Soviets had strong industry but Germany stronger. In 1944 Germans produced more weapons than USSR, despite Germany suffered from daily carpet bombings while USSR got a massive aid.

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) received its first test F-35I aircraft, custom-built for Israel, which gives the IAF an opportunity to install its own electronic warfare, communications and weapons systems. The test aircraft, designated as F-35I, arrived at the IAF Flight Testing Center (FTC) at...

It was not problem of the officers who commanded armies and divisions but problem of planners and Hitler. German's industry was much stronger but they fought on two fronts (they produced over 1000 subs for battle in Atlantic) and they mobilized only in 1943.

The reason for German defeat was HUGE underestimation of Soviet force. According to Barbarossa plan USSR would use 107 divisions in first line, 77 divisions in second line and 25 divisions in third line. I.e. 209 divisions total. In reality USSR had 186 divisions in first line, 51 divisions...

Currently Israel has only one ship equipped with MF STAR radar and Barak 8 missiles. Thats Saar 5 class INS Lahav: With the arrival of 4 Saar 6 class ships we will have 5 Barak-8 ships total.

I guess it does not need permission. We dont export them or something.

Actually I dont think Israel needs F-22 at all. It is very expensive: like two F-35s. The additional fighter model with require large infrastructure investments. F-22 and F-35 cant communicate with each other well. In terms of air to ground F-35 is better than F-22, in terms air to air F-35 is...

No chance. Lavi with the arrival of 5th gen is outdated and reviving YF-23 is too costly.

No need to overestimate either. For example once Israel signed contract to sell airborne radars to China. US banned this sale and Israel was forced to pay 1 billion $ compensation. US refused to sell some weapon systems to Israel, for example Tomahawk missiles, during Obama rule US even refused...

F-22 is not serious. Production line is closed long time ago.

Not anymore. In the past we had M163 VADS and M48 Chaparrals. In mid of 1990-es M163 were upgraded with Stinger missiles. This thing was called Mahbet: But later all phased out. Currently all Israel's air defenses are static: 1) Iron Dome. 2) David's Sling. 3) Patriot. 4) Arrow 2/3.

1. Centurion tank based vehicles Nagmashot (1984) Heavy armor personnel carrier converted from Centurion tank. Since it lacked rear hatch it did not suit the infantry well and was transferred to engineer units. Armor protection was also not sufficient. Nagmahon (1987) Modified Nagmashot...

We should remember that in previous wars tanks were destroyed in enormous numbers, but no one said then that age tanks is over. In 1945 Soviet army lost 107 tanks a day - more than in all previous years - more than in disastrous 1941 and 1942. Also we see now artillery and Grad MRL destroyed in...

Tanks are perfect support and sentinel devices. They have long range high quality observing devices. Main gun can take out sniper nests and fortifications with extreme precision from around 4 km. Tank's coaxial gun has precision of sniper rifle. Tank carries 40+ main gun rounds and 10,000 7.62...

US SSN: Nautilus (55) - 1 unit. First nuclear submarine in the world. Its design was very similar to diesel electric submarines of its time but larger in size. Two shafts, noisy. In 1956 entered in service Seawolf submarine, similar to Nautilus but with liquid metal cooled reactor. It proved to...
