Hezbollah Ayoub / Ayub

The name Hezbollah gave to the reconnaissance drone shot down over Israel in October 2012. Nasrallah claimed Iranian manufacture and assembly in Lebanon. This is a named historical platform claim, not a checked manufacturer specification or a synonym for all Hezbollah aircraft.[1][2]
