The unmanned planes employed in espionage activities are equipped with Tactical Airborne Reconnaissance Pod System usually carried by on F-14 Tomcat and Data Link System (DLS), a digital, wireless video link compliant with Unmanned Airborne Systems Digital Data Link waveform.
Speaking to daily Akhbar al Yaoum in its issue of Tuesday, January 21st, Mustapaha El Khalfi, Moroccan Minister of Communications and Spokesperson of the Government said that he is not aware of this deal, adding that “he is not qualified to talk about this issue.”
