Vietnam to Buy Two Spy Satellites from Israel
(Ha'aretz) Yossi Melman - Israel Aerospace Industries has signed a deal to supply Vietnam's Military Intelligence with two spy satellites for $680 million to help Hanoi address China's provocations against its neighbors in the South China Sea. IAI will supply Vietnam with an optical imagery photography satellite and a synthetic-aperture radar satellite that provides a picture of the ground even at night or through complete cloud cover. In the past 15 years, Israel has sold a range of spy, communications, weather and research satellites to 23 countries including Italy, India, Morocco and Azerbaijan.
