Israel Defense Forces (Read First Post!)

[Tikvah]

yes, even palhan and orev go behind enemy lines no?

We do everything that the PALSAR do. The ONLY difference, and I repeat, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE, is our specialty courses, and that the PALSAR learn hostage rescue while we just learn to kill people.

damn the IDF is pretty hardcore

If you're saying something along the lines of "the PALSAR are better then the CHAN and Orev," then go to hell and burn you dirty bastard.

I was referring to the fact that the Palsars mission during war time is to be ahead of the brigade in order to provide it with recon, while the Orev and Palhan units missions during war is to operate along side their brigades.

anyway, pictures of Duvdevan from various times:

I don't know much about the navy but apparently these are some kind of boats used by Shayetet 13 (navy commandos).

The pictures are from the official IDF site.

Could the IN order something similar to this in the near future?


Could Israel possibly need such a vessel?
Would IN need a minimum force projection capability?

I guess they could use one or two BPC as "base at sea" even off the shore of Israel, and send helicopters to prevent smuggling.
But I agree they already do that with smaller boats too and/or with land based helicopters...
Maybe a version capable of launching JSF (like Australia is planning to get) would then be more interesting to Israel?

In case of conflict with Iran (or whoever in this region) would such a vessel (or any other Israel Navy Ship) be allowed access to the red sea then Persian gulf?
(Is IN allowed to use the Suez canal?)
Or would Israel be better off sending IAF jets from Israel (less complications, less logistics involved, no need to ask to go through Suez etc)?

Sorry for all these questions, but I am interested by this topics, especially the suez part...

No. But all the instructors in the Armour School are female.
