Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu welcomed the newest addition to the Israel Navy into Haifa Port on Tuesday - the INS Tanin submarine
The first of the navy’s second-generation Dolphin-class submarine, the Tanin uses air independent propulsion technology to stay submerged for longer than the three older Dolphin-class vessels.
"This event sends a crystal clear message to our enemies - the State of Israel is determined to face any threat any challenge at any time," Netanyahu vowed at the ceremony.
"In the face of mounting threats (from who?), we will firmly defend our borders on land with fences, in the air with domes, and at sea with submarines," he said.
Netanyahu said that, above all, Israel's fighting spirit and determination to defend the homeland would allow the country to deal with the threats at its borders.
A fifth submarine, the INS Rahav, is expected to arrive at Haifa Port in six to seven months, and a sixth submarine will join the fleet by the end of the decade.
Netanyahu welcomes new submarine This sends a clear message to our enemies
Who is attacking them again?? I think they are in planning stage. How nice of Germany to cut the price 1/3 for these subs. Scary stuff, a country with a fighting spirits, and all these weapons and a PM who believe in preemptive attacks.
I thought they said they wanted peace, but now he admits they have fighting spirits.
Who are their enemies, oh Iran.
