Occupation considers acquiring advanced US anti-submarine aircraft
The Israeli Defense Forces' Marine Corps is studying the purchase of the American P-8 Poseidon aircraft, which specializes in anti-submarine warfare. This would make it the first entity in the Middle East to own such an aircraft. The plane, built on a Boeing 737 chassis, is equipped with advanced systems for locating submarines and can carry torpedoes and anti-ship missiles. It has a cruising speed of approximately 850 kilometers per hour. In parallel with the increased activity of naval fleets in the Red Sea, Gulf, and Mediterranean over the past five years, Israel is considering expanding its submarine fleet, which currently includes six submarines. This comes as part of a strategic plan that may involve purchasing or replacing older submarines, with the plan expected to be presented to the General Staff by the end of the year.
