Israel recently announced a plan to retire 33 Textron (NYSE: TXT  ) AH-1 Cobra helicopter gunships. News reports suggest that the Cobras’ role will, in the future, be taken over by unmanned “drone” aircraft — armed to the teeth with air-to-surface guided missiles. Already, one former Israeli Cobra squadron is said to have been equipped with Israeli “Hermes 900” unmanned aerial vehicles.MORE
