Il ne s'agit pas d'export,ayant suivit de prés les tractations du F-35I je comprend d'autant plus ce que veut dire moshé arens,il dit a juste titre que les avions de cinquiéme generation vont proliféré et tot ou tard apparaitre dans l'arsenal de pays ennemie d'israel,or les intenses tractations diplomatiques entre israel et les usa au sujet du F-35 ont demontré la volonté des americains de limité la puissance aerienne d'israel(mais aussi de tous les clients potentiels du F-35) avec l'episode que l'on connait,méme si israel a eu gain de cause pour le F-35I rien ne dit que dans l'avenir les us vendrons des avions de combats a israel au standard israélien. en gros arens parle a mot couvert d'un embargo,il suggére donc qu'israel prend les devants et applique son principe de ne pas dépendre de l'etranger pour des systémes d'armes critiques et de suivre l'exemple des programmes merkava,shavit,ofek,heron,python,gabriel,protector .......

il dit aussi que l'industrie militaire a des domaines d'excellences et qu'elle ne doit pas l'abandonner sous entendue en créant un programme d'avion de combat, l'industrie israelienne continuera a developper son savoir faire et sera encore plus puissante technologiquement et economiquent renforcant donc la puissance de Tsahal d'ou le titre de sa tribune" IDF's technological superiority must be defended".

BIBI a déja annoncer que les rentes du gaz et du pétrole serons consacré en priorité a l'education et a la défense,d'un point de vue financier c'est jouable surtout si les industriels engage une partie du budget sur leurs fonds propres,techniquement beaucoup de composant d'un eventuel avion son disponible radar aesa,train d'attérissage,systéme de guerre electronique,viseur de casque,missiles,satcom,cockpit,flir,pods,cft......autant que composants que les israéliens n'aurons pas a developpé ou a acheter sur etagéres.

selon moi les problémes techniques se situe plus au niveau de la propulsion a savoir du réacteurs je crains que les israéliens soient un peu juste a ce niveau.

Tous est une question de volonté politique selon moi,l'iaf aurai de toute facon besoin de 300 avions de combats chiffres incompréssible pour les 20 ans a venir.

A l'heure ou une industrie naval se devloppe en israel il serai judicieux de ne pas laissé les avions de coté.

Difficulté passagére pour Meged 5.

Citation:

Megued 5 en difficulté Le forage Megued 5, près de Rosh Haaïn, non loin de Tel-Aviv, est en difficulté. Dès le départ, le forage s’annonçait difficile en raison de la roche mêlée au pétrole qui en compromettait une exploitation réellement rentable. Mercredi, les actions en bourse ont subi une chute remarquable. Cependant, les associés de la société Guivot Olam ont annoncé jeudi que les problèmes étaient moins graves qu’ils ne le semblaient la veille. L’eau mêlée au pétrole qui a conduit à l’arrêt du forage ne dépasse pas les 3%. Par conséquent, les travaux ont repris, après 15 heures d’interruption. Israel7.com

Merkel est attendue en Israel dans deux jours,ou elle signera des protocoles de coopération.

Citation:

Visit of Chancellor Angela Merkel 27 Jan 2011 During Chancellor Merkel’s visit to Israel, a series of agreements and MOUs aimed at deepening and expanding the special relationship between the two countries will be signed. Chancellor Angela Merkel's forthcoming visit Israel to Israel will begin on Sunday 30 January 2011. This is the Chancellor’s third visit to Israel since 2007, a fact that testifies to the depth and strength of the bilateral relationship. During the visit, a series of agreements and MOUs (Memoranda of Understanding) aimed at deepening the relationship as well as expanding it to include additional areas of mutual interest, such as industrial research and development and cooperation in providing aid to developing countries, will be signed. Israel and Germany enjoy a mutually beneficial economic relationship. Germany is Israel’s third largest business partner in terms of imports and its eighth largest partner in terms of exports. During 2010, imports to Israel from Germany totaled $ 3.6 billion, while Israeli exports to that country amounted to $ 1.7 billion. The economic crisis of 2009 caused a general decline in the volume of trade, although it recovered in 2010. The total cost of the volume of trade between the two countries increased from $4.4 billion in 2009 to $ 5.3 billion in 2010. The MFA’s Agency for International Development Cooperation (MASHAV) cooperates closely with its German counterpart in the promotion of joint projects in developing countries. An irrigation and water management project is already underway in Ethiopia, and during Chancellor Merkel’s visit a declaration of intent regarding cooperation in Kenya in the Lake Victoria region will be signed. An additional citrus growing project in Ghana is currently being examined, as well as the possibility of cooperation in central Asia. An agreement between the two foreign ministries aimed at expanding the relationship between the young people of both countries and increasing the number of reciprocal visits by teenagers will also be signed during the visit. Strengthening the bond between Israeli and German youth is essential, as they are those who will secure the future of the special relationship. Israeli MFA

Explosion massive controler de 100 tonnes d'explosif dans le desert de l'Arava.

Israel conducts massive controlled blast Israel conducted a massive controlled explosion to calibrate instruments at seismic monitoring stations worldwide, officials said. Using 100 tons of explosives, The Geophysical Institute of Israel conducted the explosion at a site in the Negev on Wednesday. It registered 2.7 on the Richter scale, and created a mushroom cloud that reached the height of up to 1.78 miles, or three kilometers, Haaretz reported Thursday. Local scientists and scientists from the U.S. and France as well as journalists observed the blast. Dr. Rami Hofstetter, head of seismology at the Geophysical Institute told the newspaper the experiment was important to study how seismic waves travel. Testing stations located in countries such as Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia, all members of the International Monitoring System, were able to measure the explosion, the newspaper said. Stations in Africa, North America, South America, Asia and Europe provide data about nuclear tests that have not been reported to the United Nations or the international community, Haaretz said. The data was broadcast to the stations using equipment located 328 feet from the blast site and immediately transferred by satellite to the international data center located in Vienna for processing.

Le forage du champ pétrolier shahar 1 va commencer,les estimations les plus optimistes parlent de 260 millions de baril de pétrole,les moins entre 9 et 138 millions tu parle d'une fourchette

Shahar prospect gets nod for drilling The well, due to begin drilling in the second quarter, is targeting oil-bearing strata at a depth of 3,300 meters. The Southern Regional Planning and Building Commission has approved the drilling of the Shahar 1 well, scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2010. The well will drill to deep oil-bearing target strata. Ginko Oil Exploration LP, which fully owns the license, has two positive opinions about the amount about the amount of oil in the license area: one by Dr. Haim Fliegelman, who estimates 260 million barrels of oil, and a second by UK consultancy firm Simco Petroleum (Management) Ltd., which estimates 9-138 million barrels of oil in the target strata. At the current price of oil of $90 per barrel, the high-end estimate of 260 million barrels of oil is worth $23.4 billion, and the mid-range estimate of 41 million barrels of oil is worth $3.69 billion. Either way, the field has huge potential. The Shahar license covers 389,000 dunam (97,250 acres) south of the Arava junction at the southern end of the Dead Sea valley. The Shahar 1 well will drill to 3,300 meters at a cost of $9 million. Lapidoth Israel Oil Prospectors Corporation Ltd. (TASE: LAPD) will probably be the well contractor. Ginko, which owns the Shahar license, is in the final stages of merging with stock market shell Simcha Urieli & Sons Engineering & Construction Co, Ltd. (TASE: UREL), after Urieli's shareholders approved the merger agreement last week. Fliegelman is an oil engineering consultant. He advised Avner Oil and Gas LP (TASE: AVNR.L) on its offshore gas reserves. A number of oil and gas exploration companies and investors recently approached Ginko with offers to collaborate on the Shahar licenses. Ginko is reviewing the offers, as it plans to sell up to 50% of the license to investors, subject to approval by the Petroleum Supervisor. Globes

Si les israeliens décident de construire leurs avions cela sera avant tous pour des considération d'indépendance militaire et politique a l'image du merkava,du programme spatial etc etc

ps;je t'envoie des docs par MP sur les capacités aerospatial israélienne (avions,radars,structure etc etc ) pour que tu puisse y voir plus clair.
