Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry intends to buy 10 multi-mission pilotless reconnaissance aircrafts Hermes 450 from Israeli Silver Arrow company, reports GPSearch.Org with reference to a source from the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan.

As is reported "the purchased pilotless aircrafts will be used to control the areas, occupied by Armenians".

"While selecting the technique, we took into account its "invisibility" for the enemy's air defense", said the source.

The reference of the AirWar.ru website says: "Hermes 450 is a multi-mission pilotless aircraft, invented by Israeli Silver Arrow. It is designed for observation, patrol, reconnaissance and correction of fire support as well as communication maintenance during hostilities. Hermes 450 is designed of composite materials, which makes it difficult to reveal it by enemy's air defense systems. It flies in the autonomous regime by using GPS fata. Hermes 450 flies and lands from the low prepared landing strip extending to up to 350 meters".
