So in that respect, if I were Israel, I wouldn't be too confident in brandishing my nukes around. Because once you use it, you are in effect a walking corpse.
Damn, I have a headache coming on. There's a hell of a lot of rethink to do.

Not sure I believe the Iranian CEP claim but it creates a very real threat Israel cannot ignore.

If and when the time comes, you mate the warhead to your missiles and then strike back. There's only one reason why you would want to ship nukes on the DOLPHINs and that is to avoid a Russian first strike on Israeli nuclear assets. Frankly at that point, the DOLPHINs would have been nuked before they left port.

Originally posted by Officer of Engineers View PostHitesh, the Israelis may have started out thinking the Arabs as the enemy but strategic thinkers cannot ignore that Israel only have one nuclear opponent and one Israel has no chance of even making blink twice - Russia. Getting a headache yet?
What I am referring to is the Muslim world and the solidarity of the Muslim world. I have no doubt in mind that once Israel nukes a Muslim city, all Muslims would put aside their differences, including the Saudis and Iranians and go after Israel in a bloodlust something which US cannot stop even with all its might. The Muslim world already has a nuclear Islamic power - Pakistan.
Look at the requirements for taking out Israel with nukes. It is not that much as compared to taking out the entire Muslim world. The bloodlust would fan for decades and Israel do not have that kind of staying power and neither does US.
Russia would act as the check against US retaliation for retaliation against Israel. Russia won't retaliate against Israel but will step in to stop US just because US is its main adversary. Sort of like Nixon stopping USSR from bombing China even though China was no friend to US since Korean War.

Originally posted by Blademaster View PostDo you honestly think that Russia would launch nukes against Israel? After all, Israel is part of US protection. No way Russia would not hesitate or blink before striking against Israel. Russia doesn't even have the capability or resources to monitor Israel especially when it has other things on its plate to worry about.
Why would you need DOLPHINs with nukes? Who in the area could threaten the Israeli nuclear forces?
