Subject: Israelian Navy and X MAS
luigi.delta    7/13/2008 3:21:59 AM
Digging out facts about the Italian Naval Special Forces, I have found a couple of solid sources which indicate that the Israelian naval commando force was created and trained by a former X MAS specialist, petty officer Fiorenzo Capriotti. By digging even more I found a book by Capriotti whose title is "A fascist to the Gerusalem Court", which confirmed the whole story.
I would like to know if any Israelian on this forum can help me find any confirmation of this story by any Israelian source. I would be very grateful for any help.

The pdf mentioned by ?Shirrush? and compiled by the undersigned  Is based on firsthand accounts by people involved and the following sources:

The last two sources contain additional information regarding the purchase and (good) use the young Israeli navy made of the MTM boats.

?Poorly written? or not, I have yet to see a more accurate report in Hebrew. In the interim period would love to update the pdf with any additional information you may come across in your research

Regards and best of luck with your book

Actual enemies: none.

Having a strong naval component with land-attack capabilities and shore-battery immunity would, however, constitute a deterrent against Syria, which has much of its economy (e.g. refineries) concentrated on its coastal strip, and which depends on its sea-ports for much of its sustenance.


 

Potential enemies:




And, of course, the hereditary one, Greece.


The depths of your ignorance and stupidity are astounding
