The Vietnamese are considering acquiring the Israeli Heron drone.

Vietnam is evaluating the purchase of Israeli-developed equipment, including advanced unmanned air systems, with the maritime surveillance version of Israel Aerospace Industries’ Heron 1 being one candidate.

[….]

Now operated by the Israeli air force as a “subcontractor” for the Israeli navy, the maritime-roled Heron 1 carries an Elta Systems search radar and an electro-optical sensor. An IAI source says the size of the aircraft’s payload bay and its available electrical supply mean additional systems can also be integrated, such as electronic countermeasures equipment.

Interesting.
