Moreover, the IDF said that it marked the start of Germany building the next submarine, the Dakar, which is due to be delivered sometime in the next decade.
The Israeli navy announced on Tuesday the name of its six nuclear submarines, dubbed “the Dragon”, in a ceremony in Germany with the naval vessel expected to be delivered to Israel later in 2025.
Israeli nuclear submarines have the capability to be armed with nuclear weapons as well as to perform clandestine spying missions all over the world.
According to foreign sources, Israel has 80-200 nuclear weapons, including the ability to fire from submarines, which makes it nearly impossible to knock out all of Israel`s reported nuclear weapons in a first strike on its territory.
This virtually guarantees that Israel could counter-strike using nuclear weapons in the event that any adversary attempted a devastating blow against Israel.
