Ofek 9 is described as an advanced remote sensing satellite

Israel has launched a surveillance satellite that will be used to spy on Iran's nuclear programme, reports say.

The satellite's high resolution camera would significantly boost Israel's intelligence gathering, officials told local media.

Israel's defence ministry said the Ofek 9 was launched from Palmachim air force base on its south coast near Tel Aviv.

It is one of at least four Israeli spy satellites currently orbiting the Earth.

"This provides Israel with greater operational flexibility, since we now have another set of eyes on a target," Chaim Eshed, the director of Israel's military space programme, told The Jerusalem Post.

"This means that we have increased the rate we can visit a target."

Israeli press reports said the satellite's high resolution cameras would boost its efforts to keep a close eye on Iran.

Israel regards Iran as the principal threat to its security after repeated references by Iranian leaders to Israel's demise.

Along with the West, it suspects Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the guise of a civilian nuclear programme, a claim Tehran denies.

Israel's last spy satellite, TecSar, was launched from India in 2008.

Besides spy satellites, Israel also has a number of communications satellites in orbit.

Iran beware !!!!!

Allah the Almighty Willing will turn the "spy satellite" them for the believers to use it in vanquishing them. Let them continue to plan their own failure. Allah is the Best of those who plan.

many decades ago, China was nothing. I remembered people going to India and people laughed at them. The two countries are now in the forefront of world's premiership. So what will happen in the future Only Allah knows.


So the satellite may benefit somebosy that it was supposed to spy against.

this allah seems to have been sleeping when Israel went from a rag-tag army of less than 100,000 to one of the top 3 most powerful military machines in the world and even developing thermonuclear, hydrogen and atomic bombs enough to obliterate iran in no more than 5 mins.

lol allah indeed. The guy is a joke.

Typical bullshit - trying to lift up the status of inept IDF. Top three in which world? The same world that includes:

1. Russia
2. USA
3. China
4. UK
5. France
6. Turkey
7. North Korea
8. South Korea
9. Vietnam
10. India
11. Pakistan
12. Iran

Which of these ten nations can the pussy-infested IDF defeat in an all-out war?

Even Israel's supplier of arms and aids, the mighty USA, was defeated by small but infinitely tough Vietnam!

Pussy IDF soldiers can only bully defenseless Palestinian civilians and uncoordinated Arab soldiers.

The "inept" IDF? lol what a joke. Ok lets look at the list you have up there and laugh . . . Iran, Pakistan, India, North Korea, South Korea, VIETNAM all stronger than the IDF? Now i know you're juts a joke. China is not stronger than the IDF, it simply has a larger army . . . ditto for Russia . . .

A good sign of your own ignorance is that Germany is missing in your list!

davidylan:

Some people obviously assume they know what they are talking about.

Okay, Israel is filled with God's "chosen people" and will defeat any nation in war, including goyim America!

Happy now?
