Israel’s newest boats, Dolphin Class Submarines are modified Type 209 U-Boats…and are diesel electric, as were all earlier classes of Israeli submarines…the photo provided by YWN is of a Yankee II Class, Soviet era nuclear powered ballistic missile sub.

Israel doesn’t admit to having any nuclear submarines, and if they had one, they would have had to make it themselves secretly (and it isn’t all that easy to hide a shipyard).

If Israel is paying for the submarine, they should either learn to build them in Israel (which would have a long term economic benefit) or buy them from someone else.

I sure hope Netanyahu is not going to let himself be blackmailed by GERMANY of all horrible places! Neither the US president nor Germany have the right to tell a sovereign country where and how many houses they may build, and it is high time Israel told that to the world!

The Germans? I don’t think they get a “say”. Not for another six million years or so.

‘another nuclear submarine’

Since when are ANY of Israel’s submarines ‘nuclear’?? All of the subs Germany’s sold to Israel so far are diesel/electric, and I certainly don’t think this 6th one was going to be any different
