The Adani Group has spoken to the Financial Times in response to critical Indian media reports surrounding their export of Hermes 900 UAV aero-structures and subsystems to Israel. The company emphasizes that the UAVs in question are designed solely for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
Various media outlets have alleged that these drones possess armed capabilities and may have been used for bombing targets. However, IAI, the developer of the Hermes 900 platform, notes that while it offers a 450kg payload capacity suitable for various applications, the company has never explicitly confirmed the ability to be armed.
The Hermes 900 is a medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) drone widely used for ISR, but with potential suitability for weaponization. The Adani Group’s partnership with Israel’s Elbit Systems includes the manufacture of Hermes 900 components in India.
