Also participating in the war are the UAV operators of the artillery units: Unit 5252 "Zik", which attacks and destroys targets using remotely manned aircraft. and teams of "Sky Rider" and "Sky Galloper" units, which operate aircraft and assist in gathering observations, identifying threats, directing attacks and accompanying the maneuvering forces, using unique technological capabilities.
The corps started the war, like the rest of the army, by jumping on the seventh of October. The entire corps was mobilized and launched into war, both in the north and in the south. The IAF's activities were accompanied by several key acts. In total, during the fighting, the rocket battalions of the Artillery Corps fired more than 200 precision rockets at dozens of high-precision targets using MLRS launchers.

From the first stage of the war, the soldier assisted the fire operations of the command and general staff echelons, but his main emphasis was assistance in maneuvers and ground forces. The positioning system, which is built from the Makam Haraz system, assisted the Air Force's missions in protecting the skies and also in mediating the field to the forces operating in it. In total, this division carried out more than 600 mediations and field registrations in the southern arena alone and more in the northern arena.
One of the October 7 battles was led by the commander, Eden Nemri, who fought inside the war room until she was killed. The four female fighters who were with her were lightly wounded and returned to service and action. The Sky Rider team is a team that was in Nahal Oz and the commander there fought with those who were at the post to protect her team and also fought until the end until they killed her. Of course I know and I've talked to the family and the fighters
