Israel offers satellite pictures of Kashmir
TEL AVIV,
FEB. 11.
Israel is favourably inclined towards providing India with high resolution pictures of Kashmir from its photoreconnaissance Ofeq-5 satellites.
Israeli officials have said sharp cuts in the Defence Ministry and the close strategic relations with New Delhi have led to a review of its policy of limiting the access of its photoreconnaissance satellite to itself, Middle East Newsline said in a report.
India had submitted a request to buy pictures, either delivered directly or via Israel, in exchange for a fixed fee during the September visit of the Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, according to the report.
Performance data about Ofeq 5 is said to be classified, but its pictures reportedly have a resolution of 50 cm.
It was built by the Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) Mabat division and launched in the spring of 2002 from Israel's Shavit satellite launcher.
