SECURITY and DEFENSE: The navy’s missile ships have changed goals, reorganized, and now prepare for war on all fronts.

Operations carried out by the Israel Navy in what is dubbed the “war between wars” have been kept in the shadows, until recently.

But a series of leaks to the media, and reports on Iranian attacks against Israeli-owned civilian cargo ships, revealed the intensity of the ongoing shadow war between Jerusalem and Tehran in the areas of the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, as well as the role of the Israeli Navy in that war.

The Navy is comprised of three main active units: the 3rd Flotilla (Shayetet 3), the missile ship unit; the 7th Flotilla (Shayetet 7), the submarine unit; and the 13th Flotilla (Shayetet 13), the Navy commando unit.

While the last two enjoy the fame of prestigious, secret elite units that carry out missions beyond enemy lines, the 3rd Flotilla is an integral part of the Navy’s activities during routine times, during emergencies, and also during war.

We are working in synergy,” Cmdr. Guy Barak, OC deputy commander of the 3rd Flotilla, told the Jerusalem Post in an interview on the deck of INS Romah. “Each unit holds abilities and capabilities that the other one lacks. What allows the Navy to be successful in its missions is the connectivity between the units.

“Each flotilla knows how to bring its advantages to the battlefield, and to compensate the disadvantage of the others. Shayetet 13 knows how to secretly operate in the sea and onshore; Shayetet 7 knows how to operate very close to enemy shores, what our flotilla won’t do; and Shayetet 3 knows how to gain control over a large sea area, and to deal with a variety of threats. Each unit is essential – the submarines with their fabulous intelligence-collecting ability, the commando with their covert activities in enemy territory, and us, with our ability to dominate the sea.”

The 3rd Flotilla is based on six fighting troops that use the different kinds of battleships: the Sa’ar 4.5, Sa’ar 5, and the new Sa’ar 6. All ships, including the older ones that are constantly updated and re-outfitted, use cutting-edge technologies in all naval fields.

The ships are equipped with missile defense systems, sea-to-sea, sea-to-air, and sea-to-surface missiles, cannons, light weapons, and advanced intelligence and electronic warfare capabilities. Some have unique capabilities, such as submarine exposure and attack weapons.
“I’ve worked with other navies around the world,” Barak said. “Our small ships are considered to be the densest ones, but they have the same capabilities, if not more, of the big ones that are used by foreign navies.”

Among the tasks of the flotilla are maintaining maritime superiority, protecting Israel’s economic sea, defending essential infrastructures such as the gas and oil platforms, and keeping the country’s trade routes open.

IN RECENT YEARS, the Navy has been undergoing major changes. It started by redefining its goals, which led to a change in its formation and in the way it operates, prepares for war, and works with the rest of the army.
Barak said that the attack on the INS Hanit in the Second Lebanon War was a turning point in the way the Navy sees modern warfare.

“The rocket that hit the ship was launched from the coast, not from another corvette,” he said. “We understood that gaining maritime superiority also includes eliminating threats onshore. We made maritime superiority the core issue. That affected the formation of the navy and the way we apply force.”

As part of the change, he said, “we developed new systems and combat doctrines that help us apply our new perception. We also created new operational plans that combine our new perception with the new technologies and weapons, and they are being exercised.”
Another aspect added to the equation is the multi-domain abilities and the connectivity that the entire army is undergoing, as part of the Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi’s “Tnufa” multi-year plan.
The plan aims to strengthen the ability of different units of different branches to be interoperable, to use their different capabilities in day-to-day activities and in times of war.

The Jews are the worst war- mongers on earth. A Jewish child is trained to regard non-jews as inferior to jews.Today Christians and muslims are second-class people in Isreal. To jews your life is worthless if you are not a jew and you can be wasted.
Israelis are still basking in the myth that Israel is undefeatable. But Hezbollah's definition of victory is narrow: to inflict strategic damage on the enemy is all they need to declare victory. Just a few days ago a missile fired from Syria landed near a nuclear site in Isreal. While Isreal has built a strong military over the years, they should know that their enemies aren't sleeping either.

The Israelis should think twice. Hezbollah of the 90's is not the same Hezbollah of 2021...

Animals are even better at living together than humans. Imagine kidnapping innocent students in their school and end up killing them for no reason. The greatest undoing of man is the ambition to bring one another down to be greater than each other !!!

GOOD MORNING MY NEIGHBORS

HOW'RE YOU DOING?

ARE YOU FEELING GOOD?

Wish the attack was coming on aso rock

Jews and muslimi are padi.

so na family fight

Wahala no dey finish, walaihi

longetivity:
Christian and Muslim nation' wants to fight

Because the Muslims want to kill everybody and dominate their lands.

So, there's still Hezebolah? This is a proof terrorists don't repent and my stand on pantami's removal. I still can't believe we can ever have such people holding such a sensitive office in Nigeria
...You can imagine your BVN, NIN and GSM numbers being in the palms of someone who plays allegiance to ISIS, Alquaeda and Boko Haram. If the elites in the society including governors, ministers heads of departments and agencies, directors of organisations, envoys or ambassadors should overlook pantami's case, I'm sorry for them. Another muslim with no evil antecedents can replace him from his state. Pantami isn't the best person from that region .

Security and YOU

Buhari won't like this at all

Righteousness2:
Wars and Rumors of wars Just as the Bible says
As we Speak the Nations are Preparing not just for war but a Nuclear war!

IRan is enriching its Nuclear capabilities to fight Isreal.
Russia and the USA are at logger head. Both sides Prepared for a Nuclear war!

This Ship is Sinking!
The Coming of JESUS Christ,the KING of kings is soooooooo close.

We are at the Threshold of something Huge.

The only way to be Prepared is to be in a Genuie relationship with JESUS Christ

For thousands of years there have been wars and rumors of war. What's your point again?

Hmmm...war war everywhere

Terrorist groups deseeves no consideration.

Zero chill for terrorists. Bomb them to smithereens.

Whether we like it or not, the third world war will be between and her allies(Ethiopia, Egypt, Libya, Iran, Russia) and Isreal and and her allies will be defeated.

abeg if una finish with them, make Dem come pack their ers for nigeria to go assist them..
