The tactical center of the Israel Air Force’s Remotely Piloted Aircraft division at the Palmachim air base is festooned with flags. Flying alongside the Star of David are the flags of the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Italy. Inside the building are dozens of air crew from the six countries, receiving their orders for the sorties to be flown in an hour. On their different colored flight suits are stylized Velcro patches with white arrows converging over a dark silhouette of Israel’s coastline.
