"Israel" Shops Warships to Protect Gas Fields

Local Editor

"Israel" seeks to protect the Tamar gas field that has just come online to supply the Zionist entity with natural gas.

According to "Israeli" agencies, the "Israel" Navy is hoping to invest up to $760 million in protection for the new natural gas fields, all of them located off shore deep in the Occupied Palestinian Sea.

On the list are up to four patrol class vessels, each weighing 1,200 tons and equipped with missile systems that can intercept ballistic missiles coming their way, or aimed at oil rigs.

"Long-endurance vessels are needed, because the area containing the gas fields, of which Tamar is only one, is actually wider and larger than "Israel" itself. The protection of these strategic assets requires increased resources and extensive preparations," noted the War Ministry in a statement.
One possibility is the remote-controlled robotic ship developed by Rafael Advanced Systems, which is armed with a missile system.

The "Israeli" navy also wants to purchase UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] that could detect and neutralize anti-ship missiles launched at the naval vessels, and divers intent on explosion missions.
