So on the facts, the claim stands up. All three are in Israel's military supply chain, all have IDF or Unit 8200 veterans at the top, and the IDF uses all three firms' products. Full profiles on @Powerbase, with sources, below.
3. Magos Systems makes AI surveillance radars. CEO Aviel Kisliansky is a former IDF radar captain. In June 2026 the IDF ordered hundreds of its radars to warn troops of Hezbollah drones on the Lebanon border, after eight already in service performed well.
2. UVision makes Hero "suicide drones". Israel's MoD bought the Hero-30 and IDF units have used it since 2020; the US Army, Marines and Special Ops buy the Hero-120. Its chairman Yair Naveh was IDF deputy chief of staff. Israeli database DIMSE says its drones were used in Gaza.
1. Axon Vision makes AI targeting software for armoured vehicles and drones. Co-founder Ido Rozenberg is a former Unit 8200 commander. Its systems are on IDF Namer and Eitan APCs, and it says Gaza and Lebanon reshaped its roadmap. Its ex-CEO was the IDF's chief artillery officer.
Iran's cyberspace chief Mohammad-Amin Aghamiri says Iran knows of tech workers collaborating with Israel's military industries. He named three firms, Axon Vision, UVision and Magos, and told their staff to resign.
Is there any truth in this, or is it Iranian propaganda? 🧵
Ever hear about the Hummus Trail? A well-established network of backpacking routes and destinations across India favoured by young 'Israelis', just out of military service.
