        "summary": "Ireland's new government jet, a Dassault Falcon 6X, is reportedly unable to use its advanced anti-fog landing system because the technology was made by Israeli defence firm Elbit Systems. The system was removed due to Ireland's 2024 blacklist of Israeli defence equipment, potentially limiting the aircraft's operational flexibility in poor weather. The decision has drawn sharp criticism from Israel, while Dublin maintains the aircraft currently has no operational restrictions.",
        "content": "<p>The new jet belonging to Irish leader Taoiseach Micheal Martin is\nreportedly at risk of experiencing landing difficulties in thick fog.\nThis comes after the aircraft\u2019s advanced navigation system was removed\nbecause it was produced by an Israeli company. The \u20ac53 million Dassault\nFalcon 6X was supposed to be equipped with the FalconEye system, a\ncombination of camera and sensor technology that provides pilots with\nall-weather situational awareness, day and night, to assist with landing\nin adverse weather conditions. However, the system is manufactured by\nElbit Systems, an Israeli defence company. As the Irish government\ndecided to blacklist defence equipment from Israel in 2024, the jet was\nforced to operate without this crucial feature. Former Irish Air Corps\npilot Kevin Phipps explained that the FalconEye system gives an aircraft\nthe ability to land in fog when other planes must be diverted to\nalternative airports. Without this technology, the operational\nflexibility of the state leader\u2019s jet becomes limited. A report from The\nJournal stated that Irish procurement officials were reluctant to\nproceed with the installation because the government would have to sign\na written agreement directly with Elbit Systems, a step considered to\nviolate Ireland\u2019s current foreign policy stance towards Israel. Despite\nthis, the Department of Defence in Dublin asserted that the aircraft\ncurrently has no limitations on its operational capability.\nInterestingly, the ban on Israeli technology does not appear to be\napplied universally, as four new Irish Air Corps helicopters continue to\nuse Elbit flight systems deemed essential for the helicopters to fly.\nThe policy has drawn sharp criticism from Israel.<\/p>",
