Chinese Chief of Staff Visits Israel: Renewing Military Relations?

Chinese General Chen Bingde arrives on a state visit to Israel.

First such visit since crisis in Israeli-Chinese relations of the early 2000s

08:53 GMT, August 18, 2011 On August 14, 2011 General Chen Bingde, the Chinese Chief of Staff, arrived on a state visit to Israel. Although the visit it not expected to generate a profound change in the bilateral military ties, it has aroused a great deal of attention. First of all, the visit is being portrayed as part of a growing military relationship between the countries. This occasion, the first time a Chinese chief of staff has visited Israel, comes on the heels of a visit to Israel in May 2011 by the commander of the Chinese navy, while the following month Israel's Defense Minister visited China – the first such visit in a decade.

Second, the serious crises in Israeli-Chinese relations of the early 2000s made the military the most sensitive area in these relations. Israel, which until then had provided China with military technologies, was forced under American pressure to abrogate unilaterally an agreement to supply China with the Phalcon airborne early warning system; a few years later, again under American pressure, it was forced to reject a Chinese request to provide maintenance work on UAVs (the Harpy) it had supplied previously. Israel subsequently arrived at an understanding with the United States that prevented further military exports to China. These circumstances brought Israeli-Chinese relations to a nadir, and although political relations have since been restored, the limitations on security exports to China still in place would presumably make it difficult to renew military relations.

Under these circumstances, the reciprocal visits indeed give rise to speculation about closer military cooperation between China and Israel. Possible explanations should first be sought on the Chinese side. First, as the party previously injured by the severing of military relations and especially because of the enormous gap in size between the two nations, the renewal of relations depends on China’s desire to do so. Second, as long as there has been no change in Israel’s military exports policy – and there is no evidence of such a change – Israel has nothing new to offer China. Nonetheless, it seems that even under present circumstances, strengthening military relations may benefit China.

Militarily, China is interested not only in original technologies but also in broader knowledge, and Israel, with its vast operational experience, is viewed by China as an authoritative source. China is clearly aware that the transmission of military knowledge is likely to be quite limited, but given the lack of practical experience (China has not conducted a military campaign since 1979), any information China receives may be of value. As for the transmission of military technologies, China with its political experience and patience may assume that current export limitations could one day be lifted, and may therefore continue to raise the issue on different occasions.

Information sharing is relevant not only in the military sphere, but also in broader strategic contexts. Over the last decade and in the latter half in particular, China’s involvement in the Middle East has deepened. Despite its desire to limit its activities in the region to the economic sphere, China’s growing dependence on Middle Eastern oil has impelled it to promote political ties to the region including, to a certain extent, military ties. It has promoted these ties by nurturing extensive diplomatic connections, increasing investments, demonstrating interest in regional political processes, selling arms, and recently by cautiously increasing its military presence. In addition to participating in regional peacekeeping forces, it sent a small naval force to the Gulf of Aden as part of the international struggle against piracy (December 2008), held joint maneuvers with Turkey (fall of 2010), and sent naval vessels and airplanes to evacuate its citizens from Libya (February 2011).

In a situation in which China’s interests in the region are becoming more complex and its desire for continued stability is growing, the association with Israel has clear benefits. Not only can Israel provide China with a current perspective on what is happening in the region – for example, the developments of the “Jasmine Revolution” and trends in terrorism – but by maintaining strategic channels of information with Israel, China can avoid surprises on the part of Israel. Moreover, this type of relationship may even afford China some measure of influence over Israel’s moves. In a broader dimension, strengthening military ties with Israel may be part of a Chinese effort to establish gradually a strategic presence in the Middle East, a subject that has recently been discussed in China. The fact that Israel is the clear ally of the United States only strengthens the profitability of such a move, because in the growing competition between the two powers, the seeming strengthening of military relations with an American ally earns points for China.

As for Israel, the new situation presents it with a dilemma. On the one hand, given China’s rising global status, Israel has an interest in strengthening bilateral ties, especially because since the Phalcon affair Israel has sought to repair the damage and recover from lost opportunities. In addition, strengthening ties with China may offer Israel an additional means to promote its campaign against the Iranian nuclear program and limit the transfer of Chinese weapons and ammunition (apparently indirectly and unintentionally) to Hamas and Hizbollah. In addition, in light of China’s strengthening ties with the Arab world and Iran because of its growing dependence on imported oil, there is a real concern that Beijing will show increased support for them on the international diplomatic arena. China’s vote in the UN in favor of the Goldstone Report – against its own foreign policy principles – is an example of this diplomacy. Therefore, it is up to Israel to find joint areas of interest to balance this tendency, if only in part.

On the other hand, having previously suffered due to its military relations with China, Israel is not interested in creating the impression that cooperation is growing, thereby yet again arousing American suspicions. These limitations are clear to China, and if it is sincerely interested in a long term strengthening of military relations with Israel, China will likely not force Israel to choose between China and the US – a choice whose outcome is not in question – and will rather take advantage of every possible channel to strengthen cooperation. For its part, Israel will find it difficult to forego the opportunity to strengthen its military relations with China, but unlike the past, when it ignored the tension between the US and China or alternately chose one side only, it will now have to find a way to maneuver between the two.

L'Allemagne vend un 6ème Dolphin à Israel avec une propulsion anaérobie.

L’Allemagne va vendre un 6è sous-marin à Israël

L’Allemagne va livrer à Israël son 6è sous-marin de la classe Dolphin, à capacité nucléaire. La vente sera subventionnée par l’Allemagne avec un total de 135 millions €, a révélé dimanche soir le magazine allemand Der Spiegel.


Selon le magazine allemand, le ministre allemand de la défense, Tomas de Maiziere, a rencontré la semaine dernière le premier ministre israélien, Benjamin Netanyahu, et son ministre de la défense, Ehud Barak, et leur a promis de conclure l’accord pour ce sous-marin.

Le sous-marin Dolphin est capable de lancer des missiles balistiques à têtes nucléaires.

Les discutions sur la vente du sous-marin s’étaient bloquées l’an dernier après que les Allemands aient refusé d’accord un rabais, comme ils l’avaient fait pour les précédentes ventes. Le sous-marin coute entre 500 millions $ et 700 millions $ (355 à 497 millions €). Les sous-marins sont considérés comme l’arme la plus sophistiquée et stratégique d’Israël.

Israël dispose déjà de 3 sous-marins de la classe Dolphin. Deux autres sont actuellement en construction en Allemagne, leur livraison est attendue en 2012 et 2013.

Selon la presse étrangère, les sous-marins israéliens ont une capacité de riposte nucléaire et emportent des missiles de croisière à têtes nucléaires.

Les nouveaux sous-marins — des U-212 — seront équipés d’une nouvelle technologie allemande dans laquelle le système de propulsion combine un système de batteries classiques au plonb et un système de propulsion anaérobie pour une navigation lente et silencieuse, utilisant des piles à combustible et des réservoirs d’hydrogène et d’oxygène.

Les sous-marins seront aussi modifiés en fonction du retour d’expérience de la marine israélienne. Les Dolphin actuellement en service dans la flotte israélienne ont été construits sur mesure selon ses besoins, et auraient une capacité opérationnelle considérable

C'est plutot le contribuable allemand qui paye

Oui peut être mais sa reste accessoire Israël renforce sa force sous-marine avec des SM possédant ne plus grande autonomie donc une une grande capacité de projection

En 2009, la marine israélienne a fêté les 50 ans de sa composante sous-marine, officiellement crée en 1959. Mais l'idée est un petit peu plus ancienne !
L'acquisition des premiers SM n'a pu se concrétiser qu'après un long combat entre un jeune marin et ancien résistant israélien, Yorsale, originaire du Mexique et le commandant de la marine ! Il faut revenir en 1950, lorsque Yorsale surnommé Dror ( Liberté ) a été invité à rejoindre le jeune marine, et fut envoyé en France pour étudier la chasse ASM ! à son retour il a arrivé à une conclusion : Le SM est l'arme de l'avenir ... au Lieu de les combattre, vaut mieux les rejoindre !
Le commandement de la marine déclara publiquement que l'acquisition des SM, est un ... Fantasme !! Ceci n'a pas eu d'effet sur la volonté de Yorsale qui n'a pas abandonné !
La montée en puissance de la flotte sous-marine arabe a renversé tous les calculs de l'EMM ... C'est ainsi qu'en 57, le rêve commence à devenir une réalité, un groupe de volontaires de la marine a été envoyé à Toulon pour une formation dans le domaine ... à ce moment Yorsale était à la recherche d'un fournisseur pour le Premier SM israélien, il choisira ainsi le Type S britannique, et arrive à décrocher le soutien de Shimon Peres, à l'époque DG de l'office de la défense qui recommanda l'achat au gouvernement !
Yrosale est choisi pour être à la tête de la branche sous-marine, le Tanin, premier SM israélien est accueilli ensuite à Haïfa quelques temps plut tard, au port de Haïfa vers la fin de 1959 !
Le contrat d'achat signé en 58, portait sur la livraison de 2 SM ex-RN datant de la fin de la WWII, et c'est Bengurione en personne qui leur donnera leurs noms, Tanin et Rahav, des noms de monstres cités dans la bible.
5 ans après leur acquisition, la marine israélienne décide de renforcer ses forces sous-marines, il choisit ainsi d'acheter 3 type T des britishs, plus grands et plus avancés ! Datant de la fin des années 40, ils ont été modernisés pour les remettre au gout du jour, surtout niveau propulseur. Ces SM ont été les INS Leviathan, Dakar et Dolphin.
Qaund le vent de la guerre a soufflé au MO, le commandement de la marine israélienne ordonna la livraison de l'INS Leviathan, armé de 12 torpilleurs ! sur le chemin, il perdra accidentellement 2 des membres de son équipage. Il arrivait à Haifa, un jour après la fin de la guerre.
Pendant la guerre de 6 Jours, le nom de l'INS Tanin a brillé, en effet le SM avait participé à l'attaque du port d'Alexandrie en transportant des commandos sur les lieux !
Après la guerre ils ont été désarmés, le Tanin resté pour servir de cible, le Rahav a été ferraillé.
En 1968, la livraison des 2 type T commence, l'INS recevra sa modernisation en Israél. Sur le chemin, tout contact avec l'INS Dakar est perdu !! On retrouvera son épaves des décennies après, par hasard, au large de Crète en 97 !
Ses sisterships ont joué un grand rôle dans l'après guerre de 67, surtout pour la surveillance des mouvements des unités arabes ennemies. Sauf que lors de la guerre de 73, l'INs Leviathan n'a été plus dans état opérationnel lui permettant de prendre la mer une nouvelle fois, il a été désarmé la même année, l'INS Dolphin quand à elle a été en cale sèche, il sera HS 2 ans plus tard ... Un grand coup pour la défense d'Israël !
Vers la Fin des années 60, Israél décide de passer à une nouvelle étape, et acheter des SM, neufs et bien mesuré selon ses besoins, il choisira ainsi des SM dérivés des Type205/206 allemands, et qui seront construits en UK. Les INS Gal, Tanin et Rahav, qui formaient la fameuse classe GAL, ont été ASA en 76 et 77. Les Gal étaient des SM de très petites tailles, mais avec des grandes capacités de combat, une grande manœuvrabilité, hautement automatisé à l'époque avec un équipage professionnel et réduit, c'était le SM d'Israél. Dés leur admission en service, ils se spécialiseront dans le combat contre les guérilla, surtout au Liban avant et pendant la guerre de 82.
En 1983, ils recevront les missiles SubHarpoon et en 87 les nouveaux torpilles Mk37. Après une modernisation au milieu des années 90, ils quitteraient le service avec le début des années 2000 après 20 ans de service, pendant lesquelles ils ont été utilisés avec un taux rarement égalé même dans les grandes marines de l'occident.
Le remplacement des Gal, dont la durée de vie a été réduit à cause du grand taux d'utilisation, a été décidé vers la fin des années 80, les contrats signés en 89 avec des chantiers allemands pour le projet Dolphins ... l'Absence de culture de défense naval chez le commandant des armées Ehud Barak et son Major font que ce dernier décide d'annuler le projet en 1990 sous prétexte de problème financières ... mais "grâce à Saddam Hussain", le projet est sauvé quelques mois après, Février 1991 !
Accusé de fournir des armes et équipements permettant le développement d'armes biologiques à Saddam, l'Allemagne a reçu plusieurs pertes économiques, Kohl décide ainsi de livrer à demi prix 2 Dolphins, qui seront porté à 3 en 1995.
Construites en Allemagnes, l'électronique est made in Israël !! Ces SM sont parmi les plus avancés dans le monde et parmi les plus silencieux, destinés aux missions de surveillance, de reconnaissance et d'interdiction. Ils sont armés avec 10 TLT.
Les premiers Dolphin sont basé sur le design des U209. En 2006, Israel décide de renforcer sa flotte, et passe une commande pour 2 Dolphin avancés, basés sur le concept des U212. L’Année dernière le lancement de l'un d'eux a été effectué à Kiel. Un 6° a été commandé dernièrement.
C'est ainsi qu'Israel rend Hommage à Yorsale, mort en 1976.

Defense Minister: Another Iron Dome battery to be stationed in Ashdod

Defense Minister Barak addressed the security threats in southern Israel after a concrete terrorist attack warning

Isreali Minister of Defense Ehud Barak addressed the security situation in southern Israel, ten days after the multi-pronged terrorist attack in Eilat, during a visit to the ELTA factory of the Israel Aerospace Industries, today Monday (August 29).

"We're on high-alertness in the south today, facing a potential terrorist attack similar to that of ten days ago," said Barak. "We're determined to target the terrorists responsible for the attacks and intercept this one. Once again, responsibility for the terrorist attacks is traced back to Gaza; not only the Islamic Jihad Movement, but also the Hamas and other powerful organizations."

The Minister of Defense said during his visit that within the next ten days, a third Iron Dome anti-missile battery will be stationed protecting the city of Ashdod, home to over 200,000 civilians. Two batteries are already defending Ashkelon (over 100,000 civilians) and Be'er Sheva (over 180,000 civilians).

"By the end of the year we plan on acquiring a fourth battery and put into use a total of nine batteries as part of the national emergency plan within the next two years," said Barak. "This situation revamps the defense and security of Israeli civilians, who are still in need of shelters. The government will be able to intervene in the attacks more freely."

The Defense Minister also addressed of the Chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz's order to bolster forces in southern Israel and at the Israel-Egypt border due to a concrete warning that the Islamic Jihad organization is intending to carry out a terrorist attack in the region.

"We understand that the terrorist attack that took place 10 days ago may not have been the last," said Defense Minister Barak. "We're preparing with everything at our disposal to recognize, defend and thwart in case anybody attempts such an attack again. I repeat: the terrorists in Gaza will not come out clean."

Former Israel Navy Chief: Israel can defend its gas fields
Rafael's unmanned naval patrol vehicles are among means being introduced to protect Israel's offshore rigs.
4 September 11 13:30, Yuval Azoulai
Unmanned naval patrol vehicles produced by Israel's security industries will protect national interests at sea, with a focus on the gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea. Sources inform "Globes" that among the means that the Israel Navy has designated to protect sensitive installations are unmanned naval patrol vehicles produced by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd.. The IDF has already received a number of these "Protector" unmanned naval patrol vehicles over the last year, and the security establishment is looking to purchase additional ships. This will double the Navy's manpower that regularly patrols near the gas fields, and provide a response to terrorist attempts to attack them. The Protector meets the challenge of declarations by Hizbullah and other terrorist organizations in the past that view these fields as possible targets for attacks.

Sources inform "Globes" that Rafael's unmanned naval patrol vehicles are equipped with advanced radar systems that enable them to warn security forces about suspicious movements approaching the rigs using sophisticated night and day vision equipment and an independent firing system. The Protector is 11 meters long, is capable of going 70 km/h, and to remain in operation for many hours.

These unmanned naval patrol vehicles are routinely carried on board large ships and are sent out to sea in times of need. In this way, they have the ability to react to warnings at short notice. According to foreign reports, Singapore's navy uses such vessels in its routine operations. Rafael director of naval warfare systems Moshe Elazar will soon unveil some of the new applications of the unmanned naval patrol vehicle at a special conference to be held by the technology group, which will mainly focus on homeland security.

The conference, which will take place at the Airport City Avenue Conference Center, will display new developments and approaches for sensitive installation protection, as we reach the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Elazar said that a number of companies worldwide involved in offshore oil and gas drilling have already bought and begun operating: "Automatic weapon systems can be installed on the deck of the ship that are activated from a remote location, for example a control station on the coast. A water cannon system can also be installed on the ship to deal with hostile parties that approach the sensitive installation by boat," Elazar said. Elazar intends to display a large number of the capabilities during the conference, for example, its innovative optic systems and its advanced sensory systems.

The Protector is not the only solution to the threats on the gas fields: just a few weeks ago, the foreign media reported that the Israel Air Force routinely operates unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to protect gas fields located off Israel's coast. The UAVs, which fly above the gas fields, are equipped with advanced identification and detection systems, most of which are classified. The systems supply real-time information to the command and control center about all unusual behavior that might be part of a possible terrorist attack. These reports refer to the Heron UAV, produced by Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (IAI) (TASE: ARSP.B1).

Senior security officials have recently told "Globes" that gas discoveries in the Mediterranean Sea have intensified the need to expand IDF activity in the maritime sector. They believe that it is a real possibility that these threats will turn into attempted attacks. A few months ago, Minister for Home Front Defense Matan Vilnai warned that that there is a threat to the gas fields from Syria's missiles. Vilnai did not elaborate about what type of missiles, but the "immediate suspect" is the Russian Yakhont Cruise Missile. The Israeli security establishment is concerned about the Syrians owning these missiles and the vulnerability of Israel naval vessels. However, when a missile can hit accurately at 300 km, it is more capable of hitting a fixed target, like a gas rig. One of the security establishment's assumptions is that whatever Syria has will eventually reach Hizbullah, so it is possible that harm will come from Hizbullah. It is some consolation to know though, that the IAI's Barak 8, is capable of intercepting the Yakhont.

A missile attack is just one threat among a wide variety of threats that have been preoccupying security leaders this past year. Here are a few scenarios:

Launching a Torpedo missile from a submarine.
Planting underwater explosives on rigs.
Takeover of a rig by a band of terrorists, and then explosion of rig.
Suicide booby-trapped boat or aerial vehicle attack on a rig.

And the list goes on. "Israel has the capability to protect its gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea," said Former Israel Navy Commander Vice Admiral (res.) David Ben-Ba'ashat, in an attempt to calm fears, in an interview with "Globes". "We must protect our installations out at sea. We must protect them since they are considered easy prey by Hizbullah and others. Of course the need to protect these sites will expand as Israel relies more and more heavily on natural gas. This will have wide range ramifications over the next few years on the way the Israel Navy will equip itself, including building active air and sea circuits. I have no doubt that the Navy's power structure will be affected by this need and that significant steps are being taken on the matter."

Head of the conference's steering committee Colonel (res.) Amnon Ben David, an expert in developing and marketing systems for security purposes, said that, "Recently more attention has been put on maritime space, and I predict that it will receive more resources as a result of understanding this great threat in this area. Unmanned aerial and naval patrol vehicles are involved, as well as other means, which cannot be discussed."

There is financial significance to expanding maritime security activity. Senior security officials estimate that the cost of establishing a security system that will provide a realistic solution to the situation at sea is high, and will anyway require thorough consideration by the IDF in its equipment planning for the 2012 and 2016 five-year plan. Even now when the Mediterranean Sea's gas infrastructure is far from being developed, Israeli officials estimate the cost for preparing for their protection at tens of millions of shekels. These officials believe that when the number of locations needing protection will grow, the cost for protecting them will rise accordingly.

The security establishment has considered the issue of responsibility to protect gas fields in the past, including participation in costs by the businesses that will earn a fortune from the fields. Recently a security official stated that in any case, the state of Israel is responsible for the security of the fields since they are located in Israel's economic waters. At any rate, the businesses will be need to pay large royalties to the state's coffers.

According to Ben-Ba'ashat, following upheaval in the region, the Middle East "is entering a new chapter in the evolution of Israeli control over its maritime region, which is a step up that will require the current naval establishment to adjust to the new needs. These requirements sharpen the need to enlarge a security presence at sea, to create deterrence, to achieve complete control over intelligence gathering, to streamline the monitoring and control capability of boats that approach Israel's maritime border, and when there is an unusual occurrence, to have control over the breaking situation swiftly, and to react quickly," he said.

Worst case scenarios:

Volleys of accurate missiles on rigs.
Explosion of booby-trapped boats at a rig.
Takeover of a rig by armed terrorists.
Planting of powerful explosives.
Crashing of booby-trapped aerial vehicle on a rig.
Torpedo missile fired by enemy submarine.
