Kilograms aren't weight, they are mass.

Try newtons next time.

"The IDF is about to receive what is considered the world's best unmanned aircraft – the Eitan.

The Eitan is physically larger than any other drone and can fly at higher altitudes. It can also carry more weight – several thousand newtons, compared to the 2452.5-newton maximum currently carried by Israel's most advanced drone.

The Eitan's role would be to operate in the highest altitudes, along with other aircraft flying at lower altitudes. The new drone will be providing an effective means at all theaters, with an emphasis on distant ones – including Iran."

Since it's from an Israeli paper, my guess is it's a tad biased. Even though the Israelis do make some nice kit...

kit   

Clothes, something that is removed when someone gets their kit off. Originally Kittel, a white cotton or linen robe worn by orthodox Jews on certain holy days (also used as a shroud), overall, smock. Yiddish from MHG ultimately from Arabic source, cogn. with ‘cotton’

"Helen Mirran is famous for taking her kit off"

Yes, they would make some nice kit.

Hey, they've got broken F-4s, F-5s, MiGs, and Sukhois, too. Don't sell them short.

also a nuke that will bring about the end of the world, as isreal would say.

The only thing that Iran has are those S-300 missiles from Russia or something, they're stocking up on all sorts of big AA missiles.

Still don't know how Israel is going to get to Iran without the help of neighbouring countries, of which none will help, even if they do hate Iran. They probably still hate Israel abit more. It's way different to when they attacked the Iraqi nuclear reactor. People look at that operation and automatically assume it would be just as easy to do it to Iran. People need to maybe look at a simple map first.

It ain't gonna happen. Especially not if/when Iran actually do end up making a nuclear bomb.

Easy.

They will fly over airspace without authority and when they protest, Isreal will tell them to go do one.  Might even have time for a nice cuppa in Iraq on their way back.
