Israel’s Peres: World-Leading UAV Program Means ‘Not All of the IDF’s and the Air Force’s Strength is Open to View’ | Jewish & Israel News Algemeiner.com.

( A hint about the “ace in the hole” that I believe is behind Netanyahu’s delaying the attack. – JW )

Israeli President Shimon Peres on Tuesday warned the world that Israeli’s technology, especially as reflected in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market, where Israel is a leader, allows the Jewish state to keep the extent of its military power under wraps.

Visiting the UAV program at the Palmachim Air Force Base, along with IDF Chief-of-Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz and GOC Air Force Maj.-Gen. Amir Eshel, President Peres said, “Not all of the IDF’s and the Air Force’s strength is open to view. Whoever derides us and seeks to harass us should take this into account.”

Peres said, “The Israeli Air Force is the best air force in the world; we have unique systems. The air force is equipped (with) the most advanced technology and – most importantly – with dedicated and qualitative human capital.”IDF Chief-of-Staff Lt.-Gen. Gantz said, “Israel has good reason to be proud of its Air Force… The Air Force is the main system for deterrence, offensive and defensive action, and has fantastic technological abilities as may be required of such a qualitative body.”

    You can bet on that, but it is the politics.

      Delaying to cover the Americans until the cost outweighs the benefit.

      Hard to understand for most just how critical the relationship with the US is for Israel.

      It takes something threatening our survival before we’ll ignore US policy.

        I understand very well the relationship whit the usa , read my earlier comments here.

        O i understand it now there is still no threatening for the survival of Israel at the moment.

        What is the fuzz than ?

        “It takes something threatening our survival before we’ll ignore US policy”. What could be more threatening than Iran with nukes promising to wipe Israel off the map? Asteroids?

        I have a different theory on the reason Israel waits until the very, very last minute. Sure they hoped by waiting past November that Romney would’ve been elected and do the fighting for them.

        But Israel also recognizes that we’ll be living in a changed world after the coming war. The longer they can hold off, the longer people can continue to live their normal lives.

    Should the diplomatic and economic measures fail, Israel must be ready to defend itself, by itself, he added.

    . We’ve learned in the past twenty how this regime knows how to cheat, to dupe, and mislead the West, despite decisions by the Security Council under the supervision of the IAEA.”

    Khamenei has been forced to make a few concessions in his nuclear program, but the Iranian intention is not to give up on the nuclear option, Ya’alon continued.

    Off topic, but yet… : Who is running the White House(read the US) ?

    Check out those amazing facts about a former WH official who was fired this week after tweeting in a critic and sometimes ”funny” fashion the WH ”culture” : http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/10/22/white-house-official-fired-for-tweeting-under-fake-name1.html

    Our attention was (magically) caught by this line : “I’m a fan of Obama, but his continuing reliance and dependence upon a vacuous cipher like Valerie Jarrett concerns me,” he once tweeted.(quoting).

    You see , you doesn’t have to work in the White House for understanding the fateful job Valerie Jarrett is doing there.
    We said that more than an year ago and before her name was pronounced on Fox, for the first time. This lady is running the WH and she is running the Obama couple, too. In fact, regarding those two, he keeps doing what she did before Obama became president.
    So, my learned colleagues and friends here, lets call the things by their names. Lets know the real president of the US. Not the front man. But the master puppeteer.

    Call me crazy, but why does Area 51 come to mind?

    • Luis's avatar Luis Says:

      In that Area, The US are working on fast fly machines, based on extra terrestrial technology and German research prior to WWII.
      The Germans built Die Glocke (The Bell) {Google}. After the war, big german scientists worked for the US, like Wernher Von Braun, the german father of the V-1 and V-2 rockets, who became, after the war, the director of NASA(!!). This captivating story is never ending, but we’ll stop it here. ”Captivated” readers may do a google research on the above points and enjoy a remarkable subject.
      A very good evening to us all.

    I don’t believe that this is the ‘ace in the hole’ for the simple reason that the ace has to be kept top secret until it is played.
    UAVs will play an important part in any Iran strike but the real ace will be revealed, if it is revealed at all, when it is played against Iran.
