Why Israel's Hermes 900 Is Getting Shot Down

The Elbit Hermes 900 is a long range ISR drone widely used by Israel since 2014, but recent conflicts have exposed its vulnerabilities. In 2024, multiple Hermes 900 drones were shot down over Lebanon by Hezbollah, marking the first confirmed losses of the platform.

Losses continued during the 2025 conflict between Israel and Iran, where several drones were reportedly downed by Iranian air defenses. These incidents highlight how even advanced medium altitude drones are increasingly at risk in contested airspace, especially against modern surface to air systems.
