and Israel has not had a weapons inspection...so...just another way for them to send off some nuclear missles or tomahawks. I'm terrified that they have the weapons technology that they have...and they have used what they do have to oppress the people. Here's a scary question: Where do you think they are getting the money to buy and build these weapons....eh?

It must be them damn Russian Communists.

Or maybe the Zionists?

Meh..could be the Palestinians... ;P

o god what the hell are they going to use those for?

i just hope to hell that this dosnt turn into another iraq...

I don't really see how practical a sub is for Israel, is it primarily used as a platform to launch missiles against land targets?

its said in the book of revalatiosn that the last battle of the apokoyplse will be faught in isreal.

That's what I would think, seeing as they have no opponents across a body of water. Strange.

DaRage,

excellent question.

previous subs were paid for by Germany and given to Israel out of guilt reparations.

I would expect much the same thing to happen this time.

israeili subs

If you examine israeli naval history, they actually have had quite a bit to do defending their small but very active waterways.

A submarine is much more than just a missile platform. They are the most effective anti-submarine weapon platform available.

An israelis frigate was sunk by a syrian cruise missile in the 73 war.

The Germans make the best diesel electric boats bar none. I find it ironic that they germans are making submarines for the israelis.

With the russians selling Kilos (their diesel electric sub) to anyone with hard cash, oil, or wheat. It only makes sense to improve their ASW capabilities.

but then again I could be wrong...

or not.
