India launched an Israeli-built military spy satellite today as it strengthens its security system after last year's Mumbai attacks exposed glaring loopholes in the defense apparatus. The spy satellite launch also highlights growing defense ties between Israel and India. The all weather spy satellite was capable of providing clear images throughout the year, he said. India sped up the satellite launch after last November's Mumbai attacks, in which at least 166 people were killed by 10 gunmen, catching the country's security agencies completely by surprise. "The satellite launch is yet another manifestation of India's relationship with Israel," Uday Bhaskar, a strategic expert, said. The launch of an Israeli satellite last year from an Indian base created controversy after Iran alleged that the satellite would be used to take images of Iran. India and Israel denied this. India is expanding its space capabilities and last year, it launched 10 satellites into orbit from a single rocket and sent its first unmanned moon mission, joining the Asian space race in the footsteps of rival China. |
