News - Yemen: The Military Media published scenes of the wreckage of the downed spy plane, which was operated by US-Saudi aggression. The scenes showed the burned body of the fighting drone, Karayel, after it was shot down by Yemeni Air Defense in Al-Jawf governorate. 

The Armed Forces spokesman stated on Sunday that Air Defenses shot down the drone with undisclosed missile. This drone is the third of its kind to be shot down, as the Air Defenses managed to shoot down a KARAYEL spy drone operated by the Saudi regime in the airspace of the Al-Muhashmah area in the same governorate at the beginning of this year, and another in the Al-Salif area of Hodeidah governorate at the end of 2019.

KARAYEL Tactical UAV System is the first and only Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle designed and produced according to NATO’s STANAG-4671 for reconnaissance and surveillance purposes. 

KARAYEL system has novel triple redundant distrubted avionics architecture which ensures protection against all kinds of uncontrolled crash. With this feature, VESTEL Defence has carried systematic fault safety used only in manned aviation in the world until now to an unmanned aerial vehicle for the first time with KARAYEL.
