Israel is in shock. And Israelis feel they are in the crosshairs. The unexpected and brutal Hamas attack has sparked a war and put the country on high alert. The armed forces, the notorious Israel Defense Forces, are now working at full capacity. After a massive campaign of attacks by the air force, the army has launched a ground invasion of Gaza. But what is the Israel Defense Forces actually like? How have they been transforming and adapting to the different adversaries they have to face, and are they really prepared for what lies ahead?

Video was released 4 minutes ago and it's 22 minutes long, already bots commenting smh
I tried to post a moment ago; people want their opinions heard and commented on.
@@j.a.velarde5901 I wonder whether he realizes the thing is available all around the world. Hi from Nigeria 🇳🇬
How you managed to completely avoid any mention of the country having nukes is almost impressive, undoubtedly there existence played a role in the conclusion a conventional war is very unlikely.
Because it's still not declared and part of have nukes is letting people you have them in the frist place.
@@SEAZNDragon who doesn't know?
@@mrmr446 it’s also not gonna be just an issue of possession. There’s going to question about delivery method and planning around that.
@@SEAZNDragon in regards the conclusion that a conventional conflict is a remote possibility possession is enough
@@mrmr446 you still have to announce it not be coy on rather you got nukes are not.
but the Israeli navy today is the largest it's ever been. there are new submarines, and more missile cruisers (and larger ones) than the Israeli navy ever had.
Yet but in this unconventional battlefield I doubt it’s of that strategic value the us brought the hammer numerous times in its geopolitical fiascos and disasters and still it didn’t achieve any strategic objectives many times especially against hybrid forces and unconventional who have an unconventional military infrastructure command and control and staff structure flexible non centralized covert and highly effective for their strategy of hit and run strike with fear and terror then disappear if struck their structure can easily maintain its effect due to the fact it’s an idea and ideological based structure where volunteers and indoctrinated figures achieve their goals with pure loyalty and belief to their idea meaning the leaders aren’t important as portrayed as long as the idea keeps spreading through the remote cells operating
It's not completely accurate that the air force was downsized. It's still the IDF's main strategic arm. However, it's worth noting that in the past, Israel's enemies had air forces with similar technology and capabilities. Nowadays, countries like Syria and Iran are two or more generations of fighter plane behind Israel, so the whole concept of dogfighting is irrelevant. Other countries in the region, even those with large armies, are at least one generation behind. However, the same cannot necessarily be said about the ground forces, where some countries in the region also have advanced tech and large numbers.
the ballistic missile program is to offset the lagging of air force strength.
air superiority is bull sheet. usa wasn't able to establish it in vietnam because the soviets supplied sams to the việt cong.
@@khairulhelmihashim2510true but add to that a complex a2/ad program cyber and electromagnetic spectrum capabilities and loitered munition and unmanned platforms then you have the entire doctrine israel enemies are trying to offset their gaps in air power to me what’s more dangerous is if an hybrid force gets its hands in such technology and capabilities then it’s a really noteworthy fight
What are you trying to say? Do not make general statements that you do not understand...Iran and Syria are not even close in capability..Iran and Turkey are very advanced and well developed in certain areas of military technology and other general technologies... Syria is less capable but is not a basketcase....IDF mainly uses airforce or airpower to try to overwhelm people in Lebanon and Palestine and Syria but it really does not work..
@@MrTaloul air superiority really does not work unless it's against weakling like iraq
I don't know why people can't understand that supporting Hamas is not the same thing as supporting Palestine and this is coming from somebody who has been supporting Palestine since he was in the 8th grade
Its the same....Are Hamas not Palestinians?
Since the 8th grade you failed to understand that the palestinians matter not in this war. Most of palestinians might want peace and a state. The problem is that they decide nothing. Others decide for them and use their cause for other purposes. Just like the german people mattered not in ww2.
@@anthonyonyeka6501also, they were elected by Palestinians.
Canno support Palestine or any more Arab dictatorships (there are 22). Dysfunctional countries politically, economically, socially and morally. Hamas reconfirmed that another Arab state wpuld be a mistake. The West bankrolls manynof these failed states with only a few surviving sue to fossil fuel wealth. PLO, Hamas, PFLP, all the same terror, some religious, some secular, but all bad.
@@defaultsettings63israel supported Hamas in the elections as well to get rid of the old president so Israel supports Hamas
First of all, great video. As an Israeli it really made sense of a few things i wasnt even aware of. Thank you for that.
As for the conclusion, im afraid israel is haunted by short-term thinking due to its constant beed to adapt. Having a big war once every decade or so doesnt make you think long term unfortunately.
A rude correction , yahalom wasnt made specifically for the tunnels, its a specialized combat engineering unit that does many things and predates hamas. Also, Israel have decided to ditch destroyer boats back in the 60s because of various reasons, that decusion is unrelated to the gideon plan.
Its hard to imagine a scenario in the near future where isreal needs to fight a conventional war with a well equiped opponent. They arent facing any sorts of threats like that unless something dramatically changes the calculus in the region. And even then, the palace guard armies maintained by there neighbors are in a much worse position for fighting a conventional war than isreal is. So isreal's current strategy of focusing more on asymmetric threats is sound.
Well, if they reduce capability then even an army with only Soviet Era Equipment is a credible threat! Massive numbers is a class of its own after all!
@dreamingflurry2729 a massive army with soviet Era equipment can absolutely be a serious threat if it is supported logistically near to Isreal. But Isreal doesn't have anyone in their neighborhood with such an army that views them as an adversary.
Excellent analysis. One thing you forgot to mention is that morale amongst both soldiers and civilians in Israel is unprecedented. Hamas did something nobody thought possible after months of bitter divisions - unite the entire country.
We need that in the US. People are openly supporting Hamas by name. It's disgusting.
@@ngantnierwho exactly? Only people that come to mind are tankies.
@@Unprotected1232have you watched the news?
Nobody is openly supporting Hamas. Saying civilians shouldn’t be bombed is not a crazy statement
@@ngantnierpeople have been brainwashed. Por politicians risk paying dearly for playing with people's perceptions...
Netanyahu has said in several speeches since October 7 that the army would be larger and have a larger budget going forward. Previously, the main point of downsizing was to free up the budget, and it was hoped that the significant weakening of all potential threats would allow this. Now it's obvious that even the weakest threat can do a ton of damage if the army is not prepared to handle it.
True the doctorine of small army and relaying on high tech is over. The military service will comeback to be 3 years as well
@@500Prozacthe military service was always 3 years
For man atleast
No in the last 3 or 2 recurit years, they had 2.8 service. @@Chiefrocka.
Netanyahu did said this and I don't really take his words as granted. The same enemies we had before are going to stay in the same place, minus Hamas. Unless you want to do more with your Army, I don't see the reason to expand your army. Farther more, even if IDF become more offensive in his military action, Netanyahu is king of Stagnancy, is nature can't play risky and aggressive political move, he even doing it now.
05:00 Lebanon as well. Lebanon participated in the invasion of Israel in 1948, but they only attacked one village because they actually wanted to have peace with Israel but were compelled by other Arab states to join the war. What was the most pro-Israel community in Lebanon at the time? The Shi'a. They showered IDF soldiers with rice and cheered them when the latter staged a counter-attack. Iran and Hezbollah changed that, unfortunately; otherwise there would have been peace by now, given the reduced influence of the PLO and Sunnis in Lebanon. The Christians and Druze have always been relatively open to peace.
Nothing of that is spoken in the western media.
No My mom is Shia from south Lebanon. The reason Shias turned against Israel was because they were so indiscriminate in their killings that even people who shared enemies with Israel turned against them because they viewed goyim as non human and had zero regard for civilian life. Hezbollah only gained power because the Shia were getting screwed by the PLO which somehow became worse when the Israelis came and the Lebanese army was useless against both, leaving the Shias to fend for themselves. That is why nobody in Lebanon supports Israel even the Christians and Druze who share the same enemies of Israel.
You make me laught when you try to distort history...Israel as a state was forced on the populace in Palestine and they kicked out Arab Muslims christians and Jews and imported Zionist Jews from Germany and Russia and other foreign lands....There are no Malaysian Muslims in Palestine or christian Russians in Palestine...
Also don't pretend to understand the conflict..christians in Lebanon were slaughtered even more than Muslims by the Zionist Jews and you can research about the massacre in Lebanon and that is why new groups keep forming to fight Israel
But Hezbollah is shia. I dont understand your point.
The Geneva Convention needs an update.
You mean the Geneva Suggestion?
@@Mark-uh3un Geneva is always a suggestion because there is no International body that rules over States, in spite of what the United Nations would have you believe.
International Law in its entirety rests on the goodwill of States that sign treaties which is to say it is not Law at all because it is not judicially binding in the slightest. The closest we have gotten so far is the European Union.
That being said, the important aspect that needs urgent revision is the condition of "civilian".
In the case of Gaza, a State has informed civilians to leave a certain area which it now considers a war zone. Lets not even get into the fact that, every family that has decided to stay in Gaza - proper - has done so under the direct decision of the man of each household because it is wholly unlikely that women get any say in that matter.
Having been informed of this and knowing that in staying they provide umbrella protection to a military that willfully uses said protection in its favor. And that moreoever, will undermine every safehaven provided to said civilians within said warzone.
Then it is a moral necessity that the country that operates in said warzone after providing a forewarning be excused of any accusation of war crimes against civilians anytime the loss of civilian life occurs within the above stated conditions, that is, a fair warning was issued about a geographies warzone status, and sufficient time be provided for said evacuation, that lastly any collaboration of a civilian with a military entity places the civilian on par with a military agent making them thusly a target.
The below does not apply to internationally recognized agents such as journalists, and United Nations envoys , etc.
This is my take on the matter of the revision. What do you, or anyone else for thst matter thinks?
i wonder when britain starts to try to solve the problem they created....
The UK is not relevant enough internationally to be a significant factor in solving anything to do with middle east, moving forward its decline will only increase. Hell given demographics the UK is more likely to be fighting a group like Hamas on its own shores by the end of the century.
Jordan?
Dont worry all this troubles are not long to get to the UK and even more countries in Europe
Why no self responsibility of arabs. I get it someone did you dirty but like how about you get with the times and move on? Arabs have more oil than anybody and yet keep complaining? Like go to school get a job and live your life people need to stop living in the past while people in the now get richer
I guess they would prefer it that way. The masses stay poor stupid and angry about things they cant change
While the rich see opportunities in the scenarios provided today
No sense in dwelling in the past when you can make money on the future
Unless your already rich… than carry on!
They did, the Arabs just rejected it in favour of war.
Excellent, well balanced and factually correct video
05:35 It wasn't 2011, the paradigm changed in 1987 with the "Intifada". That's when the IDF's focus changed on urban warfare and CQB. Syria had ceased to be a threat in 1982, when Israel destroyed their air force without losses and this basically ended the chance of conventional war between the two countries.
tochnit gideon wasn't officially policy until 2015 though also.
@@HesderOlehGideon isn't a policy, but a 5-year plan. It's more of a formality, where the Israel MoD decided to codify its existing policy in a plan.
@@Ynhockey I was tempted to write תר"ש גדעון , an organisation as large as the IDF is hard to reform and change. I can't remember what the tochnit rav shantit was when I was in the army, but so much time was spent on planning around it.
The shortening of service was only quite recent and is still in progress, so it is hard to point to a when change happened without referring to specific events such as official documented changes in policy.
I think Oct 7th showed a lot, and that if the IDF is going to keep reducing its troops and reserves, then they'll have less trained people, so they need to make a defense program that trains civilians, and then also allow civilians to carry guns. If not, they will just be more vulnerable because they'll have a smaller military and then also less people that are capable of defending the country in a war.
they have lost 45 soldiers while gaza is a parking lot.
There are already reversals on these policies. Israel is returning the initial regular mandatory service for men back to three years, and will be investimg more in ground forces buildup
And remember that the population of Israel rise in great pace so the numbers of soldiers can remain high even when it becomes less in percentages of the population
Thats already going to change now , They are going to increase the size of the regular Army and not rely on Reserves anymore
@@noahsalonicchio2221not really if Israel experiences heavy enough loses they’ll lose Morale
You didn't even mention that Israel has nuclear weapons. That, by itself, makes any neighboring country with strange ideas ponder twice before planning on having "a conventional war" with Israel. Until they too have nuclear weapons. What to what end an with what benefits? Syria perhaps could claim the Golan Height but "Syria" is almost a thing of the past, who knows when will be a unified country again. Jordan barely can deal with itself, a war is unthinkable. Iran should have to cross two countries to try to invade, what would be impractical... etc.
Thus, Israel move to a more realistic problem seemed more efficient. Another thing that you seem to forget is that Israel is quite adaptable; it's not like they could transform from one day to another but they can certainly change its doctrine if need be.
Because Israel basically is a warrior country, if there is such thing around the world, as even their women do the draft. Yes, they have some achiles heels; Israeli Arabs don't have to serve (though they can, voluntarily) Haredi Jews either (yet some of them do, again, voluntarily) and these groups grow larger related to the general population. But all in all, they must have one of the most trained (for war) population in the world.
Israel is a warrior country? Its more of a startup nation thats well armed becuase of circumctences i guess

@@caseychaffin5445 We can't let the caliphate or another fascist ideology dominate the region
@caseychaffin5445 Well Palestine has pretty much dug their own grave at this point so it seems highly likely that the West will intervene.
Only thing because their politicians have been bought,
Or threatened.
Israel owns the West, so that wouldn't surprise me.
How again is Israel "Not enforcing apartheid" ?!?!?
Has anyone thought that brute strength might not be the answer?
How many more have been radicalised with the current operation? How will the surviving children react when they grow up?
would you ask the same question about nazis in WW2? bombing Hamburg or Dresden?
New doctrines showed a successful infiltration into Gaza after 7/10.
A big war is not prepared for since Jordan is weak and dependant on our water supply, and Egypt is dependant on our gas supply.
We are dealing with different threats like Hezbollah and Iran. With the first being handled pretty well currently, and as for the latter, I hope this is why we purchased these submarines which you forgot to mention.
Don't be so sure one of the neighbouring strongmen won't decide to join in, or be coerced into joining in. The Middle East is not a place of rational decision-making.
In one Week, IDF change is whole Doctrines? No, IDF know and train in this offensive doctrine, but never utilize it on battlefield, mostly because the politician.
@@omerro11 there are no neighboring strongmen, every country around israel is weak and has its own problems

But the us army COIN methods isn’t that effective so far is it ?
Super plus good presentation of the current state of affairs. Thoughts, Hmmm....
Failure rate being zero. Future event will have a lot to say about it.
The Israeli conscript army has 179,000 soldiers not what you indicate
depending on a zero failure rate is the most unsustainable military doctrine.
All true. This doctrine is now on hevay reconsideration.

Adapt or die as they say.
Real good one!
Really enjoying your videos of Israel. Haven't seen many videos that seek to explain the complex contexts objectively.
Does anyone k ow what happened to the other host?
Another great Analasys I would recommend is done by Perun, goes in all the nitty-gritty details that are only vaguely mentioned here.
Israel, a tiny nation with big balls
A tiny nation with unlimited US tax dollars*
Without the us MIC and our tax dollars they don’t have shit. Thy are only powerful because of us.
Big balls are an easy target
It scares me that you don't mention Egypt 🇪🇬 😢
This war is for Gaza's hundred billion dollars of offshore oil and gas reserves, been signed just 2 months back between Israeli government and BP for excavation on just 30 KM Gaza offshore, even Italy's ENI also got in another contract for excavation on same project!!!; the reason why both the country's prime minister first to respond and give full support for Israel; of course Israeli intilligents knows this going to happened that's the reason for late response !!!
I worry that America has been doing the same thing. Ukraine was a wakeup call for many militaries around the world, or in Germany's case, an elbow in the night to make them roll over and go back to sleep. Israel needs to be very wary of her neighbors. Their ultimate goal is her distruction.
If that day comes, the end times described in the koran will be mushroom shaped... Their enemies know that fully well.
Believe me, I would be surprised if Israel would survive in the next 10 years. The adversaries they face today are no longer sheepherders, but battle-hardened and well-trained with modern technologies.
@@Airmee palace armies and terrorists. Not enough pal.

Sure...
History has often proven that smaller countries are easier to invade.
In Israel's case, not really true because of the terrain.
The same could be said for Japan. While they may look easy to invade, it's an island country, meaning you would have to establish a solid foothold and have the logistics to gradually wear the enemy down.
Israel's greatest advantage is that they are well trained and well disciplined, and have training, equipment and funding from NATO and the UN.
A foriegn power could not hope to invade them without warranting some kind of response from their allies.
Funding from Nato and the useless UN? No mate thats not true only the US invest in the IDF
Not to mention their robust domestic military industrial complex
Yet they are struggling against an enemy that is using makeshift firearms and explosives. Go argue.
@kingbaxter1945 which is the case for any military. If you actually have a solution for that rather than making dumb obvious statements then the US Department of Defense has quite a lot of money to give you.
@@kingbaxter1945how are they struggling against Hamas? They are taking Gaza easily so far
The questions is how Israel did not know of this attach - you can't rely on AI, you need eys and ears on the ground and they are making a bad choice - everyone should serve in the army etc and everyone should be armed to stop these attacks again in the future
Yes
I see your wall and raised you ONE artillery-piece! Seriously, bunkers help, but static defenses alone - especially if it is only a wall - will not slow a tank or artillery down much!
Not accurate. Israel has a lot of special forces that trained to deal with terrorist organizations and prepared for asymmetric warfare
Such a western video lol.. the walls are for defense, yet they have illlegal settlements outside those very walls
No they don't
Israelis are warriors.They will fight and survive.
It not a bad strategy but without rapid response its not able to do what is intention to do
"Is not to isolate the Palestinians but to isolate Israel from the Palestinians" 🤦 you seriously cannot be that slow.
You know what I think: It don't matter what I think.
Now consider the RCS size is only small for the golfbal on the front side. Entering deep into enemy territory would involve being scanned from a 360 degree on all axis. Where the RCS is far bigger and with networking an easy target. And without a high top speed you can run it down with a bycicle.
This is the Middle East. If a terrorist organisation attacks a national government, the usual rate of exchange ranges somewhere between 10x and 100x. So if the PKK detonates a bomb in Ankara killing 10 people, the Turkish government will retaliate and kill between 100 and 1000 Kurds [soldiers or civilians, doesn't matter - see Assad in Syria, Saudi in Yemen, etc., etc.) .... Any government that fails to do this is regarded as weak and vulnerable and not "respected" (adequately feared)..... Israel knows this so Hamas' attack killed about 1500 people and this will cost somewhere between 15,000 and 150,000 Palastinian lives.... And Hamas' leaders knew this when they started to plan this operation and they didn't care...
The single greatest downside of recent changes in IDF force structure is the Egyptian threat.
Egypt has a big army but nowhere near as experienced, well-trained, or high-tech as Israel’s. Plus Egypt is going bankrupt and can’t even beat ISIS in Sinai without Israeli help.
Egypt seems pretty friendly with Isreal and they both hate Hamas albeit for different reasons. So long as the Muslim Brotherhood doesn't take over Egypt isn't a threat. They've been helping Isreal for years around Gaza. Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, turkey, and syria are all more serious concerns for Isreal.
@@horstnietzsche1923 Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon all actively threaten Israel, but not existentially. Additionally, Israel has often misunderstood it's threats, creating a situation in which actively threatening Israel may actually assist Israel threat assessment.
Turkey is less of a direct military threat at this point, and I agree that if it does become a direct military threat it would be a much more serious one.
Egypt has been building massive military infrastructure and forces aimed at Israel for decades, including naval capabilities and military channel crossings through the Suez capable of facilitating a large scale maneuver. In this light, Egyptian peace may turn out to be not only an intermediary benefit but also detrimental a successful invasion.
To my mind, the Gideon project - along with dwindling military presence in the Negev (as seen in the October 7th attack) - confirms the Egyptian threat by showing how Israel under-prioritises a potential conflict that Egypt has been building-up for.
@@JIMA-Club Plus Egyptian population is huge (113 million); could be very problematic for Israel if relations ever sour.

For the stated goals given by the IDF the tactics don't work, other countries have faced the same problems and don't use the same approach.
For example?
@@natedubin8944 Do you think Israel is the only country to ever face armed militants? Many have fought terrorist groups without using artillery.
The only Arab state with a really serious army is Egypt. They have large forces who are well trained. They also have around 1,000 Abrams main battle tanks and those tanks are very lethal indeed. If they decided to get involved, then the battle calculus would become very different indeed.
There's no way to end this war. What UN do or say about this.

You do see the contradiction in your intro right ... a militia (the Jewish resistance movement) fought with England in WW1 & WW2 is suddenly fighting against England because their interests suddenly didn't align.

I think his history is pretty good. But you're right to see the contradictions. British officer (and Christian Zionist) Ord Wingate is still revered today in Israel for his major part in building the Mandate-era force that evolved into the IDF. British officer Sir John Bagot Glubb was primarily responsible for building (and leading!) the Transjordanian Arab Legion that was by far Israel's most competent enemy in its 1948 war of independence. To further explore Britain's complex role, you might be interested to read Oren Kessler's new book "Palestine 1936".
contradiction?
1. WW1, the resistance fight (Actually it was more some of group, others groups also help the Ottoman) among the British as they would help build National Homeland for the Jews (Balfour Declaration).
2. Between Wars, the resistances group fought the British, because they didn't really want to build National Homeland and restrict/prevent Jews immigrate to British Palestine (Notorious White Book).
3. In WW2, the resistances groups (One group remain against Britain even WWII) fought with the British Hitler want to wipe the whole Jews and helping the British may help them in the future.
4. After WW2, , the resistances group fought the British, because they didn't really want to build National Homeland and restrict/prevent Jews immigrate to British Palestine.
I’m sure that the other countries in the region have seen what
will happen to their Russian made armaments should they decide to
suddenly become foolish….

Little thing here. But why do you always call Israel, "The Hebrew State". That's incorrect, Israel itself refers to itself as the Jewish State. Hebrew is a language, Jewish is an ethnicity and religion. Small but important distinction. Also, Tel-Aviv is not Israel's Capital, Jerusalem is. It's important to acknowledge what city a nation designates its Capital City as it speaks to their domestic political landscape.
My mom and I used to argue about this and “Jewish” is not an ethnicity. Ashkenazic, Sephardic (that’s me), Mizrahi, etc, are ethnicities of the Jewish religion. Even though I’m unsure if it is regarded as grammatically correct, many of us also use “Hebrew” as an ethnonym. I know “Jewish” is so casually used to describe ethnicity but typically only where exact ethnic origins are unknown.
@@funDAYsmiling Jewish people are largely considered an ethnoreligious group, which could probably be attributed to the fact that Judaism is a mostly non-proselytizing religion whose growth has come almost entirely from the Jewish ethnic group itself with relatively few converts.
You are wrong about Israeli navy destroyers. You need to review the new Corvettes 4.5, 5 and 6. These are large missile boats with protection systems against Hezb missiles including Barak 8 and Barak MX. These ships protect Israel's coasts and offshore natural gas rigs.

Now do a video from a Palestinian-civilian point of view .
Why is the wall deep into Palestinian land in the westbank? For security? Or for land grab…?
Ironically, Netanyahu was both a savior and a destroyer. He and Trump arranged the Abraham Accord, and Israel, along with many non-streamist Arab countries, realized that the best security comes from international trade. Maintaining and updating a large army drains capital that could otherwise be used for development and improving living standards. This is probably the reason Hamas attacked just now; Israel and Saudi Arabia were close to signing a deal.

What the Arabs are seeking both Muslims and Christian Arabs is that the palestinian get a citizenship even an israeli one, the arabs want to integrate with Israel and the Israelies know that, so no need for big armies, now the question is do the israeliws want to integrate with their neighbours and accept Arab palestinians both Muslim and chrestian to have a nationality?
I think they’ve tried about 8 times for a two state solution, each time to be rebuffed by the Arabs…
Conservative religious Jewish Israelis have higher birthrates and tend to be more insular than their more liberal secular Jewish counterparts, so Israel is trending towards a less tolerant population when it comes to integrating with its Muslim and Christian populations.

Yeah that is sad, Historically Arabs whether Muslim Christians Or jews were always hospitable and welcoming of the European jews through out history.
Integration was a hope for European jews to be able to survive in peace.
You know I was watching a Rabbi on tv once, one of the netenyahu policy advocates of ethnic cleansing palestinians.
He said "we looked down on the Greeks the Romans and all the empires and we are still there"
After the Arab culture immerged there was a safe haven for jews, lets say now that the american empire like all other empires went down, the jewish people will look down on the American empire as they did to the British empire. where will they go then why they didnt think few steps ahead and lived with Arabs make Palestine switzerland with multi languages a the state language, Christians and muslims can live together. then it was going to be a forever home, no fear of empires falling or rising.
It not a matter of Israel being prepped for the wrong attack. Warfare is a race. If you get a better shield your enemy will design a better sword build a wall and your enemy will make a bow and arrow make better armor and your enemy can use a different attack to deal with it. No matter what defense a nation comes up with it will eventually be overcome by a new technology out tactic. So no matter what Israel does it’ll always give time for its enemies to adapt. That’s why I’m war you cannot be on the defensive forever. Going on the offensive I think as bad as it is, is the only move Israel has because no matter what Mrs great defensive technology Israel comes up with eventually its enemies will find a way to overcome them. I don’t feel that a sense projects fear either it buys time because it slows down an attacker
Don't worry, Israel will adapt and learn from these events.
As for Israel Losing is not an option..
Imagine an armored vehicle with a weapon that points downwards and sweeps below with lethal gamma rays. Or worse?
Gamma rays are very high frequency radiation. They carry a lot of energy but have very little penetration capability. That type of radiation dissipates within a few tens of centimeters. It’s lethal on the surface, but ineffective for underground targets.
@CanisLupusSteparium Thanks. That's why I added "Or worse?" If it's good enough for Star Trek to have different rays every few weeks, then I can have a death ray produced by Unobtainium in this thought experiment. LoL
What if? They clearly ainght Not without the US and 90% loss of its suport.
Apa ini ? What happened?
Nothing that was said in this video is true. The number of tanks has NOT been reduced by 75%! The Airforce has NOT been reduced by 50% [of fighter jets] the Army is NOT 40,000 man (active duty) the reserves are NOT 150,000 or whatever he said.
Didnt they lose in Lebanon
No we didn't
Yes they did.
why the fuck would they need destroyers for
Israel also knows that in case of a war involving air attrition its best ally The U.S has its back so no need for a large airforce...same goes for the navy.
With support maybe but not involved directly unless US attacked directly in the middle east
this assumption is not correct.
Then Europe will come to Israel's aid..!

IDF ( israel defence force ) is not IOF (israel offensive force)
And well trapped retaliation offensive in un aspected war . And became threats for its survival . After aspected lost of war there will begin a war of as survival .
then Israel would be in a small war, if in a war, or actually sometimes even in a big war
takes time to build ships train men get tanks and guns war doesnt always give you that time. seems insanly risky seriosly would any other country in the middle east think no that other country at my border would never attack me no leadership change or ideology change seriosly have to question the inteligence there.
One group works all day together tending the olive trees, picking olives, and selling them in the market. The social glue that holds this group together is marked by trust and reciprocal empathy that makes up for all sorts of shortcomings. The other group comprises of individuals sitting in front of the computer, working on algorithm codes, and occasionally getting together over coffee. Here the main connection is the similarity in personal economic accomplishments.
The concept of closing the disruptive socio-intelligent gap puts some perspective on the challenges involved in finding a modus vivendi in an environment ridden with conflicts.
What you are indicating right now is the problem all societies face. The ones in front of computers are wealthy but not happy (they live sad) , the ones who tend the trees are poor but happy (they die happy). Some how if a balance between those has to be established.
It is a complex socio-intellectual issue that I wrote a paper about. I am not sure that it can ever be solved. @@venaist
Thank you, that is exactly what is bothering me. @@venaist
Wow its very inaccurate. First the way you described the air force and navy is completely wrong, the air force is still the most badgeted force on military and is on continues preparation for an air strike on lraninan nueclear facilities since 2010, according to israeli air commanders. Secondly the most important par of the israeli navy is air and missiles defence like the sea dome which is an iron dome deployed on ships like Sahar 6. Along with a lot of new submarines that the navy is buying, this is not the strategy. And for the last, the tanks force is still huge and can is sutable exactly to the golan hights to fight syrians, or iranians.
The explanation os, that the gideon plan is suited for fighting and defending from the Palestinians in gaza and the west bank, and is mainly about infantry, while the rest of the army is still prepared for mainly iranian forces or a revolution in one of the arab countries. (Which every one of the functioning of them is relaying on american weapons)
Isn't killing of thousand of childrens by Israel brutal too? This analysis is totally biaised
"unexpected Hamas attack", you are kidding right?
Yeah was unexpected
How can a small country be so militarily advanced, even more than the US on some tech? How and when did Jewish Hebrews became so smart and expert on this aspect?
Israel has very strong middle class with a lot of scientists. Particularly from USSR a lot. More brains, more technologies.
2:13 you lost me at “Israel declared its independance”. You’re biased my brother :)
Yall are too bias towards Izzy like they’re not invaders or the products of invaders.
Your omitting that Israel funded Hamas first.
Was Palestine ever an independent state?
What happened to the 'Is Israel An Apartheid State' video?
They paid him or threatened him.
U know
Its not...
Isreal owns the US, so they probably threatened TH-cam to shadowban it.
