Mord, the USA know in every minute what is flying in the Israeli airspace. They don't need this radar for it.
Even their ships of the US fleet in the mediterranian see have radar that covers great parts of Israel. In addition to that they have great AWAKS planes flying and this planes are covering even most of the valleys.
This radar is only usefull for air-defense. :)

Yes, this radar is useful for air-defense, but its basic design and placement may be such that it may be even unintentionally working as a double edged sword.

Shalom,
At first this X-band radar installation did not bother me. But the more I read about it the more I think it is not a good thing. I think that this will further make Israel a dependent of the US government. Why would Israel allow a foreign nation to set up a military installation in the country if they dont have access to the information.
I am not a conspiracy buff but this stinks to me.

I thought that the Israeli air defense has direct access to the data. :o
In other case this system makes not really sense.

Pheasant,
I read an article linked from Carl in Jerusalems http://israelmatzav.blogspot.com which says:

Israel will have no direct access to the data collected by the radar, which looks like a giant taco. It will only be fed intelligence second hand, on a need-to-know basis, from the Americans — unless the radar picks up an immediate, direct attack on Israel, Israeli sources claim. And Israeli officials expressed concern that the radar's installation may anger Moscow, since its range will enable the U.S. to monitor aircraft in the skies over southern Russia. When the U.S. stationed anti-missile radar and interceptor systems in Poland and the Czech Republic — ostensibly directed at a future Iranian threat, although the Russians believe their own missile capability is its real target — Moscow warned those countries that the move could result in their being added to the target list of Russia's missiles.

If this article is true {we should research} then it doesnt make sense...
