Another free submarine extorted from Germany because of "muh shoah".

The INS Rahav cost Israel a reported $2 billion (NIS 8 billion).

The price tag, seen by some as exorbitant, was offset by a considerable discount from Berlin.

Hahaha.

Take into account that a Typ 212A costs $500-600 million, but runs in a larger production run. Most likely the price tag included development costs, for specifically Israeli design and modifications (spread over just a few subs), plus some sort of long term package for support and maintenances.

Number blurbs as such don't mean much without details of the underlying deal.

הצוללת השישית, שכאמור תיקרא אח"י דקר, תגיע מגרמניה לישראל בסביבות 2019. לאחר הגעתה, ממליצים בצה"ל, יתייצב חיל הים על חמש צוללות וצפוי להפסיק את פעילות הוותיקה ביותר.

the dolphin is a modified variant of the type 212a the cost would be greater than that of the 212a. but it wont be 2 billion. also the german government chipped into to, 170 million to begin construction. in all a third of the total value of the contract for the 3 subs was paid for by the german government as aid.

you've no idea.... it not just for a particular country... Israel's land mass is not enough to survive a Nuke war, so before Israel goes down it'll make sure not a single Muslim country would survive that's the one reason they've extended their missiles reach till Philippines and Indonesia with Jericho 3.

You need help,mentally,not every Muslim country is an enemy of Israel.

 

[$@rJen]

You need help,mentally,not every Muslim country is an enemy of Israel.

and all those countries are not friendly with Israel or would stand with Israel in case of war. This is not a fantasy.... this threat is real and that's how Israel keep its enemies at bay...

And Israel policy makers would strongly disagree with you... if nuke war happens and if Israel is going down in History why would Israel feel sympathetic towards any Muslim countries those were not recognizing Israel and was only there to trouble Israel in every way!!! Simple.... Israel would take down those countries along with her...

 

[KN-1]

Why dont Israel build its own subs?

 

[DavidSling]

Why dont Israel build its own subs?

money....Israel is a country of 8 mil people

 

[libertycall]

Is there any particular country whose role in the region has caused this build-up, or is this build-up in accordance with previous strategic doctrine?

Why wo

INS Rahav, which arrives in Haifa from Germany Tuesday, expands Israel’s purported ‘second-launch’ naval capabilities to five subs

The INS Rahav, Israel's newest submarine, sets off from the German port of Kiel towards Haifa, December 17, 2015. (IDF Spokesperson's Unit)

The INS Rahav is expected to reach Haifa on Tuesday, where top government and military officials will welcome the newest addition to Israel’s small navy.

The German-built Rahav left the German port of Kiel last month.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Reuven Rivlin, IDF chief of staff Lt. Gen. Gadi Eizenkot and Israel Navy commander Admiral Ram Rothberg will take part in the ceremony along with a flotilla of warships and other water craft.

Ordered a decade ago, the Rahav will be Israel’s fifth Dolphin-class submarine, joining the Tanin, Tekuma, Leviathan and Dolphin at the Haifa naval base.

Israeli submarines are reportedly capable of being equipped with nuclear-armed missiles, affording the tiny Jewish state a “second-strike” capability in case it is attacked by nuclear weapons.

Israel has not acknowledged the existence of Israeli nuclear weapons, though foreign media and analysts say it possesses as many as 200 warheads.

Rahav is the Hebrew name for the Greek god of the sea, Neptune, and has been used for other naval ships in the past, but it can also mean “haughtiness” or “arrogance” in modern Hebrew.

The submarine, built by the German Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft shipbuilding company, was unveiled in April 2013, but required an additional year and a half of work to make it fully operational. The diesel-powered sub is over 220 feet (67 meters) long and weighs more than 2,000 tons. It will be staffed by a crew of approximately 50 sailors.

The vessel’s air-independent propulsion system, which operates through a fuel cell instead of using louder, oxygen-dependent sources, allows the submarine to remain underwater without surfacing for weeks at a time, a naval source said.

The INS Rahav cost Israel a reported $2 billion (NIS 8 billion).

The price tag, seen by some as exorbitant, was offset by a considerable discount from Berlin.

Last year, the INS Tanin — “crocodile,” in Hebrew — arrived in Israel. The nuke-capable submarine, similar in most ways to the new Rahav, came equipped with 10 torpedo tubes capable of holding a variety of missiles, according to Defense News.

Submarines, unmatched in their ability to hide from enemy navies, have long been a key element in Israel’s defense policy.

Israel also purchased a sixth submarine from Germany in 2013 which is expected to be completed in a few years. It is not yet clear if it will join the current fleet or replace one of the older vessels.
