Qatar is buying 7 navy vessels from Italy for $5.91 billion

[EpiiC]

they dont have inuagh manpower for them

Few hundred people is enough dude..... Even Israel won't have better ships than these..

The US doesn't want to encourage an Arms Race (Arab-Iran) or the superiority of Israel.

Qatar and Iran have decent relations.... This is specially about Qatar and not other Arab countries, they could have got Rafale or Eurofighters which are better than F-15....

It is surprising that Israel doesn't have AEGIS BMD SM-3, or destroyer ships.... maybe because in previous wars have a superior air force was enough to win wars?

EDIT: (I'm sure I exaggerated the price though.)

*sigh* Is that even possible nowadays?

* ... thinks of the cost for a production of the Lightning II
running as for a Mustang, Thunderbolt or Liberator ( not
to go full Russian ) and goes OMG! like a teenage girl ... *

Have a good evening, Tay.

dont know why

 

[Taygibay]

dont know why

Because you don't need it! Israel grows on land, yes,
at the detriment of Palestine but it is not imperialistic.
To protect from the Med with its high concentration of
1st class vessels, a few missile batteries are enough.

Good day to you, Tay.
