Well, well..think over again, what a cheap shot to scare Iran and the resistance in Lebanon.you fail to mention Iran development in much shorter time span, and our break into nanotechnology.you r dead scared, and you and everybody knows that.

weapon systems are manned by men idf war criminals are a joke ; clowns dressed up in tanks subs idf war criminals are clowns who get medals for shooting children

What os open-minded about that Muslim?

But did Alexander say that the country that pocesses these weapons must not be afraid to use them and that country's leaders must not pull defeat from the jaws of victory ? Israel problems were never weapons, but weak and corrupt civilian leaders.

Who cares about these new weapons. Hamas will hide behind civilians and the IDF will be told ,by it's civilian leaders, not to fire upon them for fear of upsetting world leaders who hate Israel no matter what Israel does.

But is Israel strong enough to withstand the constant pressure of US to give more and more away to a Palestinian Arab Sttate and most of all is Israel strong enough to withsand a nucleur Iran?

-ISRAEL !!! - STRIKE FIRST - !!!.- TIME HAS COME- !!! - TIME IS NOW - !!!. Arn.

It is youPeter, who displays arrogance. I take it that you are confident that that Iranian missiles will not reach Vienna-Austria. Israel has already saved the west a lot of troubles by destroying the Iraqi and Syrian neuclear facilitie.Llets pray they succeed to do same for us with Iranian reactors. I assure you you will be able to sleep easier in your bed. Now you have all the reasons to be as jumpy as Israel if not more!

To all those in the I hate Israel and want it destroyed bloggers who waste our time here, listen closely: Make me P.M. of Israel, and it wont need stealth fighters or shield protected tanks. Read wikipedia my friends for futher insight. Israel has: 200 to 400 high fusion nujkes..on several platforms including: Jerichos, subs, artillery,land mines, Fseries planes, and 400 F4E Phantoms. Besides, it also has cobalt, neutron and WMD type shells and bombs ( afflotoxins, small pox, Sarin, ricine). It has 5,000 state of the art bombs ( smart, bunker busters, daisy cutters, advanced clusters and phosphorous). Its army includes 700,000 reservists, many with battle experience. Millions of Jews/Christians will come to Israels aid on the home front if needed. But for starters..refer all suspicious activities to the FBi, IRS, Justice Dept, ATF, local sherifs and police., most especially Saudi financing and propaganda in local mosques. Denounce J st as must kapos..and Americans for Peace Now..(war later) as naive, silly, plainly gullible, leftist Jews. Next election..get rid of Saddam Hussin Obama OR suggest he learn to play defense and I dont mean basketball.

To David: millions of Jews and Christians are getting awfully tired of the threats by Islamic fascists. Now we learn that Al Qaeda has a definite plan to wipe US, Israel, Western countries, and anyone not supporting Sharia out. While back in the US, Jewish lefitsts group apologize for the "settlements" and provoke boycotts of Israeli made goods. To everyone, buy Israel, buy Israel, buy Israel..dont buy Arab-Muslim oil Buy Canadian, Mexican Texas..get it. Lets boycott the thug nations. Re: Israeli arms: Jerichos can travel 11,000 miles...in orbit or over, carrying megaton nuke warheads. Neutron/Cobalt bombs will send Tehran/.Ankara, *Istanbul) a very strong message. Turkey has threatened to kill we Jews in the Strip/Lebanon...okay, lets start by boycotting their rugs..and move on. We can support the Armenians in Congress and Kurds. Tell Turkey to gobble gobble.

To Terry: I find it most fascinating that few here criticize the awesome power of the US, China, Russia, England, France, Japan, Iran, Turkey, India and Pakistan. The US sells Arabia 84F15Is..and upgrades another 150, etc. Egypt has over 200 F16s. China has 500 nukes..France/England have hundreds of nukes..as do India/Pakistan. The US has 2.4m in its army and 20,000 nukes..thousands of planes, including F22s andB1s. We have bombs which can take out Moscow, Tehran, Istanbul, Cario, Damascus, Beirut..with one flash..we have 500,000 marines..and 38 carrier groups.We have trident subs..and thousands of long rangemissiles. But little Israel is slammed for having a good deterence. Yes, the hate Jew crowd wants us all to walk like sheep into gas chambers..to lineup at pits..and dont think the Arabs would not hesitate if they could. (Iran said, it can destroy Israel in one day..thats lots of children guys).

What kind of crap is this guy selling. Israel will have 5 Diesel Electric Subs that can sail for 30 days aprox and carry tactical nukes with a 1000 km range. That does not get Israel in the same league as France or The UK or China with real strategic nuclear subs armed with multiple head STRATEGIC missiles with a 10000 Km plus range and 1 year autonomy. As for the F35, it is now clearly inferior to the new Sukhoi PAK 50 soon to be operative in Russia. The Merkava defense system has yet to be proven in real battle.What are you smoking?

The last time I checked, less than 10 nations on earth, possibly 8, possess satellites. Israel is one of them. And Israel belongs to a unique club of 9 nations possessing nuclear weapons. There are 203 nations on earth. It means there are 194 nations that have no nukes. Those nations include Germany and most of the EU countries and most of the EU population, the African continent, most of Asia including Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, Australasia, South America and most of North America. And here comes the best part: we will never give up our nukes! And we will never let our enemies have nukes! Haha! I bet you anti-Semites liked that didn't you? Yes, we are just reversing the things of the past - turning you into earth's nr 1 punchbag - the eternal anti-Semite that deserves to be hunted down where ever he/she is. If you tempt your fates it is quite possible that you will disappear in a big mushroom cloud - and I don't mean those you pick in the forest - I mean those that are much more potent.

Any quote from a Greek or Roman source is ultimately suspect unless the person using the "quote" can at least cite EXACTLY where the quote can be found and, preferably, cite it in the original language, as well.

>>> Israel can vaporize her enemies in a nanosecond. Ask yourself, though, if that is really, truly what you want. Halvai - wish it were true. I'll see by myself as I'll be ion the battlefield(s)

Why dont u all calm down..sit back and observe the next show down between hizbullah and israel.. to wach nasrallah nad his men storming israels strong holds... wahts waiting for is somthing much bigger than 2006.. then we will all remember this and other israeli articls and laught.

The one and only God - the God of Israel - is very angry at Israels enemies ! The day is approaching fast, when Israels enemies will be defeated like never before ! No mercy for the jew - haters ! Through Gods help, Israel will live for ever and ever - but its enemies will all be gone !

Obviously - But still you got your ass whipped by bunch of sheep herders in 2006 ??? ,...

Israel operates F16 & F15. Egypt, Jordan, United Arab Emirates they all operate the F16 & the version the UAE has is the most advanced version on the market. Saudi Arabia has about 3 times as many F15s as israel and they are buying more. They also operate the Typhoon which is one of the best multi role fighters in the world & superior to the F16. It's also only a matter of time before the arabs start buying the F35. The main reason Barak has been so eager to get the F35 is because he wants Israel to be the first country in the region to operate it. We will be the first but we won't be the only. Israel operates the Merkava. Egypt builds the Abrams under licence and Jordan operates the Challenger 2. Both of which are modern tanks & can go head - head with the Merkava The Egyptian navy is bigger than Israel's and they are spending more on buying modern American hardware for its boats. Except for Iran Israel is currently the only country in the region with submarines although Egypt is looking to buy some of same class of sub as the Dolphin from Germany. Israel also took delivery of the other two Dolphins in 2009 not next year. They are currently being fitted out with Israeli systems and undergoing trials with the navy and the navy wants a sixth if they can get the funding. Egypt, Syria and other countries in the region have ballistic missiles which can hit Israel. Hizbollah has also added Iranian giudience systems to their own missiles and they have around 300 of these things which can reach all of Israel. A guided missile is a poor mans fighter jet. Since Clinton the US has been slowly eroding Israel's strategic edge by selling exactly the same hardware Israel operates to the arabs. The arab states which do not receive military aid in some cases have purchased European weapons which are superior to the US version. The Obama regime has also been blocking weapons sales to Israel and at the same time selling to the arabs. Israel wanted Apaches Obama blocked the sale on the grounds they were a threat to the palestinians. The current US administration is leading a global campaign against nukes and while not openly saying Israel thats the target. The nukes are the only hold Israel has on the US. The only reason the US has had influence in US arms sales to the arabs & been allowed to customise things like jets is because the US wanted israel to maintain balance of power with conventional weapons to avoid nuclear war. No nukes means no more influence. The IDF is still a force to be reckoned with and does in most cases have superior weaponry to individual enemies but its certainly not as simple as this article makes it seem.

You must be deluded into thinking that Israel is up against Hezbollah and Hamas. Iran continually threatens to annihilate it. I suppose Israel could capitulate like Austria did and let the jack boots come marching in. You lost sunshine and the jack boots turned into fluffy slippers....

..information specifically on these military data you recounted? I want to learn more about this subject.

If the militant muslims read the Bible only once...they would tremble. It is not Israel you fight against...it is God. You are told to respect the Bible and it's authors...but do not even know what it says. Those who wish He who is the Rock of Israel to fall on them...will be sorry. You have been lied to by your jealous hateful leaders. God never dissagrees with Himself. If He spoke to Abraham and Moses...read what they say.

Really? How many missiles have been fired into Israel from Lebanon since 2006? And when the odd terrorist offshoot does fire one, Hizbollah falls all over itself soiling its pants and screaming "It wasn't us! It wasn't us!" Israel is a nuclear power, oh stupid one. If Israel were to want to vaporize Lebanon, it can. Real fast. Surely even someone as intellectually challenged as you can realize that. Can't you?

Farzad does your government know you are reading Israeli newspapers?I think its the death penalty for you kaffirs.
