IDF Naval Submarines Checkmate Iran

Three Israeli submarines equipped with nuclear cruise missiles are to be deployed in the Gulf near the Iranian coastline.

The first Submarine has been sent in response to Israeli fears that ballistic missiles developed by Iran, Syria and Hezbollah, a political and military organization in Lebanon, could hit sites in Israel, including air bases and missile launchers.

The submarines — Dolphin, Tekuma and Leviathan — have visited the Gulf before. But the decision has now been taken to ensure a permanent presence of at least one of the vessels.  The flotilla’s commander, identified only as “IDF Navy Captain O”, told an Israeli newspaper: “We are an underwater assault force. We’re operating deep and far, very far, from our borders.”  Each of the IDF's submarines has a crew of 35 to 50 IDF Seamen, commanded by an IDF Naval Captain, and is capable of launching a nuclear cruise missile.  The vessels can remain at sea for about 50 days and stay submerged up to 1,150ft below the surface for at least a week. Some of the cruise missiles are equipped with the most advanced nuclear warheads in the Israeli arsenal.

The deployment is designed to act as a deterrent, gather intelligence and potentially to land Mossad agents. “We’re a solid base for collecting sensitive information, as we can stay for a long time in one place,” said a flotilla officer.

The submarines could be used if Iran continues its program to produce a nuclear bomb. “The 1,500km range of the submarines’ cruise missiles can reach any target in Iran,” said a navy officer.  Apparently responding to the Israeli activity, an Iranian admiral said: “Anyone who wishes to do an evil act in the Persian Gulf will receive a forceful response from us.”

Israel’s urgent need to deter the Iran-Syria-Hezbollah alliance was demonstrated last month. Ehud Barak, the Israeli defense minister, was said to have shown USA President Obama classified satellite images of a convoy of ballistic missiles leaving Syria on the way to Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Israel's Prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu, will emphasize the danger to Obama in Washington this week.

The UK's New Prime Minister on Israel

UK's New Prime Minister David Cameron quotes and the conservative party's stated positions on Israel and the Middle East.

“The unbroken thread of Conservative Party support for Israel that has run for nearly a century from the Balfour Declaration to the present day will continue. Although it will no doubt often be tested in the years ahead, it will remain constant, unbroken, and undiminished by the passage of time.” Speech to the Balfour dinner, 3 November 2008

“If I become Prime Minister, Israel has a friend who will never turn his back on her...I passionately believe in the right of Israel to exist, to defend itself and to live in peace and security.”

"There are some in the West who see some sort of equivalence between Israel and Hamas. I do not. Israel is a democracy – Hamas want to create a theocracy. Israel strives to protect innocent life – Hamas target innocent life. And so there can be no doubt, and let me make clear we won’t judge Hamas just on words. Our test is whether their actions show that they are going to end the terror, recognise Israel and accept all previous peace agreements.

“The actions of Hamas in the current conflict and in the past have demonstrated that it is an organisation that is prepared to use violence in the most ruthless fashion against not only Israelis, whether military or civilian, but the Palestinian people themselves. We have to understand the sort of organisation that it is and the events that took place when it staged its coup d’état in the Gaza strip a couple of years ago. HoC Debate, 15 January 2009

“Any of you who have been to Gaza will recognise that Hamas is not the government of Gaza - it is the foreign policy arm of Tehran. It is being used there as a proxy in case it has to hit back at Israel for any action that Israel may take in light of Iran’s nuclear programme. There are Fajr II missiles being dismantled, taken through the tunnel and being reassembled by Hamas – able to hit Tel Aviv, able to hit Ben Gurion airport and, very openly, many of them will say, if Israel tries to do anything against our nuclear programme, we will use Hamas, we will use these weapons to strike into the heart of Israel itself. CFI Event at the Conservative Party Conference, 6 October 2009

“I will stand firm against anti-Semitism in all its forms and wherever it occurs...These are incredibly worrying times for the Jewish community in Britain… And is our Government doing enough? My answer is no.” CFI Annual Business Lunch, 18 June 2009

“The behaviour of Hamas over Gilad Shalit remains a constant reminder of what they really are a terrorist organisation that refuses to observe the basic human decencies required by international law. No amount of democratic posing can hide it.”Oral Question, 25 June 2009

“Israel shares borders with Syria and with Lebanon, one of the region’s most unstable countries, and Hezbollah’s arsenal of rockets and missiles has grown remorselessly in the last two years. In the Conservative Party we know this. We understand that Hezbollah poses an unacceptable threat to Israel. The British government has not yet banned it in its entirety in the UK. We have urged it to do so.” Speech to the Balfour dinner, 3 November 2008

“It was clear to me that the staff at Kerem Shalom were making determined and very professional efforts to ensure that those goods which are not subject to an embargo are delivered into Gaza, and I was also struck that some material in the same category was allowed out. It’s clear that a good deal of thought and expense had gone into this operation and to describe this as a heavy handed ‘siege’ is clearly not supported by the evidence on the ground.
“The crossing point clearly operates in a very tense situation and evidence of the physical threat it is under were readily apparent, however the operations were carried out in a remarkably calm and sensitive manner considering the circumstances.” CFI Delegation, 11 September 2009

“The situation is awful, and it is not as though the Israelis do not know that it is awful. It is not as though the leaders of Hamas do not know that, either, and I have the appalling impression that Hamas has come to a calculated opinion that the more Palestinians who die, the more extreme Israel appears and the better Hamas’s cause is served. That is why it uses civilians as human shields and schools from which to launch rockets. In 2007, I visited Sderot. I spoke to schoolchildren and went into two of their bomb shelters. I spoke to parents and learned about the daily trauma with which their children grow up.” HoC Debate, Thursday 15 January 2009

“I find the actions of the TUC and other unions on this issue astonishing. Why single out Israel? Why Israel in particular? Why waste valuable conference time on attacking a democratic state given there are so many dictatorships in the world? Why have motions on boycotts when you know that this word in particular has sensitive connotations for the Jewish people?”  CFI Event, 6 October 2009

H-S Precision HTR IDF Sniper Rifle

The IDF has finally began rolling out the new IDF Sniper Rifle. The H-S Precision HTR (Heavy Tactical Rifle) in .338 Lapua Magnum is being introduced to the IDF's snipers as a replacement for the IDF's current issue .50 Barett.

The IDF HTR comes with a 20x Scope, a ten round box magazine, adjustable stock and cheek rest, monopod and bipod.  The IDF HTR sports a camouflage teflon finish.The accessory picitinny rail is favorite feature in the IDF as it allows flexible customization via the addition of lots of accessories.

 

The .338 Lapua Magnum is considered an ideal military long-range anti-personnel cartridge. It fills the gap between weapons chambered for standard military rounds such as the 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Winchester) and large, weighty rifles firing the .50 BMG cartridge. It also offers a tolerable amount of barrel wear, which is important to military snipers who tend to fire thousands of rounds in practice every year to acquire and maintain expert long-range marksmanship.

The .338 Lapua is a dual-purpose anti-personnel and anti-material round; however, its anti-materiel potential is limited, due to the bullet's lower kinetic energy compared with that of the .50 BMG's 35.64 to 55.08 gram (550 to 850 grain) projectiles. The loaded cartridge is 14.93 mm (0.5878 in) in diameter (rim) and 93.5 mm long. 338 Lapua can penetrate better-than-standard military body armour at ranges up to 1,000 metres (1,094 yd) and has a maximum effective range of about 1,750 metres (1,910 yd). Muzzle velocity is dependent on load and powder temperature and varies from 880 to 915 m/s (2,900 to 3,000 ft/s) for commercial loads with 16.2 gram (250 grain) bullets, which results in about 6525 joules (4813 ft·lbf) of muzzle energy.

All of the IDF Snipers that I've talked to about the new IDF HTR Sniper rifle are impressed with it's design and love the way it shoots!

I'll get some more pictures from the field and follow up on this post soon.

Camero’s Xaver Through Wall Vision System

Camero’s Xaver™ system reveals the location of people in any room without having to venture into it. Its products are already deployed worldwide and have already helped in hijacking rescues.


Through-Wall Vision: The Israeli company Camero has developed a piece of equipment that will greatly help military and law enforcement throughout the world. The device enables you to know where people are located in a room in real time before having to enter it. The Xavier 400 is about the size of a laptop computer weighing under 3kg including the battery. It also has an optimized design for tactical operations which makes it easy to carry around by operatives in the field.
Xaver™400 Video Presentation

The identification system is based on a unique, multichannel, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) sensor that operates at very high bandwidth that enables reliable detection and object resolution. The Xavier 400 system is able to locate images through walls using electromagnetic pulses and is able to provide quick location and number of people hidden by walls and barriers.

“This technology saves lives,” explained David Gazelle, Vice President of R&D.
The system is already an operational success and is being deployed worldwide. Six months ago a girl was kidnapped in a foreign country by kidnappers who demanded ransom for her release in the amount of two million shekels. The SWAT equivalent local unit utilized Xaver 400 to see where the abductors were located. The picture on the device revealed four kidnappers and the girl who was kept hostage. While three kidnappers were in another room of the house, one of them was keeping guard on the girl in the same room. When he left the room to go to the bathroom the police broke in and saved the girl.

Urban combat places new demands on the successful completion of military objectives. Whether apprehending suspects, undertaking building clearance, rescuing hostages or identifying potential ambushes, the military operatives must enter potentially hostile situations without the knowledge of what is ‘beyond the wall’.

Camero offers a comprehensive man-portable solution for ‘Through-Wall Vision’. Camero’s Xaver™ systems enable you to know in real-time whether there are people present, how many are present and where they are situated. In addition, the system offers a first of its kind capability to map the shape of the room behind the wall.

These unique capabilities greatly improve the planning of your operation. In addition, once the operation is underway, real-time images also support the operations execution. Thus the Xaver™ offers unique intelligence to reduce the risk to the lives of your operatives and to support the successful achievement of mission objectives, enabling you to ‘Step into the known’.

Leading military and law enforcement customers from a number of countries have already purchased Camero's Xaver™ systems.  Camero's website is http://www.camero-tech.com/
