The Zionist father of drones

Argazkia: Getty Images

In the 1950s, the U.S. military began using drones for custody and recognition missions in conflict zones. On 3 July 1994, the first flight of the unarmed Predator drone took place. In July 1995, Predator flew above the Balkans in surveillance missions. It should be noted that, until the year 2000, the battery autonomy of the drones was 15 minutes and their load was continuous. Starting in 2000, the CIA began sending drones to Afghanistan and the first armed drones were launched following the September 11 attacks. On 4 February 2002, the United States first used the first armed Predator. The goal was to kill Osama bin Laden. For his part, innocent Afghan Daraz Khan was killed while collecting junk. The first Predator armed drone has established a new era with Zionist roots.

Abraham Karem was born in Baghdad in 1937. At the age of 14 he emigrated to Israel along with his family of Jewish origin. There he trained as an engineer in one of the most prestigious universities. He studied, entered the Zionist army and worked for seven years. In 1974 he decided to set up his own company and start designing drones. The first drone built by Karem did so for the Zionist army, which was later used against the Arabs in the Yom Kippur war. The Israeli army did not receive the attention it expected and in 1977 decided to go to the United States in search of better luck.

He founded a small company in Los Angeles, Leading Systems Inc, where he founded the first drone that Karem flew in the United States. He started his career and has since registered patents on 20 vehicles, but his most famous invention is MQ-1 Predator, who "debuted" in Afghanistan and continues to work in the US and in the air forces of several countries. The result of his work leads to the alias Drone father, the father of the Drones.

When he first got to know each other, Aerean Space magazine said the Predator plane would change the world. And that's it. Today, the most deadly drone in the United States is General Atomics MQ- 9 Reaper, also known as Predator B. That is, after what Karem invented. It is an aircraft over 20 metres, weighing almost five tonnes. Governed thousands of kilometres away, it reaches 300 kilometres per hour, loaded with four Hellfire missiles and several explosives, and remains in the air for 14 hours. The United States has over 300 such drones, according to official data from 2021. Their cost is around 32 million dollars each.
