Израиль не планирует продавать России самые совершенные беспилотные летательные аппараты, а договор о поставках БПЛА, который уже подписан двумя странами, не повлечет утечек важных технологий. Об этом, как сообщает The Jerusalem Post, заявил неназванный источник в военном ведомстве страны. Таким образом он прокомментировал информацию о том, что россияне могут использовать БПЛА для изучения технологий их производства.

Russian governmental Federal Service for Military and Technical Cooperation, Vyacheslav Dzilkarn, said June 22.

The UAVs have not yet been delivered, Dzilkarn told the official RIA Novosti news agency.
He said that the main goal of the purchase was to study Israeli technology in order to build drones in Russia.

"We must take their know-how and put it to practical use," Dzilkarn said.

The remark irked Israeli defense officials who told Israel's Jerusalem Post newspaper in comments published June 23 that Israel would not sell Russia its most advanced drones.

"We have a responsibility to safeguard our ingenious technology," an unidentified Israeli defense official was quoted as saying. "We were aware of this possibility, even though it was not said explicitly until now."
