Gross propaganda, illustrative of our suicidal relationship with our "special friend"
The "Washington Free Beacon" has provided an absurdly inaccurate story about Israeli military 'innovations' (1) and, in the process, detail of an organization that constitutes a natioal security risk to the US.
The story, which is a review of a book entitled "The Art of Military Innovation" says "the story of Israel’s military innovations must not be forgotten."
Oh? Do tell.
"This is the country that made unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) a staple on every battlefield." A claim that is complete bullshit. As in so many things, that would be the US taxpayer funded US DOD. Example - "From October 1964 to April 1975, more than 1,000 AQM-34 Ryan Firebee UAVs flew in excess of 34,000 operational surveillance missions over Southeast Asia." (2)
And you probably thought drones were invented by those plucky neo Nazis we're supporting in the Ukraine.
"It’s //Israel// the country that developed the rear-engine Merkava tank that has forever changed armored warfare." Sorry, the Merkava tank's engine is in the front, and the rest of the world has, and continues to, put its' armored vehicle engines in the rear.
How 'bout this claim? "the Israelis developed the helmet-mounted display used in the F-35 multirole fighter" Really? No US prototypes before the Israelis, ahh, 'innovated'? Ooops, "In 1962, Hughes Aircraft Company revealed the Electrocular, a compact CRT, head-mounted monocular display that reflected a TV signal onto a transparent eyepiece." (3) Hughes - that's American, right?
Also - "the MiG-29 was fielded in 1985 with an HMD and a high off-boresight weapon (R-73), giving them an advantage in close maneuvering engagements." (ibid) MIG? Israeli? And, oh, yeah, there's probably a real good reason '80s era Russian aviation technology was popping up in Israel ... but that's another story about our "special friend" (quid pro quo for Israeli super spy, American traitor Pollard).
Later on the article explains that the US now has a give it all to Israel 'working group' "enshrined in American law".
Lovely. Instead of Israel having to pay off top Pentagon bureaucrats (think Melvin Paisley and "Ill Wind" (4), or prostitute our daughters to entrap them in blackmail (repeat after me ... Epstein hung himself (5)), the US taxpayer can now directly fund the transfer of US military technlogy to Israel for their own use - or, as with the joint US/Israeli LAVI fighter (6) and Patriot missile (7), Israel can provide 'em to PRC in exchange for ... whatever.
BUT Israel is our "special friend" you know.
CHICOM J-10 vs LAVI - not the same at all ....
At least the article was illuminating - after a fashion. I'll be skipping "Washington Free Beacon" now on.

UPDATE: 1/18/24 - Almost certainly there was something China wants that even Israel can't get for them under current 'black program' controls. Solution?
