Highlighting the Zionist aggressive military capabilities

Despite the fact that the name is “Israel Defense Force (IDF)” and that the “Tel Aviv” Government describes its mission as follows: “Defending the (Israeli) presence, the safety of (Israel’s) lands and sovereignty, and defending the (Israeli) citizen and fighting against all forms of terrorism that undermine the ( Israeli) life, despite all this the Zionist occupation army has great offensive capabilities and is using them in its aggression and its ongoing wars against the Palestinians and the countries surrounding the occupied Palestine. 

This army, according to international military estimates, is one of the World advanced armies technically and in terms of the quality of the military equipment; for (Israel) has a technological advanced military arsenal that is enhanced with a secret nuclear force. 

International military estimates indicate that (Israel) is the second in terms of its military capabilities after the United States, and media reports recently published have revealed that “Tel Aviv” began to develop its military capabilities with a new generation of weapons designed to counter any Iranian attack or fight any possible war with Syria or Hezbollah or the Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas” in the Gaza Strip. 

Media reports quoting from senior military officials in Israel mentioned that the military leaders are working on a plan to confront Iran in the event of the failure of the diplomatic efforts to end its nuclear program, which is as insisted by “Tel Aviv”, the United States, and its allies in London, Berlin and Paris intended to produce nuclear weapons. 

Additionally, it promoted what is known as the “Iron Dome”, where the leadership of the Zionist army tested successfully a system that fires a number of missiles to intercept and drop any rockets fired by Hezbollah from southern Lebanon or by the Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip. 

In the same context, the Zionist army command works in the moment on the development of the missile system “arrow” that is prepared to intercept and drop down long-range missiles of the model “the Iranian Shahab missile” outside the atmosphere.
 
In the context of its efforts to maintain the superiority of its air force, the (UPI.com) website noted that the Government of “Tel Aviv” is working on getting (f-35) planes which are featured by including a system to generate energy, and radars, as well as the bird-mail and missiles system. The website reported that the process of the transfer of the (f-35) aircraft will not take place before the year 2016. The website mentioned that (Israel) needs about seventy-five (f-35) aircraft, their cost worth 15.2 billion dollars, to maintain air superiority in the Middle East over the next two decades. 

The website also noted that the Zionist Ministry of war is preparing to train a new generation of pilots who will be leading the “stealth jet” aircraft in the United States. 

“Tel Aviv” is also being prepared for the purchase of two Dolphin class submarines that could be provided with nuclear weapons to be attached to three other ones in its maritime fleet, and observers expect that (Israel) would set them off the Iranian coast. 

The new systems are considered part of a broader strategy that also includes more advanced armor and personnel carriers equipped with anti-tank guided missiles (an explosively formed penetrator (EFP) technology), being used by Hezbollah in the war in July 2006 very successfully. 

The arsenal also includes the latest weapons of America as those controlled by computers and as the (f -15 and f-16) aircraft fighters and the modern “Apache” helicopter. This comes in addition to the Barak missile defense system; it is an advanced system carried by ship-borne anti-missile-missile point-defense missile system, as well as the “Anti- Air / Anti-Surface” gunnery control system that is a highly effective against anti-ship sea-skimming missiles and aerial threats. 

This is in addition to the weapons that are being developed in the U.S. - Zionist joint military-industrial institutions. 

There is no dispute that (Israel) is a nuclear State, and that the nuclear weapons have been developed in the “Dimona nuclear” reactor, which was created in the sixties of the last century. 

It is believed that the first two bombs produced by (Israel) were ready for use before the 1967 Six-Day aggression. 

It is also believed that the third prime minister of the Zionist entity, “Levi Eshkol” (1895 - 1969) gave the orders to prepare them as the first warning of the (Israeli) nuclear danger during the Six-Day War. It was believed as well that (Israel) ordered the processing of 13 bombs with explosive power equivalent to 20 tons of (TNT) because of its fear of defeat in 1973. 

News reports indicate that the number of nuclear warheads possessed by (Israel) is not known, but estimates suggest that “Tel Aviv” might be having 100 to 200 nuclear warheads, and the successive Zionist governments did not confirm or deny the possession of nuclear warheads. 

(Israel) is adopting the policy of ambiguity regarding its nuclear arsenal. However, “Mordechai Vanunu”, one of the staff of the “Dimona” reactor, stressed that the above expectations are true. 

The (Israeli) military industry boast about the “Merkava” tank as the most insure in terms of saving the life of its crew between different models of World tanks, and the (Israeli) media industry insists that the “Merkava” is the most armored tank in front of the anti-tank ballistics, and the most capable among tanks to maneuver and work in difficult environmental conditions. 

The Zionist military capacities have the ability to intercept ballistic missiles through a network of the “Arrow” missiles that are locally developed, and the “Patriot” systems. 

Moreover, (Israel) works to develop a laser weapon in cooperation with the United States to intercept medium-range missiles. According to Zionist military reports, (Israel) is among the very few countries that has the potentials to deliver a satellite into its orbit space by its “Hamit” type missiles. Those potentials are available to Russia, China, Japan, France and India. 

Militants from the Zionist Ministry of war had revealed during the deliberations of the Zionist Knesset concerning the budget of the Zionist Ministry of war at the beginning of this year data that was kept secret until recently related to the general costs of the occupation army starting from a single bullet and above. 

According to the Hebrew “Yediot Ahronot” newspaper, many details regarding the expenses of the Zionist war machine were revealed during those deliberations, including for example disclosing the costs of an hour flight by a (f-16) plane called “Tsovah”; it costs 105 thousands of shekels (about 50 thousand U.S. dollars). As for the cost of an hour fly in the (f-15) aircraft, it is more than that and it costs 134.800 shekels, and those costs include also the costs of aircraft maintenance. 

It is possible to find in the list of prices the price of a “Tamir” rocket used in the network of the “Iron Dome”, which amounts to 230 thousand shekels, and there is no doubt that the 44 “Tamir” missiles, which dropped 33 Palestinian mortars over the last year and which cost 1.1 million shekels, were well invested. 

The cost of a travel in the “Merkava 1” tank is about 2230 shekels per kilometer, but travelling in the “Merkava 3” tank costs the army about 3660 shekels per kilometer. The cost of travel for miles in the “Merkava 4” tank amounts to 4,300 shekels. 

The cost of a maneuver that involves a group of the “Merkava 5” tank is about 12 million shekels. As well as, the cost of the rehabilitation of armor soldiers is about 90 thousand shekels. 

However, the cost of the infantry is much less than that, since the cost of a maneuver in the Infantry Brigade is about 7.3 million shekels. 

The artillery called by the army of the enemy as the “Queen of Battle” has had well position in the terms of the budget; the cost of a simple artillery shell is about 2145 shekels, while a “Mente” artillery shell costs 6100 shekels, and the lighting shell fired from a cannon costs 7511 shekels. Also, the cost of an artillery band maneuver is around 4.6 million shekels. 
The Zionist occupation army includes air and navy force, and the so-called “defense forces (IDF)”. 

Zionist official reports recall that the successive Israeli governments spent through the years 1955 to 1966 AD nine percent of the output of the national income on the military and armament, adding that the size of the military expenditure increased significantly after the year 1967 and in 1973, because of the wars fought by (Israel) in those years. 
The military spending in 1996 reached to ten percent of the output of the national income, equivalent to 21% of the budget of the “Tel Aviv” government, and this percentage is expected always to rise in line with the developments imposed by the reality of the occupation and its aggressive practices internally and externally.
