50 Italian Falco UAVs?
Once the Italian Parliament has ratified an agreement with Libya, Selex Galileo plans to sell up to 50 of its Falco Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to the North African country, for border surveillance. The deal may also involve a degree of local assembly.
The Falco has underwing hardpoints for external fuel tanks, which could also be used to mount missiles including the Lockheed Martin / Raytheon Javelin, the Raytheon TOW or the Thales Lightweight Multi-role Missile.
