You build stuff no one buys, we build stuff we can sell and profit, and buy what we need, fit to our purpose.and I dont see İsraeli Corvette , Frigate , Destroyer , FAC , OPV , LHD , LST , Super Tanker , Submarines , Attack Helicopter , Utility Helicopter , Trainer and Fighter Jets , turbodiesel , turbojet , turboshaft and turbofan Engines and many more
We don't need to build frigates and destroyers, those are big, bulky and have no advantage over Israeli Saar 6 and Saar 5 corvettes in naval combat, even the huge 11,000 tons Moskva missile cruiser, protected by S-300F and OSA missiles was easily sunk by two anti ship missiles. In the end what's important is :
electronic warfare (Which even the British, renowned for their navy, are using: https://elbitsystems.com/pr-new/elb...ronic-warfare-capabilities-to-the-royal-navy/)
Radar (MF-STAR)
missile interceptors (Barak 8 which shot down 2 Iskander missiles in Azerbaijan and Iron Dome with the most interceptions and highest interception rate ever)
And anti ship missiles (Gabriel V, Blue Spear, used by Israel, Singapore, Finland, Estonia with 400+ km range) all of which Israel is superior at.
We can build Corvettes, Saar 72 and Saar 62 for example. But they're only for export. But we can buy German corvettes and submarines in a massive discount, making it not worth for us to build them for IDF use.
About engines, we design them and sell the licenses for them, this is usually the business model of many Israeli companies (selling software, designs, patents or the company itself, as we call it an "exit", as opposed to manufacturing) as Israel is already small with very low unemployment rate.
Here is one example:
Aquarius Engines says it developed new Hydrogen engine model
The company's findings were confirmed in third-party tests conducted by Austrian engineering firm AVL-Schrick, the company added.

You can build a turbojet engine but we have F-35s (Which we build the wings and advanced helmet for) and you don't, so who won?
