Israeli-made drone aircraft at the heart of a fierce political row between Israel and the US are likely to be a key element of any Chinese invasion of Taiwan, a Taiwanese military analyst said yesterday.
The US has imposed a series of tough military sanctions against Israel to pressure it to confiscate "Harpy" drone aircraft parts that China returned to state-owned manufacturer Israel Aircraft Industries last year.
Israel says the return was for routine maintenance, but Washington contends it was for an important technological upgrade. Israeli military officials have said work on the Harpy deal has been frozen.
