~this is a very intresting read as it mentions that Israel also carries Nukes on its Subs in case Israel suffers a catastrophic attack.~
Israel has ordered two German submarines to counter long-range threats such as Iran, which it fears is seeking atomic weapons.
Israeli security sources said on Monday that Tel Aviv had signed the deal to buy the new Dolphin-class submarines at a discounted price of some $325
million each after Berlin agreed to accept payment over 10 years.
They said despite deep cuts foreseen for Israel's defence budget, military chiefs decided that the submarines were needed to counter long-range
threats.
