IDF: Chief of the General Staff at the graduation ceremony of the 153rd Naval Officers Course: “In the ‘Hoshen’ multi-year plan, which is set to be implemented in the coming years, we have placed an emphasis on the maritime arena—an important and essential focus for ensuring our military superiority at sea for years to come. The INS Drakon is the first submarine to be incorporated under this plan, and it will be followed by additional advanced maritime capabilities, including Reshef-class missile ships, which will enable us to operate at greater ranges at sea, remain there for longer periods, and employ greater firepower capabilities, providing operational strength for years to come”. “At this very moment, in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea, the INS Drakon, the State of Israel’s sixth submarine, is making its way to Israel. In just a few days, it will enter the port where we are standing and, more than anything, symbolize the transformation our Navy has undergone over the past year, becoming a powerful strategic arm capable of reaching any threat in the Middle East and even beyond” Attached is the full speech of the Chief of the General Staff at the graduation ceremony of the 153rd Naval Officers Course: https://katzr.net/1c91af
