IDF Shows Precision Airdrop Capability with 7-Ton Resupply of Water to Troops in Gaza
(Breaking Defense) Seth J. Frantzman - The IDF announced last week that a "logistical airdrop that included parachuting about seven tons of water to hundreds of IDF soldiers currently engaged in combat in Khan Yunis took place over the last few days." Great precision is required when operating in tight, urban areas, said Israeli Maj.-Gen. (res.) Uzi Dayan, a former Deputy Chief of Staff. He said it was a test case for how Israel could resupply troops on long-range operations. The airdrop made the first use of an "advanced operational system that enables parachuting equipment to ground forces using precise navigational capabilities."
