Germany is examining the procurement of the armed Heron TP unmanned aerial vehicle, Der Spiegel reports.
Lt. Gen. Karl Muellner, chief of staff of Luftwaffe, visited Israel recently to attend a presentation on the Heron TP.
Although the U.S. Predator drone is also being evaluated, the Heron TP is favored as the Israelis will allow modifications to be made.
