Why does the state of Israel—the Middle East’s only nuclear armed nation—require submarines which can carry nuclear warheads and remain submerged for 18 days at a time for self-defense?
According to a report in an Israeli newspaper, the new “Dolphin” class submarines supplied to Israel—and part financed by German taxpayers—will allow the Zionist extremists to create a “floating nuclear weapons cache.”
The Israeli newspaper, quoting the German magazine Der Spiegel, said that Israel’s newly acquired Dolphin-class submarines will have extensive nuclear capabilities.
The German-made U-boats – six of which have been purchased by the Israel Navy – will be equipped with Popeye missiles, which can carry nuclear warheads.
The magazine said that its research into the matter, which spanned sources in the United States, Germany and Israel, “Leaves no room for doubt. This naval technology will enabled Israel to create a floating nuclear weapons cache in the Middle East.”
According to the report, Berlin’s defense officials were aware of the subs nature and future role, but chose to look the other way out of commitment to Israel’s security and the understanding of Jerusalem’s need to keep its security concerns clandestine.
The Israel Navy is already in possession of three Dolphin-class submarines. A fourth is on the verge of becoming operational; a fifth
is under construction and is scheduled to arrive in Israel by 2018; and the contract for the sixth was recently signed between Israel and Germany.
Der Spiegel stressed that German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that the advanced underwater vessels did not have nuclear capabilities; adding that this was the first time in the 20-year-long project that Berlin officials contradicted that premise.
The magazine further noted that the on-board Popeye Turbo SLM missiles were developed by Israel’s own Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.
The new Dolphin-class submarines, which are by the German shipyard HDW in Kiel, are said to be the most advanced of their kind and are able to stay underwater for up to 18 days at a time.
Each Dolphin submarine is capable of carrying a combined total of up to 16 torpedoes and cruise missiles with a range of 1500km. The missiles carry a 200kg nuclear warhead/.
The first two (Dolphin and Leviathan) were fully donated by Germany and the third (Tekumah) was paid for halfway by Israel.
The submarines are normally based in the Mediterranean, which means that almost every European capital is within striking distance of the Zionist extremists, some of whom have recently declared themselves in favor of the “Samson Option” of destroying everybody should Israel be threatened.
