Morocco successfully tests the SpyX kamikaze drone

New drone flight demonstration. In a video made of the test, we see the device successfully strike a decommissioned armored vehicle of the Royal Armed Forces (FAR) at a speed of 250 km/h with a military "AT/AP" type payload. "In the video, and precisely from 1:53 min, we can clearly see that the SpyX has hit a Moroccan Ratel vehicle out of service. Indeed, we can deduce that this is another test in Morocco," explains Abdelhamid Harifi, defense expert, to Médias24.

With a range of 50 km, for a flight time of 90 minutes, the SpyX kamikaze drone from the Israeli company BlueBird Aero Systems, from the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) group, can carry a 2.5 kg warhead, and a maximum total weight of 10 kg. Launched from a rail mounted on a vehicle, the device is equipped with a 100% electric propulsion. 2 meters long and 1.4 meters wide, SpyX is described by its creators as "accurate", "advanced" and "easily deployable by a small team". The device has a margin of error of barely one meter, which offers the military forces additional maneuvering capabilities, particularly in terms of reconnaissance and targeted air strikes, while allowing rapid mobility in various circumstances, depending on the terrain and geography.

"SpyX not only enhances situational awareness and enables precise and effective strikes, but it also revolutionizes tactical superiority on the battlefield," Ronen Nadir, CEO of BlueBird Aero Systems, had said in a press release.
