Talk:Dimona Radar Facility

Untitled
Please expand this article. Does someone know what kind of radar is this? Has it a turnable antenna on its top?

Diversion of search results
This article is a bit presumptious in that ownership is indeterminable under existing protocols and international laws, moreover stands to divert page views from the dimona nuclear weapons site.

Why no relevance
The article is short. However, it is a military facility in a conflict area, so not much information is available. But the facility itsself is very remarkable, as its towers are with a height of 400 metres the tallest towers of Israel and taller than every man-made structure in the European Union. Further, they are probably the tallest towers used for radar purpose in the world. As radar facilities are usually installed in domes and not on supertall towers the radar is also very remarkale. So no reason for deletion! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.46.207.28 (talk) 18:49, 7 October 2008 (UTC) of course its relevent to violation of National integrity in the airwaves (as it violates Palestinas territory and neighboring Nations e.g. Egypt, Jordan, Occupied Judea etc.) Oh, and by the way, the aforementioned countries are nowhere near Europe, an entirely seperate continent, and as such, your link to the EU is misplaced. you had better compare it to the tower of bb-el!

I agree that it should not be deleted. --Ilnyckyj (talk) 04:01, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

The towers should not be condused with AN/TPY-2
AN/TPY-2 is surely US-owned. What about the towers? Flayer (talk) 07:30, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Could we be more specific with the location? http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1846749,00.html It is located at Har Karen (mount karen), this is near shivta and kitziot prison. The name Dimona radar facility is misleading (likely with reason). I have personally seen the Dimona Radar Facility while serving in the IDF. The Facility is within a kilometer from an infantry training base of the IDF. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.218.139.164 (talk) 15:30, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Also, it is no longer "under contruction" but rather fully operational and manned by both Israeli Soldiers and US military personnel. I am not good an updating wikipages, could someone please do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.218.139.163 (talk) 15:33, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

There is apparently one US radar facility in Israel, staffed with 120 US servicemen. But where is it? Near Dimona in the eastern Negev as this article would have it, or at Har Keren in the western Negev as other sources have it? Perhaps the two sites are part of the same system? Details about this powerful radar seem to be top secret information and shrouded in mystery. ImTheIP (talk) 00:54, 18 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Correct, the article was mixing two different facilities. This one is about the Dimona Radar Facility. Nothing to do with "AN/TPY-2 X-band radar, which can detect missiles up to 1,500 miles / 2,400 kilometers away" and which is "owned and operated by the US military, and provide only secondhand intelligence to Israel". The Dimona radar facility is all Israeli. Dan Palraz (talk) 12:09, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
