The new snake technolgy
Channel 2 showed video of the snake twisting into caves, tunnels, cracks and buildings, broadcasting pictures and sound back to a soldier controlling it with a laptop computer.
You can watch here the report 
from Channel 2 Israel
The snake appeared to be about six feet (two meters) long. Covered by fabric in military camouflage colors, it slithered along the ground and climbed rocks, its segments connected with joints that flexed in several different directions. Channel 2 said military researchers studied real snakes to copy their movements.
The report said no price has been determined for the snake, which is in the experimental stage, but the Israeli military plans to deploy the robot with combat units. No target date was given.
The report suggested another role for the robot _ carrying a bomb to blow up militants or a building. In that case, Channel 2 said, it would be a suicide snake.

All sarcasam aside this has the potential to save frum lives too and not just (Zionist) soldiers lives. But then again does it make difference ? Last time I checked, it's all the same, frum or non-frum.

Umm....becuase it obviously isn't top secret.
Just because you haven't heard of it of it before, doesn't mean it's a "top secret" application or idea. Robots of all shapes and sizes have been used in warfare for decades. Better to risk a machine than a person, even if that person is a "dib". And if you knew what "dib" stood for, you, a poshuter, ehrlich. fummer yid, would not be using that expression. Shame on you, and your ignorance.
Whatever you think about the Medina, you wouldn't be able to live the ruchnias-free life that you so enjoy in the USA without it. Get that straight.
"Oy, Ribono Shel Olam, I don't think we could ever learn".

Also #2. IMI and Elbit are businesses. The reason for the publicity is to make sales to foreign military and police forces. The device has great application for police and security work worldwide. P.S. this isn't exactly TOP SECRET
