Aeronautics profit up despite police woes
Embattled drone maker Aeronautics saw its profits grow by 5% to $40 million in the third quarter of the year, compared to the same quarter in 2016. The growth comes primarily due to revenues from its sales of unmanned aircraft and electrooptic systems. The company’s share increased 6% in trade in Tel Aviv on Wednesday. The growth comes even as the drone maker is facing a criminal investigation by Israeli police involving a transaction with a major customer. The affair is under gag order. In August, it was reported that the Defense Ministry launched an investigation into a complaint that the company had carried out a demonstration at Azerbaijan’s request of a kamikaze drone on a manned Armenian army post.
