Israel receives fifth German nuclear-capable submarine
2016-01-13
[Iran Press TV] The Israeli regime has received of a fifth submarine from Germany, amid pressure on Berlin to halt the delivery of the state-of-the-art weaponry that is capable of being armed with nuclear warheads.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday welcomed the delivery of the advanced Dolphin-class submarine at the Haifa port north of the occupied Paleostinian territories. The submarine, said to be capable of remaining submerged for up to seven days, can be equipped with missiles armed with nuclear warheads.

The Tel Aviv regime pursues a 'policy of ambiguity' over its nuclear arsenal, which is widely believed to contain up to 400 nukes.
Whereas Iran as yet does not have one.
The new submarine has cost Israel about 500 million euros (USD 540 million), with the German government paying one third of the cost. Berlin is also to deliver a sixth submarine in two or three years.

Many of the usual wankers have criticized Germany for the sales of the modern military equipment to Israel.

The administration of German Chancellor Angela Markel claims Germany has an obligation to guarantee the security of Israel.

German media say the delivery of the four previous Dolphin-class submarines have cost German taxpayers over 1 billion euros (USD 1.12 billion).

#6  Is this dolphin equipped with an air independent propulsion system? Maybe that is all the fuel that the fuel cell has. Seems like a strange limitation.

#4  The submarine, said to be capable of remaining submerged for up to seven days,...

For some reason, I always imagined that many/most submarines could stay submerged longer than that.

#3  Bet there's a large overlap between these groups.

In the Venn diagram it looks like one giant circle...

#2  Many have criticized Germany for the sales of the modern military equipment to Israel.


And many have criticized the existence of Israel, not to mention Jews in general. Bet there's a large overlap between these groups.
