2. Oh hoho! Israeli Ingenuity is endless!
Elan ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (04.04.14)
3. vast potential

This is good news. Now the south can be designated as an official target zone for preliminary practice and maneuvers, and to test the capabilities of this remarkable new achievement. Level the first 8 miles, for starters. This would set up a new "buffer zone" and flush the rats out. It would further the cause of humanity and be a major step in the peace process.
4. Great news!!
Salim ,   Canada   (04.04.14)
Hopefully this will work so effectively that the terror threat from Gaza will finally end. I knew that it was only a matter of time before the brilliant Jewish mind would find an answer to this constant source of irritation.
5. Good news.
Beary White ,   Norway   (04.04.14)
Effective weapons are good weapons. Hopefully they will reduce rocket-attacks from the pals.

Impressive - another DEFENSIVE weapon. Isn't offense the best defense ?! Start with something ridiculously cheap and simple - disconnect the terrorists electricity - but you have no balls for this, Bibi !
10. Pala&Arabs are making Israel a leader in technology.Impressd
Alan ,   Sa   (04.04.14)
11. How much is this a pop then?
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (04.04.14)
And in case you didn't get the memo the Allies have pulled out of Iraq and are about to leave Afghanistan as soon as the elections are finished. There is a lot of people getting very rich by Israeli politicians repeated failures not to establish a two state solution t
12. Swedish invention, as far as i remember
Peter ,   Jerusalem   (04.04.14)
This is not an israeli idea. It may have a lot of embedded israeli R&D but the idea itself is not new. There are probably a hundred companies making wheels, not a single one "invented the wheel".
13. Lets show them..
Counter attack ,   Tel-Aviv, Israel   (04.04.14)
the full MORTY.
14. #12 Peter ...Ideas are great...BUT
moshe ,   Tivon, Israel   (04.04.14)
12 Peter: Ideas like the wheel are great! BUT it takes (good) designers and engineers to turn an idea into a USEFUL tool. COST, RELIABILITY, EASE of USE, are CRUCIAL ! A great idea poorly engineered can become a tragic shambles. Examples: 1. Reliability : German WW1dirigible, the "Zepplin" filled with explosive Hydrogen. 2. Cost: Israeli Iron Vane to intercept Gazan UNguided missiles...only when a target is endangered. 3. Ease of Use: USA cluster bombs: 70% (thousands of bombs) had faults, dropped but did NOT explode...except when discovered unexploded... tampered with by children or the naive. Israeli designed cluster bombs: 95% explode as intended: as bombs...why? BETTER DESIGN. moshe
15. AKA...Raytheon-IMI 120GM DAGGER, developed in 2009
