According to the defense establishment, the Oron is a multi-functional, multi-branch aircraft with revolutionary operational and technological capabilities. It was developed by the Ministry of Defense’s Directorate of Defence Research & Development in collaboration with Israel Aerospace Industries.

The aircraft became operational during the ongoing war, fulfilling critical military needs, and has already completed hundreds of operational sorties. Its arrival at Nevatim marks a new phase in its activation process, including the Air Force’s adoption of its maintenance platform.
