"many a true word was spoken in jest " ......but there again knowing the French they would apprehend the Iranians ..... breath on them with their Garlic breath to flavour them..... then eat them "ar la rib" so to speak ;)
either way it would prevent them from landing in the uk along with the other nationals who wish to by pass the legal entry system :D

An Elbit Systems owned Hermes 900 Unmanned Aerial System has successfully completed a series of flight demonstrations for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency off the coast of the UK.

The demonstrations were run by the MCA and were designed to test the capabilities of using a UAS to enhance Search and Rescue (SaR) capabilities and the use of long-range unmanned capabilities in civilian airspace.

“Taking place off the West Coast of Wales over the first two weeks of September, the Hermes 900 was able to fly advanced Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) missions into unsegregated and uncontrolled airspace, in full alignment with the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The success of these trials is a significant step forward in enhancing the capabilities of the MCA as they seek to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its search and rescue operations while reducing the risk to MCA personnel in the field. Elbit Systems UK is closely collaborating with the UK Civil Aviation Authority, supported by additional UK companies, including Inzpire and Aviation Systems Group.”

In the recent demonstration, the firm say that their Hermes 900 equipped with search and rescue specific radar, an Automatic Identification System (AIS), EO/IR payload, an Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) and full satellite communications, was deployed on a range of missions that simulated shore-line rescues, water rescues in dangerous air space and long-distance ship rescues which crossed international air space lines.
