There has been talk over the past 2 years of greater naval procurement due to the new energy fields in the Med, Turkish aggression, Egyptian question mark, and the Iranian threat.
Israel has increased UCAV, Naval UAV's, purchase of 6th dolphin.
Israel is looking for a frigate eyeing a local shipbuilding project, or purchasing the MEKO CSL...does anyone know what's going on with this procurement project?
Israel needs these boats pronto and yet we have heard nothing of this acquisition in the past 6 months.
Also, why has Israel not looked at the new Singapore frigates or doing a joint-project with s.korean ship builders instead of relying on German frigates?
Also why does Israel not look into amphibious force projection given turkey and Iranian threats?
