Le hezbollah a confirmé que le drone lui appartenait et qu'il était de fabrication iranienne,je pense que c'est une provocation délibéré visant a crée une guerre ou du moin une escalade de quelques jours pour faire une diversion par rapport a la guerre en syrie et la crise économique que connait l'iran du aux sanctions.

Est-il envisagé une quelconque réaction de la part de votre armée ?

L'armée a envoyé des avions et des hélicoptères survolés le liban et simuler des raids,rien de plus.
nous ne sommes pas tombés dans leurs pièges(hezbollah+iran+syrie) déjà qu'ils ont pas réussie déclencher une guerre avec la turquie,c'est pas nous qui allons leurs fournir des excuses.

324 plutôt non ?

Cyprus and Israel mount joint military exercise


DEFENCE minister Fotis Fotiou said on Tuesday relations with Israel were entering “a new phase” as the two countries held a joint military exercise in Cypriot airspace.
Codenamed ‘Onisilos-Gideon’, the scheduled drill took place inside the Nicosia flight information region (FIR). Between 11am and 1am Israeli fighter jets carried out flybys over areas south of Limassol and Chirokitia.
Featuring 32 F15 and F16 jets and six more support aircraft of the Israeli Air Force, the exercise included simulated firing at targets on land and sea along the southern coast from Limassol to Paphos.
In comments to the press, Fotiou thanked his Israeli counterpart Moshe Ya’alon for the “excellent cooperation” of the countries’ respective ministries.
“Relations between Cyprus and Israel are entering a new phase,” Fotiou said.
“I am confident that the strategic dialogue that began several months ago will benefit both countries and will continue on all areas, including energy security.”
In April 2013 the two nations conducted a joint search and rescue (SAR) exercise in the sea area south of the island. The drill was held in line with the bilateral agreement drawn up in February 2012 between the Cyprus and Israel on SAR issues.

The ‘I’ Stands for Israel: Our Newest F-16 Fighter Jet Turns 10 Years Old

Published on: February 19, 2014



10 years ago today, the Israeli Air Force introduced its brand new iteration of the famed F-16 fighter plane – the F-16I. Known as the ‘Sufa’ (storm) in Hebrew, the aircraft was built in the U.S. but modified for the IDF’s unique needs with advanced systems designed and built in Israel.

What’s so special about the F-16? After all, fleets of F-16s exist in the air forces of nearly every western military. The F-16I ‘Sufa’, however, is different. The added ‘I’ stands for Israel, because it has been heavily modified to fit the specific needs of the Israel Air Force.

To make the pilot’s job as easy and effective as possible, the F-16I has been outfitted with cutting-edge weapons system hardware, a specially constructed radar system and a unique helmet technology that allows the pilot to launch weapons at an enemy aircraft using sight systems.  No wonder we nicknamed it ‘Sufa’ – that’s Hebrew for ‘storm’.

HELI-EXPO: Israel could double V-22 order size, Bell says

Israel could double the size of a potential order and buy 12 V-22 Osprey and form part of a plan to preserve production of the tiltrotor aircraft for several more years, Bell Helicopter chief executive John Garrison says.


The US Department of Defense notified Congress on 14 January that Israel had requested a potential sale of six V-22s.
But the Israeli government has requested information from the manufacturer for an order of twice that amount, says Garrison, speaking on the eve of the Heli-Expo 2014 convention.
“Israel has notified for six to 12 aircraft,” Garrison says.
The possibility of extending the Israeli deal could prove critical for Bell Helicopter’s ongoing efforts to preserve V-22 sales well beyond 2015.
The initial six aircraft expected to be ordered by Israel are not additional orders. They will instead be taken from six orders currently assigned to the US Marine Corps.
But there is hope that the Marines will be able to order six additional aircraft to cover the loss.
A second multiyear contract signed last year includes orders for 99 more V-22s and 23 options. One option has already been exercised to replace an aircraft that crashed, Garrison says.
“The Marines’ intent is to replace those [six Israeli orders] with the option purchase,” Garrison says, adding, “but budget dynamics will ultimately determine that.”
That means Israel and the Marine Corps could order 12 additional V-22s combined, in addition to the six already being negotiated with Israel.
Moreover, Japan has budgeted to buy 17 V-22s in a long-term spending plan released last month, Garrison says.
Bell Helicopter also remains hopeful that the Marines will buy exercise all of the 23 options within the current multi-year deal.
Longer-term, the Navy also is still looking for a replacement for the C-2 Greyhound. The service originally committed to buy 48 HV-22s, but never followed through with a contract.
Last week, Bell demonstrated a key capability that could improve the V-22’s appeal to naval and amphibious customers. One of the deficiencies of the V-22 has been an inability to carry the container that transports the Pratt & Whitney F135-PW-600 engine for the Lockheed Martin F-35B short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) variant.
Bell and P&W developed a new “frame” that replaces the container, allowing the V-22 to carry the power section of the F135 engine to an amphibious carrier, Garrison says. The new equipment was demonstrated last week in Fort Worth, Texas, he adds.

Elbit awarded contract to upgrade Israeli C-130H aircraft




Israeli defence firm Elbit Systems has been awarded a USD15 million dollar contract to carry out upgrades to the Israel Air Force's (IAF's) fleet of ageing C-130H Hercules transport aircraft.
Upgrades under the contract will include the construction of a new digital cockpit, enhanced radar systems, and a new head-up display (HUD).
Expected to take two years to complete, the improvements are designed to allow the C-130H to comply with the latest international Communications Navigations and Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) standards. This, in turn, will allow the aircraft to fly through commercial airspace, according to Elbit.
The contract will also see the C-130H planes fitted with additional capabilities, as a follow-on agreement signed between the company and the Israeli Defence Ministry in 2012.
Commenting on the contract, the general manager of Elbit's Aerospace Division, Yoram Shmuely, said: "We are proud to supply the IAF with new capabilities to meet demanding international standards. We have witnessed a growing demand for operability of transport aircraft in commercial airspace and trust that further customers will require similar capabilities for their transport fleets."
Israel's fleet of Hercules aircraft is based at IAF Nevatim Air Base, in the south of the country.
The IAF is preparing to receive its first C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft from United States (US) manufacturer Lockheed Martin in the coming months. IAF pilots visited the US for test flights last year.
The new C-130J squadron, to be also based at Nevatim airbase, is slated to upgrade the IDF's long-range strategic capabilities, allowing the air force to carry more troops to further destinations than the older models, which have been in service for more than four decades.

Israël annonce avoir intercepté en mer Rouge un navire d'armes iraniennes      

JERUSALEM, 05 mars 2014 (AFP) -

La marine israélienne a intercepté mercredi matin en mer Rouge un navire transportant "une cargaison iranienne d'armes sophistiquées" destinées à des groupes armés palestiniens dans la bande de Gaza, ont annoncé l'armée israélienne et le ministre de la Défense Moshé Yaalon.

"Il apparaît une fois de plus que l'Iran continue à être le plus grand exportateur de terrorisme dans le monde", a déclaré M. Yaalon dans un communiqué, affirmant que "ces armes devaient parvenir à des organisations terroristes dans la bande de Gaza via le Soudan".

Selon le porte-parole de l'armée israélienne Peter Lerner, "lors d'une opération complexe et secrète de la marine israélienne aux premières heures ce matin, les forces israéliennes ont arraisonné dans les eaux internationales entre le Soudan et l'Erythrée un cargo qui transportait une cargaison d'armes iraniennes à destination de la bande de Gaza".

"L'équipage du navire, le Klos-C, qui battait pavillon panaméen, n'a pas opposé de résistance", a précisé le porte-parole, lors d'un point presse téléphonique.

"Des dizaines de missiles sol-sol M302 de fabrication syrienne ont notamment été trouvés. S'ils avaient atteint leur destination, ils auraient menacé des millions d'Israéliens", a-t-il ajouté.

En mars 2011, la marine israélienne avait arraisonné en Méditerranée le cargo Victoria, affirmant qu'il transportait des armes iraniennes vers la bande de Gaza. L'Iran avait catégoriquement démenti.
