I recently wrote that the Israeli army is among the ten best armies in the world.

Especially impressive is the amount of weapons that it owns: the Israeli army has 243 combat aircraft, 4 thousand tanks, 10 thousand armored troop carriers, 300 artillery pieces, 3 frigates and 6 submarines. Military of any army has first-hand knowledge that is not enough to possess weapons; it is important to keep it in working condition, otherwise the same can happen what has happened to the Ukrainian – it will just fall apart.

Israeli Army and Air Force in particular constantly suffers due to the lack of new equipment – to serve this armada is not an easy task. Therefore, they have learned to adapt, refine and upgrade the existing equipment. It is faster and cheaper than to build a new technique. As I said earlier, thanks to this approach, in many ways, the Israelis have become world leaders in the technological modernization of equipment. All the software, that is used when upgrading, is also made in Israel.

For example, such giants as Boeing or Lockheed actively use the experience of the Israeli developers to maintain their aircraft. Such updated planes often work better than new, because all their “filling” is ultra-modern.

And “icing on the cake” is that the maintenance of a large number of completely different vessels require the same large number of spare parts. If each of them was made “by the rules”, it would take a few months and would require engagement of the developers of each aircraft and to make the missing element in the factory. Instead, Israeli engineers simply make the desired parts. In the central part of Israel at Tel Nof Airbase scientists use 3D-camera for the construction of the model of any necessary part. They just load data into the printer and a few hours later they receive the exact item, necessary to ensure the operability of the aircraft. Elementary. That is, not only the Israeli army is served this way, but also this technology brings a lot of money. I do not know what you think, but in my opinion we need two of these machines and urgently.
