DECLASSIFIED!

This is coolbert:

Here with several items, demonstrative of Israeli technological prowess and know-how, technological prowess and know-how in both cases having a military dimension.

This from the Guardian, from documentation dated thirty-five years ago now - - recently uncovered!

1. "Revealed: how Israel offered to sell South Africa nuclear weapons".

"Exclusive: Secret apartheid-era papers give first official evidence of Israeli nuclear weapons"

"'top secret' minutes of meetings between senior officials from the two countries in 1975 show that South Africa's defence minister, PW Botha, asked for the warheads and Shimon Peres, then Israel's defence minister and now its president, responded by offering them 'in three sizes'. The two men also signed a broad-ranging agreement governing military ties between the two countries that included a clause declaring that 'the very existence of this agreement' was to remain secret"

NO LONGER secret, the current government in South African not hesitant to release info on the deliberations and negotiations as carried out by the previous apartheid regime.

The government of South Africa [1975], seeking to buy from Israel Jericho missiles, equipped in "three sizes". Those "three sizes" presumably referring to warheads of conventional, chemical/biological, or nuclear capability!!

I can easily understand the degree of mutual cooperation that would have existed between Israel and South Africa. The latter seeking advanced Israeli weaponry, and the former desirous of South African raw materials, most specifically yellow cake, "raw" uranium ore!!

And this thanks to YNet from only two days ago now. Another Israeli "spy" satellite placed into orbit. Most successfully too!

2. "Israel launches spy satellite".

"Israel boosts space presence: Ofek [Horizon] 9 satellite launched from central Israel Air Force base; security official says Jewish State now has several satellites operating simultaneously, thereby boosting results considerably"

Everyone is already aware that Israel has had for some time now an independent space capability? Place satellites into earth orbit for the purpose of strategic reconnaissance. "Spy" satellites, of their own devising! One of only several nations on the planet that has a space "mission" for its' military!!

ANY NATION ABLE TO PLACE A SATELLITE INTO EARTH ORBIT ALSO HAS THE POTENTIALITY FOR GLOBAL "REACH"! Able to place a warhead [atomic or otherwise] to any point on the planet at will!!

Israel is a nation, small in size, a population of only 6 million persons, but has an IMPRESSIVE TECHNOLOGICAL WHEREWITHAL AND THE MORAL IMPERATIVE TO DO WHAT IT FEELS IS NECESSARY FOR ITS' SURVIVAL!!

Yes indeed!!
