Israel’s goal of establishing an “administration” has a lot to do with Tehran’s program and cooperation with Russia.
The Israeli Air Force has announced the creation of its own Space Force, or “Space Administration. “At present very little is known about the structure, which will be commanded by an officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel and whose purpose is to read about “how Israel can use the area for purposes that cannot be specified,” in the interchangeable form of descriptions that are sometimes the subject of Israeli army censorship.
The broad outlines of the program’s evolution are similar to those of the United States, which created its own area force in 2019. The area program was once the duty of the Air Force, as an air and area arm. Some Israeli analysts have commented that the new branch makes more headlines than substance. But army planners also noted that, despite its role, the Air Force has not made the area an operational focus or vital source, and the new task force appears to be a restructuring to make a certain area no longer neglected.
But now the military says space will be a long-term battleground, but against whom and with what capabilities?
Israel has been an area force for more than 30 years: it launched its first satellite in 1988 and many more since. In the following years, it showed offensive area functions, demonstrating in 2015 the ability of the Arrow 3 missile to intercept a target. in the area – a maximum capability that can serve smoothly as an anti-satellite weapon such as those promoted in the United States, Russia and China. However, these functions were not sufficient to justify the creation of a new area command structure.
But in the past, Israel’s adversaries posed no risk to the area or to Israel’s orbital and satellite communications infrastructure. recent catastrophic failures. Tehran has effectively introduced its own satellites into modified ballistic missiles, and this complex missile program poses an existential risk to Israel, one that requires area-capable interceptors like the Arrow 3 to counter.
But it’s no longer just a matter of regional threats: The U. S. is not just a matter of regional threats. The US, China and Russia have their own diversification of area forces, and Russia has entered into a strategic partnership with Iran over the war in Syria. Space technologies, but will also force Israel to seek tactics to counter Russian space threats that could be provided through Moscow.
Israel’s long-term will be one with more area threats than the country it faced in the afterlife, meaning that area technologies can no longer be overlooked through the Air Force or passed over to the Defense Ministry’s MAPAT progress and studies wing. Instead, a detailed area defense policy will have to be inked, and that means a new command design in a position to invest in it.
