   Yes, the Israelis used drones very effectively in the Yom Kippur War

I believe this was the 1982 Peace-for-Galilee war.  Are the current
U.S. Navy drones made in Israel?  I'm sure the press briefings would
consider it untactful to mention the fact - especially if manufacturer's
representatives were on hand to advise on maintenance.  What other
Israeli manufactured equipment is in use?
