1. I doubt the arabs will be happy

Although the Amos series is a communications satellite the IDF have access to them if they want it. What I don't understand though why they are calling this Amos 5 if Amos 4 is under construction still? Wouldn't it have been more logical to brand it that way?
2. Doesn't sound like an "Israeli" satellite

If the satellite was made by a Russian company, launched in Kazakhstan on a non-Israeli rocket, it hardly merits an Israeli moniker. Maybe they should have called it Boris.
3. what other than ownership is there israeli about this

Bernie ,   Israel   (12.11.11)
Perhaps made in Russia, but paid for by Israel so it is Israeli!! If your car was made in Japan, does the Japanese still own it? I didn't think so...
5. The Persians won't be happy either....

The satellite itself was made in Israel but the Amos series are bigger and heavier than the Ofeks and need a more powerful launch vehicle that the Israeli Shavit launcher.

Amos 5 is the only member of the Amos series that was not an designed by Spacecom although all the Amos series have been launched by foreign rockets because they are to heavy for the Israeli launch vehicle.

You ignore reality that counters your preconceived "facts" (reality such as all the other Israeli satellites and advances)...as usual.
11. #5 make sure do not fly it over Iran we might down it
reza shah ,   tehran   (12.11.11)
and add it up with our collections of RQ170's
12. #11...you make us laugh
An American Patriot ,   San Antonio, TX   (12.11.11)
There is a BIG difference between "shooting down" and having an Islamist president looking to overthrow our Constitution and make us a slave state like Iran GIVE Tehran the UAV. As I remember the over 300 Iranians murdered in 2009 by YOUR own government, I also recall the recent explosions at YOUR facilities that have literally wiped them out, the demise of your terrorist nuke producers and the rather rampant growth of homosexuality amongst the ayatollahs. The sheep however are grateful!

Hi Reza. You now have a 'collection' of one. It's 4 years old and it fell in your backyard because it failed mechanically. The one thing you can be sure of is that the NEW drones will be carrying a little surprise in the future. The day your military can do anything but blow itself up is still far in the distance, but never-mind that, we will blow up your stuff for you in the VERY near future. Maybe you should carve a slot for a rial, so you can charge for rides on it while your 'scientists" figure out which end is up. By the time you figure that out, the next generations will be targeting and relaying. See Ya real soon Reza. You actually believe the lying mullahs are gonna protect you dont you. Get your 'tank running" shoes on and get ready. Shalom Israel, Rob
15. I think the next drones will have a self-destruct feature

when you open the hatch without the secret code. 72 virgins for the guy who opens the door and everyone close.

The equipment on board is what counts.

And your point is...? The article you refer to states that Netanyahu is a liar. But he doesn't post here. You do. And you are "the pot calling the kettle black"; you are the one who has fixated on "truth" (ie your own) while ignoring facts. At the end of the article is written "Jews are not fools". Very apropos. You are the one posting lies...inevitably.
