Armée Israélienne (IDF)

Il s'agit d'une boule optronique de surveillance .

vue la section du coaxe je doute fort, je veux pas te contredire mais je croie pas a ta version

c'est l'unité yahalom (diamand) ce sont les rats de tunnel de tsahal avec les samoor

Ah,ces bon vieux masques anti-poussiére ces soldats en aurai bien besoin

Tsahal en aurai bien un ou deux pour les rotir mais comme c'est pas cacher ils ont trouver une solution original

La crotte de lion, meilleur allié des soldats israéliens
Des soldats israéliens ont trouvé un moyen imparable de prévenir les fausses alertes dans leurs positions à la frontière nord d'Israël: répandre des crottes de lion pour éloigner les animaux

C'est un moyen aussi original que radical qu'utilisent les soldats israéliens pour prévenir les fausses alertes dans leurs positions à la frontière nord d'Israël : répandre des crottes de lion pour éloigner les animaux qui s'approchent de la clôture électronique, rapporte lundi le Yediot Aharonot. Ces animaux, en particulier les sangliers, empêchaient les soldats de dormir en déclenchant régulièrement des alarmes au contact de la clôture dotée de senseurs électroniques. Les militaires se sont rendus au zoo de Tel-Aviv et en sont revenus avec des sacs remplis d'excréments de lion.

"On ne pouvait plus supporter ces animaux, surtout les sangliers qui déclenchaient le branle-bas de combat nuit et jour", a confié au quotidien un des militaires réservistes. "Ces animaux nous rendent fous, surtout la nuit", s'est-il plaint. La méthode pour dissuader le gibier intrus, déjà utilisée par les agriculteurs en Israël, est apparemment efficace, bien que les lions aient disparu depuis belle lurette dans la région.

Les sous-marins israéliens mènent des missions d’intelligence grâce aux détecteurs et aux divers appareils optoélectroniques embarqués

La Shayetet 7 est une petite unité stratégique de Tsahal. En 51 ans d’existence, seulement 2000 hommes et officiers ont servi en son sein. Et pour cause. La 7 est la flotte des sous-marins. Pour Haaretz, le correspondant militaire Anshel Pfeffer pénètre au cœur de cette unité placée au secret. Les missions confiées à la Shayetet sont en effet laconiques, sans explication. L’équipage découvre souvent après coup la raison de sa présence en un point à un moment donné. Dès la phase initiale de formation, les soldats sont mis en quarantaine sur la base navale de Haïfa. Suppression des téléphones portables, communications espacées et règlementées avec les familles. Pendant 4 mois et demi les seuls trajets autorisés conduisent au réfectoire, au dortoir ou aux salles de cours. Interdiction de dévier des itinéraires ou d’adresser la parole à qui que ce soit sur la base.

La surveillance s’exerce 24 heures sur 24, chaque trait de comportement est relevé. La discipline et le souci du détail sont poussés à leur paroxysme, la vie civile n’est qu’un lointain souvenir. A la moindre incartade, les punitions pleuvent. Au cours de ces premiers mois, 40% des recrues décrochent. Ceux qui restent enchaîneront pendant 4 ans et demi (3 ans plus 18 mois d’active obligatoires) des missions de 18 à 30 jours. La barrière d’entrée est donc élevée. 5 candidats sont en lice pour chaque poste à pourvoir.

Le premier tri s’effectue en fonction du résultat des examens médicaux et des tests psychométriques. Le profil des candidats doit être supérieur à 82 et leur kab״a à 54 (système d’évaluation composite en vigueur dans l’armée israélienne). Tout au long des 13 mois de formation, les soldats devront en effet mémoriser des milliers de pages de détails techniques relatifs aux postes de combat, à la maintenance, aux réparations en conditions extrêmes.

En complément des qualités humaines et des compétences techniques requises, les sous-mariniers doivent avoir la capacité d’intégrer une grande quantité d’informations en une courte période. En tout état de cause, l’étude se poursuivra sur toute la durée du service y compris pendant les périodes de plongée. Pour parfaire les formations, Tsahal a mis en service deux simulateurs avancés qui reconstituent les postes de combats, le centre d’information opérationnel et le centre de commande et de contrôle des 1900 tonnes immergées.

En situation réelle, Anshel rappelle que les sous-marins israéliens mènent avant tout des missions d’intelligence grâce aux détecteurs et aux divers appareils optoélectroniques embarqués. Aucune précision n’est donnée sur les caractéristiques du matériel utilisé (même si des hypothèses crédibles circulent fréquemment) mais un officier suggère incidemment que “l’on peut voir à l’intérieur des maisons”.

L’équipage du 4ème sous-marin de classe Dolphin attendu pour l’an prochain, est en cours de formation. Un 5ème sous-marin rejoindra la 7ème flotte en 2012. Deux équipages seront formés pour chaque INS. Pour faire face aux nouvelles missions, les effectifs vont donc tripler dans un avenir proche.

Les sous-marins d’attaque conventionnels de classe Dolphin (INS Tekuma, Leviathan et Dolphin) mesurent un peu moins de 60 mètres, embarquent une trentaine d’hommes d’équipages (et optionnellement un commando de forces spéciales), ont un champ d’action de 4500 km, se déplacent à 20 nœuds, glissent à plus de 300 mètres de profondeur et sont équipés de 10 tubes lance-torpilles dont 4 peuvent lancer des missiles de croisière d’une portée de 1500 km (type Popeye) ou mettre à l’eau des SDVs (mini-submersibles). Les 6 autres tubes moins larges peuvent accueillir des missiles antinavires de type Harpoon.—

US and Israel Sign Project Agreement for the David's Sling Defensive Weapon System

The U.S. Department of Defense and the State of Israel today signed an agreement for the development of the David's Sling Weapon System. This agreement continues efforts initiated under the U.S.-Israel Short-Range Ballistic Missile Defense Project Agreement signed by both nations in 2008.

Signing on behalf of the United States was Army Lt. General Patrick J. O'Reilly, director of the Missile Defense Agency. Signing for the State of Israel were Rear Admiral Ophir Shoham, Director, Directorate of Defense Research and Development; Mr. Tzahi Malach, Department of Finance, Ministry of Defense; and Mr. Ehud Shani, Director General, Ministry of Defense.

The David's Sling Weapon System Project Agreement will advance efforts to develop an Israeli capability against short-range and theater ballistic missiles, large-caliber rockets, and cruise missiles. Included in the project is the continued development of the Stunner Interceptor to provide lower-tier intercept capability for Israel's multi-layered missile defense system. David's Sling will also address the threat posed by the types of inexpensive and easily-produced short-range missiles and rockets used during the 2006 Lebanon War, and will also advance low-altitude intercept technology and provide that technology to benefit U.S. and Israeli industry.

The signing of the project agreement demonstrates the continued commitment of the United States to the defense of Israel.

Deux avions sont en compétition pour remplacer les A-4 skyhawk d'entrainement de l'IAF le M-346I talien et le T-50 sud coréen ,quel est votre préference?
VS

Je vote pour le M346....même si un peu cher.

il semble que le M-346 l'emporterai,l'avion devrai étre construit en Israel sous license.
on parle de 30 unités.

Les A-4 malgré leur obsolescence arrivaient parfaitement a faire face a des avions comme les F-15 de l'IAF en dogfight. Est ce que le M-346 sera en mesure de remplire ce role d'agressor aussi ou est ce qu'il sera consacré uniquement à l'entrainement ?!
J'ignore franchement bien des choses à propos du 346 mais je verrai bien d'autre appareil de la meme catégorie à sa place, aurai t'on pu penser à voir l'IAF avec des Yak-130 par exemple ?! Vous direz certainement que les deux avions sont presque identiques, mais en visionnant quelques videos alors on pourrait en croire que le Yak est un peu plus manoeuvrable que le M-346, peut etre a cause d'une difference au niveau de la propulsion vu que le design (donc l'aerodynamisme de l'appareil) sont presque identique si ce n'est bien le cas.

En théorie l'avion ne servira que pour l'entrainement est la formation des pilotes,la compétition n'est pas encore fini le T-50 pourai tous a fait l'emporté,officiellement rien n'est fait les annonces comme quoi le M-346 serai vainqueur sont le faits de la presse,donc on verra mais il faut savoir que le parc d'avion A-4 ainsi que les fouga magister doivent étre impérativement remplacé a cause de l'ancienneté des cellules.

IAF ups air base drills due to threat of missile attack

IAF officer: "We need to be able to operate even as rockets and missiles hi the base."
Fearing unprecedented missile attacks directed at its bases, the Israel Air Force has doubled the number of emergency drills it has carried out since the beginning of the year to prepare pilots and ground crews for continuing to operate in a time of war, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

At the Hatzor IAF base, for example, airmen have carried out 25 drills since the beginning of the year, compared to just 12 last year. The drills vary and include scenarios that involve missile attacks on the base’s runway, living quarters and plane storage facilities.


The increase in training stems from intelligence assessments that in a future conflict with Hizbullah in Lebanon or Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Israel’s air force bases will be targeted.

During Operation Cast Lead last year, a number of rockets were fired in the direction of Hatzor, which is located near Gedera, as well as at Hatzerim, near Beersheba. During the Second Lebanon War in 2006, Hizbullah also tried to target the Ramat David base in the north.

“We do not have other bases that we can just move our aircraft to, and we need to learn how to continue operating as rockets and missiles are landing in the base,” a senior IAF officer who serves as a base commander told the Post.

According to the officer, it would be very difficult to stop a base from continuing to function, even though Hizbullah and Hamas have acquired long-range missiles with large warheads. Hizbullah, for instance, has M-600s, a missile manufactured in Syria that has a range of more than 250 kilometers and can carry a 500- kilogram warhead.
The main concern is that a missile could hit a runway. To deal with such a scenario, the IAF has established specially trained teams that are capable of fixing holes in runways within a matter of minutes. These teams have already deployed mounds of material needed at different places alongside the runways.

Another example was the decision by the commander of Hatzor to disperse missile storage sites throughout the base. The problem then was that the base did not have enough tractor drivers who could transport the missiles from where they were assembled to the aircraft.

For this purpose, the base trained dozens of soldiers to serve as tractor drivers in a time of war.

And they struck them with blindness

In the first-ever visit by a civilian reporter to the Sky Crows Squadron’s base the IAF gives a rare glimpse into Israel’s state-of-the-art electronic warfare capabilities
Sometime after midnight on September 6, 2007, 10 F-15I fighter jets took off from an air force base in Israel and headed towards Syria. The target – a nuclear reactor being built along the Euphrates River modeled after the North Korean reactor in Yongbyon and financed with Iranian assistance.

Minutes into the flight, the command came through from headquarters in Tel Aviv and seven of the planes broke away from the formation and dipped into Syrian airspace. Seconds later they had already dropped their first bomb on a radar installation. Only a few moments had passed and the planes were already over the nuclear rector, dropping their AGM-65 bombs, each one weighing about half a ton.

As the planes began making their way out of enemy airspace, the Syrian military finally woke up and fired air defense missiles into the air. But it was too little, too late.

This is the reported story of the socalled Operation Orchard, the bombing of a fledgling nuclear reactor which Syrian President Bashar Assad was building illicitly in an effort to strike a balance of power with Israel. Israel never confirmed attacking the site.

What is less known about the raid on the reactor is Israel’s reported use of electronic warfare in neutralizing Syria’s air defense systems, which form a tight line of security along its borders against Israeli raids like the one three years ago.

Two months after the operation, Aviation Week published a story titled “Israel shows electronic prowess” claiming that IAF electronic warfare (EW) systems succeeded in deactivating all of Syria’s air defense systems for the entire period of time that the Israeli fighter jets needed to infiltrate the country, bomb their target and escape.

Israel has never confirmed its use of electronic warfare and network invasion during the 2007 strike, just like it has never publicly confirmed that it was, in fact, the Israeli air force behind the bombing. In the article, however, Pinchas Buhris, who served as director general of the Defense Ministry at the time, admitted that Israel was investing a great deal of resources in developing these state-of-the-art capabilities.

“You need this kind of capability,” Buchris said at the time. “You’re not being responsible if you’re not dealing with it. And, if you can build this kind of capability, the sky’s the limit.”

For Lt.-Col. Oren, commander of the IAF’s Sky Crows Squadron – the unit responsible for developing and operating Israel’s EW capabilities, this statement is more than true.

IN AN EXCLUSIVE interview and visit to the squadron – the first ever by a civilian reporter – Oren provides a unique and rare glimpse into the quieter side of what the air force does. While pilots and fighter jets usually steal the headlines, in most operations there is always an element of EW involved, assisting the planes in getting where they need to go undetected.

The squadron’s mission is quite simple, Oren explains.

“The current theater of operations for aircraft is challenged and threatened by advanced surface-to-air missile systems in enemy territory,” he says. “Our objective is to activate our systems and to disrupt and neutralize the enemy’s systems.”

The Sky Crows Squadron is located on the far side of the Tel Nof Air Force Base not far from Rehovot. The headquarters are built like most squadron headquarters in the IAF – in the shape of a U – with offices lining both sides.

All of the personnel wear jumpsuits even though they are not pilots, although some of them started off but did not finish the IAF’s elite pilots’ course.

The importance of EW systems in the air force has grown tremendously in recent years as Israel’s enemies seek more and more advanced air defense systems. Iran is still working on convincing Russia to supply it with the S-300, one of the most advanced surface-to-air systems in the world. Syria recently received new Russian systems and Hizbullah and Hamas are believed to have a significant number of shoulder-to-air missiles.

Any potential future Israeli operation in Syria, Lebanon, Iran or Gaza would require the activation of EW systems to ensure that IAF planes arrive at their destinations unharmed, are able to drop their bombs over their designated targets and return to their bases back home.

THE IAF’s EW capabilities are split into two categories. The first is blocking communications and C4I systems. The second category is disrupting radar systems and preventing them from detecting and tracking incoming planes. As the squadron’s motto goes: “They shall not hear us; they shall not see us.”

The squadron, Oren says, relies on three main components – intelligence, technology and the men and women who operate the systems.

The intelligence is provided by the IAF’s Intelligence Command which studies the air defense and radar systems in the hands of Israel’s enemies and relays the information to the squadron. Then, the Israeli defense industries enter the picture and in coordination with the squadron and the IAF’s Materiel Command develop the necessary systems. The technological capabilities are described as “top secret” and only a select few within the industries and IAF know exactly how they work.

As Oren explains, even the closest of allies do not share information on each other’s EW systems. One example is Israel’s recent decision to purchase the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), which is a fifth-generation stealth fighter jet. Despite years of negotiations, Israel did not receive approval from the Pentagon to install its own EW systems on the plane in place of the US system. Instead, it can only attach the system as an “add-on” to the existing platforms.

“Israel is considered a world superpower in the field of EW,” Oren says.

The decision to open up the squadron to the media was not made easily and had to be approved at the highest levels within the IDF. One of the considerations was the unit’s 40th anniversary since its establishment in 1970 as well as – like many stories coming out of the IDF – a means of bolstering Israel’s deterrence.

The IAF’s EW systems are split into two subcategories – some are airborne and others are land-based in permanent installations. Oren’s squadron is responsible for the airborne equipment and his teams fly frequently on various missions – some involving fighter jets, some special operations behind enemy lines and some during routine sorties. Not much can be said about exactly what these officers currently do but some insight can be provided by looking at Israel’s past operations and wars.

In the First Lebanon War in 1982, for example, the airborne EW systems were instrumental in sabotaging Syria’s air defense systems and providing the IAF with ultimate air superiority over Lebanon. In subsequent air battles, the IAF managed to shoot down dozens of Syrian fighter jets without losing a single plane.

During the Second Lebanon War and Operation Cast Lead, the unit was again activated but this time mostly to break into Palestinian and Lebanese TV and radio channels to push anti-Hamas and anti-Hizbullah propaganda.

“The bottom line is that the IAF’s EW capabilities are relevant in every theater of operations and on every front,” Oren says. “There is no IAF operation that we are not part of – from special operations, to routine operations and all-out wars.”

A LOT of the unit’s work boils down to the intelligence it is provided ahead of a mission. While definitely focused on his missions, Oren always has Ron Arad on his mind. Arad, an IAF navigator, ejected over Lebanon in 1986 and is still missing in action.

“We have to know exactly which radar there is, what frequency it is operating on and what time we need to hit it,” Oren explains. “The price of a mistake is a plane detected and possibly a pilot getting shot down and having another Ron Arad on our hands.”

Oren’s unit can install systems in large aircraft like C-130 Hercules transport planes and this way provide coverage over a large area by disrupting many different systems at once. In addition, as a second layer of defense, each plane carries its own EW systems which are much more limited in their scope and range.

“I can protect an entire area from a standoff position while a plane’s systems are good just for itself as another layer of self-defense,” he says.

The training in the unit is long and last a year and a half before operators are declared operation-ready. After basic training and studies that include learning about systems employed by the enemy, the operators spend an entire year learning how to use the Israeli EW systems.

“There is a lot of pressure and a need for quick decisions and responses,” the unit commander says.”

One operator is Lt. Tal, a 21-year-old female officer. “This job requires a lot of studying – just sitting and reading books on the systems,” she says.

As an EW operator, Oren believes in the school of thought which argues that Israel does not need to get overly excited by the possible delivery of the S-300, for example, to Iran. While Oren won’t comment, foreign media reports have speculated over the years that Israel has or is already developing an EW system that would succeed in neutralizing the advanced surface-to- air missile system.

“We shouldn’t get stuck on one threat or another,” he suggests.

“The other side is constantly building up its capabilities and the IAF knows now and will know in the future how to provide a response to those threats.”

The advantage of using EW is that it is a soft-kill weapon and, unlike a bomb or missile, is not always even detected.

As a junior EW operator, Oren participated in the bombing of Ahmed Jibril’s weapons storehouse along the Lebanese- Syrian border in the 1990s. His mission was to ensure that the Syrian air defense systems would not detect the IAF aircraft.

He remembers his hands shaking aboard the EW aircraft as he worked to neutralize each radar.

“There was a large group of air defense batteries,” he recalls. “We activated the EW systems diligently and hit them hard with EW.”

The Sky Crows fit in well with the IAF’s overall policy of ensuring that it retains a qualitative military edge in the Middle East. This has never been more true than today, a period marked by unprecedented military buildup throughout the region – the $60 billion arms deal to Saudi Arabia as an example – in face of Iran’s continued pursuit of nuclear weapons.

“The IAF wants to retain its aerial superiority and we make sure that it can,” he says
