Ya'alon: 'Israel is a Military Superpower' - Defense/Security - News - Israel National News

Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon participated in the openingceremony of the International Air Show in Singapore Tuesday, where Israeli Aerospace Industries (IAI) presented a number of new military aircraft on the cutting edge of defense technology.

"From the technology displayed here at the booths of the Defense Ministry, I can say that Israel is a superpower," Ya'alon stated during the ceremony. "The fact that Israel is represented here in this way, in a place so far from home, shows me that Israel is a superpower - in this respect, at least."

"Israel is a reluctant superpower because it seems that threats and danger provide a better incentive to develop new military innovations in a wide variety of fields," he continued. "We face the threats of a changing Middle East, and despite being smaller [than our neighbors] in every way, our ability to respond is based mainly on or minds and hearts, on our knowledge and spirit. This knowledge, this spirit drives the soldiers who fight, [and] drive the navy and the air force."

"Not any less important are our engineers, scientists and technicians in various industries, who actualize our military capabilities for our soldiers," he added.

"The world is undergoing quite a few changes that directly affect the defense ministry, not to mention economic and social changes," Ya'alon noted. "Our relatively stable security situation rests largely on our ability to respond to our more intimidating ordeals, and the partnership between those at the front and those on the laboratory bench, between the designer and the commander [. . .] is the guarantee to our security. "

Ma'ariv lists the aircraft unveiled at the Air Show, including the "Super-Heron" unmanned drone (UAV), which has a 200 horsepower diesel engine and an advanced propulsion system. The drone can reach velocities covering tens of meters per second, according to the daily.

He's right though, they really have become a superpower. All that's left is to make their nuclear weapons program public.

They have high quality weapons around all sectors and modernize their weapons with new equipment very often.

US congress funding allows them to resupply what they need at any moment too.

Does Israeli Navy has any future plans for procuring or building its own Aircraft Carrier???

For what are they going to use it for?

To small territory to be a superpower.
Israel cannot attack another country alone,you cant stop all of the incoming missiles(real missiles).
Maybe an attack superpower,but never in defence.

Isn't this what Israel did in 1967 & achieved one of the biggest military victories in 20th century??

But why do they need it when their Air Force can reach out their targets?

I believe he's referring to an Iranian-Israeli situation sir.

There is some truth in your take and his. But take Iraq for example, Israel did pressure the US to attack Iraq instead of themselves.

Times have changed, their threats have grown in Power. You need land to sustain attacks, which they have very little of. Military might is one thing, the ability to sustain heavy bombardment of missiles and shit is another.

No doubt Isreal is a military might, a super power? Not yet.

I agree there was pressure from Israeli Lobby but what about the Operation Opera?? They went all alone when they wanted to.........

Power Projection plus more than 50 countries in the world many of them far away from israels border considers it an enemy state.

I think Regional Powerhouse would be an apt term here.

First,we are talking about here now with all of the missile technology(2000km)which should be enough.
Israel had help from ''all'' of the western countries,some in military hardware and some in manpower(pilots).
The Arab countries had bad equipment and were disorganized.

They rely on military funding from the US they cannot afford to build and maintain one, besides they have a very small coastline lol.
