The Silver Arrow Sniper is a reconnaissance UAV developed in Israel in the 1990s.

The Sniper's configuration resembles that of a conventional private aircraft with fixed tricycle landing gear, driven by a nose-mounted propeller and a 28.5 kW (38 horsepower) piston engine. Its only unusual feature is an upright vee tail.
