil friendly alqueda fraction. We may also sell revers engineered models to many country. Thanks for samples.

7. Tayfun - what you don't know
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (03.25.10)
All the proprietary technology used in these drones are made in such a way that if you try to dissect it it self destroys and renders the machinery useless. As you know we Jews are very smart and diabolical in that way right.! So you see; we still win and you lose. 8-)
8. #5 - Yeah, let's send most advanced technology to enemies
William ,   Israel   (03.26.10)
Dummy, this version of the drone is definitely "dumbed-down". I'm sure Iran and Al-Qaeda already have their hands on parts of the American drones that DO carry weapons and such. Don't worry about reverse-engineering, we'll just sell it to our enemies ourselves for the cash in hand. I hope the IDF built in a self-destruct mechanism which we can call on if ever used against us.
9. To #8- you mean smartend up
Ibrahim ,   Ankara, Turkey   (03.26.10)
IAI officials maintain that the Turkish Heron's "with its enhanced performance, is better than all existing Heron UAVs operating worldwide: http://www.sundayszaman.com/sunday/detaylar.do?load=detay&link=175515 The Turkish Herons use Turkish sub-systems including a highly advanced Flir system made by ASELSAN of Turkey. The Flir system has a High Resolution IR Detector with 576x7 Focal Plane Array. The highest in its class world wide.
10. Ibrahim from Ankara
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (03.26.10)
I see you are a ZAMAN reader. This explains a lot. I suspect you hace an almond style mustache and all women in your family covers with black sheet.. Say hello to Cubbeli hoca from Ismailiye clan.
11. drones to TURKEY
behar ,   paris france   (03.26.10)
I hope the Israeli's were clever enough to hide a chip in these planes so they can blow them if need be if Turkey continues to go in the direction they are going!!!!
12. To #10- ad hominem attacks do not alter the facts
Ibrahim ,   Ankara, Turkey   (03.27.10)
Zaman is a Turkish newspaper which is quoted by many international media sources including those in Israel. And no...I actually come from a very liberal family, but you already knew that. Didn't you? And just to disprove your misconceptions I would like to state that I have jewish, christian and budist family members in addition to the muslims in my family. Oh and also the last time I heard Deniz Baykal the so-called socialist secularist was courting Cubelli Aga from the Ismailiye clan! P.S. Whats wrong with people having mustaches and women covering up? Does't all monotheistic religions including judaism demand tolerance of other religions and other people? Doesn't some Messianic Jews also have mustaches? A little respect please. I'm not here to pick a fight but rather to facilitate understanding of each other. We are not enemies but rather neigbours. Love thy neighbour. I do.
