HOW EXCITING
2. Israel's enemies are no match
Salim ,   Canada   (10.14.12)
Baruch Hashem, Israel has the best minds in the world. They will, with Hashem's help, always be several steps ahead of the their evil enemies. Congratulations to the scientists in Israel who have created such a masterful piece of military technology. This will go a long way to making Israel and the world a safer place.

Of course they won't tell the world (and their enemies who are watching closely) all the improvements that they have installed. Be sure that Israel has learnt volumes from their experience, including from this most recent drone incursion from Lebanon. The enemies of Israel don't understand that Hashem is firmly on the side of the Jewish state.

Eat your heart out, oh jealous one! Do you know what the absolute best part is? I will tell you. If Israel is selling this technology to other countries, it means that it has developed something that far surpasses what it is selling. Go ahead, gnash your teeth, pummel the wall and bang your head once or twice. You're already so mentally defective, it won't make a bit of difference.

that drone is probabyl made in US and made by US tax payer money.

surely he is already so mentally defective
10. Intresting point everyone seems to be missing
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (10.14.12)
is buried in this announcement that new digital cameras have been fitted to the drone. Is that Israel is going to replace it's radar systems. Appears that Israel didn't detect the drone as previously announced in the 'official' story about what happened. No doubt Sarah B will now start lobbying the American taxpayer to pay for it.

"Bragging is Jewish." No other nations,civilizations, faiths do it? Are you an idiot? Does it come naturally to you?

Sorry to disappoint you, but certain Israeli electronics are world class to the point where even the US and other nations purchase them. Being from Canada shouldn't worry you though.Even Canada has bought advanced electronics and computers from the Jewish State.
13. the jews and israelis
(10.14.12)
will always be a thousand steps ahead of the arabs no matter what. you know why? because the jews and israelis are totally brilliant. the arabs are totally uneducated and primitive.

especially when one knows they have so so so very much to brag about. just look at the amount of nobel prizes they get compared to their total jewish population in the world to realize you are dealing here with geniuses as a nation.

israel is one of the strongest nations and armies in the world. they know who and what they are. no one needs a moral lift. i assure you. israelis are cocky for a very good reason.
16. 6 hahjhahahaha!
(10.14.12)
say what? has not happened for 63 years and will never happen. believe me, it is your wet dream, but eventually you'll be waking up to the reality that there is no way on earth anyone is going to be able to destroy israel.

no israeli drone has ever been made in the usa and ELBIT and ISRAELI AIR FORCE INDUSTRIES have never gotten a single cent from the usa when they built these drones. in fact, it is the usa that begged israel to sell them the israeli uav's to use in afghanistan. these israeli uav's are the envy of all world military. even turkey ordered them and got them from israel and NOT FROM THE USA BECAUSE THE TURKS KNOW THE ISRAELI ONES ARE SUPERIOR. now, go lick your wounds.

Israeli detection of the drone occurred well before it crossed into Israeli territory. The American taxpayer doesn't doesn't have to pay for advanced Israeli electronics in many instances.Don'y worry.

never read a more stupid and mendacious response as yours. what are you, 5 years old? common! brighten up please and stop embarasing yourself.

The majority of Israeli Jews were born in Israel. Where should they "go back to?"

Israeli drones are all Israeli technology. Israel invented UAVS and their operational doctrine. US UAVS are derived from Israeli designs and technology, not the other way around as you surmise in your gross ignorance.

The US Predator drone was created by an Israeli

resort to personal attacks. As do all losers!
25. One Iron Dome battery would make me a lot happier.
Miron ,   USA   (10.15.12)
The only thing that can make me look at this piece of hardware is if it can show how it can better track the launch batteries identified by Iron Dome radar. Unless this is an integrated device I call it complete and utter waste of money. And in times when price of yogurt is on the watch it's not such a little thing to say!
26. #19 Yes typical response
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (10.15.12)
don't like the message then attack the messenger. Fact is buried inside this article is an announcement to replace Israel's radar system, not just one or two radar stations, the whole thing. Don't want me to point it out fair enough, you should be attacking Ynet for publishing the message not the messenger

Where did you serve in the IDF?
28. 8 - check your facts first next time
zionist forever   (10.15.12)
That UAV you believe is made in the US and paid for with US money is actually an Israeli design exported to 12 countries ( US included ) under the name Heron. Your native Canada is also leasing one from Israel for use in Afghanistan so unless your country is sending the rent check for the UAV to the wrong place and should be going to America then looks like your mistaken Right now there are quite a few Israeli designed UAVS patrolling the skies over Afghanistan ( I wonder what the Afghans would say if the caught onto that fact ) They are also not paid for by American taxpayers as they are designed and built in Israel and American military aid money must be spent in America. Israel was designing & operating UAVS since the early 80s before the US started using them because the establishment considered them to be expensive remote control planes and preferred to make multi billion Dollar impressive looking equipment to gather intelligence rather than the humble UAV. I suggest you check your facts next time.

Iron Dome is not designed to shoot down UAVS. Iron Dome is designed to shoor down short range katusha like rockets. Arrow is designed to shoot down ballistic missiles and there is a third system currently in development code named Davids Sling thats designed to shoot down UAVS, medium range rockets like Hezbollah use and cruise missiles but that is not operational yet. Got caught off guard when Hezbollah sent that UAV deep into Israel and we are just lucky it didn't happen in wartime and hopefully the defence establishment will learn from this and fix the problem, As for the new cameras boasting about these is just a face saving measure after the incident with the Hezbollah UAV and possibly a little message to them that you got lucky but we are still watching you so don't try anything stupid. As these new cameras are nothing more than an upgrade of hardware on an existing machine I wouldn't have thought it would have even been announced to the press if it hadn't have been for that incident. ( not impressive enough ).

Nice try. If you are familier with current practices in Israel when it comes to discussing your military service, on the Internet it is now forbidden under threat of court martial. Yet another nail in your coffin of pretending to have anything to do with Israel
