Israel Defense Forces Navy Unleashes "Death Shark" Against Terrorism


Jerusalem----October 20.....Israel has been well known in leading the global defense industry out of its very survival since 1948.

In the most recent unveiling the Israel Navy has now deployed a speedboat drone capable of reaching enemy targets hundreds of miles from Israel shores.

The unmanned speedboat is equipped with a remote-controlled machine gun capable of being operated with laser accuracy up to a range of 50 kilometers, reportedly the first of its kind in the world.

Private defense analysts who have studied photos of the "Death Shark" or what the IDF brands as the "Protector" state that the Rafael Industries weapon is equipped with at least four cameras, as well as a sonar or radar system and electro-optics capable of providing a three-dimensional image.
