The story of the Israeli AF reconnaissance types from the first fixed-wing manned types through all the different platforms used until the RPVs and drones of the mid 1990s the indigenous UAVs then the satellite and the Top Secret program to build and launch spy satellite not always approved of by the US. In the new millennium the IDF/AF still relies on manned photo-recce but its main reconnaissance and intelligence asset now is the orbital satellite that passes a continuous stream of information back to IDF/AF Control and Command Center with almost continuous data to permit any contingency plans to be set in motion to defend the State of Israel.
