Today Israel is considered as one of the most high tech super
powers that exports the top weapons to almost all the countries.
But it required the country to go through a lot of
struggle period to come to this position today.
Israel Defence forces, also known as the Hebrew
in Israel, is the military forces of the
state that has its origin long back in 1904, to the Jewish paramilitary organizations.
The military forces of the country consist of air force, ground force and navy.
The country was founded in 1948 and this is when the Defence Minister
David Ben Gurion issued an order to form the Israel Defence Force.
So, the force was officially formed on 26th May, 1948.
The military power of Israel was not strong enough and eventually
with time they become stronger to call themselves as the strongest.
The story of Israel and how they became the
military power is discussed here in details.
It was in 1950 when the country first set off their delegation for South America.
They were extremely desperate for this delegation even though
they had no such natural resources like oil or minerals.
But their inspiration could not stop them from doing what they desired.
Israel then started selling fake teeth; kerosene
stove top and oranges to other countries.
They had a true struggle time during then.
Anyways, they finally did it and after 35 years in 1985,
they finally became the largest drone exporter of the world.
They struggled a lot to reach this position but what actually
helped them in securing this position are explained below.
The first reason that contributed to their super power
is the investment towards research and development team.
The country ensures to spend around 4.5 % of the GDP for the R&D team.
And 30% of that amount goes to the military product.
This amount is really high while other countries spend
a very less amount for the military product and R&D.
The second thing that helps the country to witness such
growth is their excellent innovative and creative nature.
All the Israelis get the military training service definitely.
So, while young people of other countries get busy in their collage and other
tasks, the Israeli get their compulsory military training during then.
And finally it is their sharp and strong mind
which helps them to reach this peak position.
The Israelis had to fight for existence almost every decade
and this has made them really strong enough in the future.
Here is a list of the powerful weapons and military
products of Israel that made them the true Military power:
Merkava
Merkava tank was used by the Israelis first during 1948 and
then it was added to the Israeli Defence force during 1979.
The IDF had several foreign tanks but all of them were replaced by Merkava in 1979 as
it allowed the people to focus on optimizing the design that fits the environment.
However, several modification is been done on the Merkava with time that
enhanced its capabilities to combat the low intensity and urban fight.
F15I Thunder
This is another strong versatile and effective weapon of Israel that has
the capability of playing a key role in any strike of Israel against Iran.
It has several core capabilities that are proved
useful as one of the best air-to-air combat platform.
This weapon too joined the Israel Defence force in 1970 and eventually Israelis
have transformed it into one of the most striking platform working really hard.
Jericho III
Jericho III is one such ballistic missile in Israel that can ensure that any kind
of nuclear attack against Israel by any country and the result will be horrible.
The attacking country will meet the devastating retaliation definitely.
This ballistic missile is not just capable of
striking targets in the Middle East rather all other
countries including Europe, North America and
Asia too will be treated equally by the Israelis.
Dolphin
This is a diesel electric submarine which can handle all kind of mission by the IDF.
This Dolphin can handle all kind of tasks
seamlessly starting from sinking, interdicting
the enemy ship, delivering Special Forces to the unfriendly coastline and more.
So, even though Israelis have made a huge investment for this
Dolphin, this is really a very potential weapon to them.
Israeli Soldier
Finally all the weapons that are handled by those, the soldiers are very competent.
All the soldiers, sailors and army force are very
competent who are recruited following a very strict rule.
The soldiers are trained extremely well so that
they can show their potential at the fullest.
Drones
Drones are another strong weapon of Israel and they are the
biggest supplier of drones as of now to all the countries.
The first use of Drone by Israeli’s was witnessed during 1979 and they
employed the first combat drone in 1982 which is called as Scout.
This was the beginning and since then they have become a super supplier of drones.
In 2010, five NATO countries have filed Israeli drones in Afghanistan.
Heron TP is the largest unmanned drone of Israel that is able to carry
almost 1 ton payload and can stay in the airborne for 24 hours.
Robotic Border patrols
Israel is the owner of robotic weapon as well which is a unmanned
ground vehicle that is meant to keep the soldiers at the safe side.
Guardium is one such robotic border patrol of
Israel which is a Tomcar dune buggy type vehicle.
It integrates a camera, sensor and weapons.
The robot is handled by a soldier who sits miles away in
the command centre making the robot completely autonomous.
Also Israel has many more weapons such as Mini Spy satellite, Top secret tank etc
which altogether made it highly powerful to combat with any country in any situation.
Israelis have applied all the special tactics,
technologies and their innovative and creativeness
in making the powerful weapons with time that helped them become a super power today.
