The IAI Harop is a loitering munition developed by the MBT Missiles Division of Israel Aerospace Industries. It combines the loitering endurance of an unmanned aerial vehicle with the ability to dive onto and destroy a detected target, particularly enemy air-defense radars, functioning as both a reconnaissance platform and a weapon. Turkey is reported as an early customer around 2005, and India announced its induction of the system in September 2009.
