Israel Aerospace Sells Two Satellites to Azerbaijan for $120 Million
(Globes) Dean Shmuel Elmas - Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) on Tuesday signed an agreement to sell two long-life OptSat500 satellites with high imaging capabilities to Azerbaijan space agency Azercosmos for $120 million. Relations between the two countries are based not only on the export of Azerbaijani oil to Israel and the import of weapons from Israel, but also on significant cooperation against Tehran. Azerbaijan, like Iran, is a Shiite country but secular. Therefore, Tehran is trying to undermine it and develop pro-Iranian militias in its territory without success, partly due to Israeli assistance in monitoring and countermeasures.
