Despite years of delay, the Defense Ministry on Thursday took another move to modernize the Israel Navy. It signed a NIS 2.8 billion deal to acquire five advanced Reshef missile ships from Israel Shipyards.
Expanding maritime capabilities
Israel Navy Cmdr. Maj.-Gen. David Saar Salama, Defense Ministry Deputy Director-General and head of the Defense Procurement Directorate Zeev Landau, and Israel Shipyards chairman Samy Katsav attended the Defense Ministry’s announcement.
The deal “represents an integration of security, economic, and industrial priorities,” Zamir said. “These new vessels will strengthen the Israel Navy’s expanding maritime capabilities. Manufacturing them locally in Israel will maintain and grow the nation’s exclusive strategic production line for combat vessels and enhance operational independence and continuity while securing hundreds of jobs in Israel.” Israel Shipyards was established in 1959 and is credited with being one of the first Western-affiliated countries to produce a fast attack missile boat, the Saar 4, which preceded the Saar 4.5.
