India buy Israeli spy satellite


NEW DELHI : India has bought a spy satellite from Israel with day-and-night viewing capability to boost surveillance capabilities, a report said.

The satellite, which can see through clouds and carry out day-and-night all-weather imaging, has been one of the long-standing demands of the Indian military, report said.

The 300 kilogram (650 pound) RISAT 2 will be launched by India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle rocket in the next few weeks, the report added.
