AIPAC Stresses IDF Role
With U.S. in Mediterranean
WASHINGTON — The
strength of the Israeli air
force and navy is an impor-
tant but often neglected
element of the balance of
power in the eastern
Mediterranean," according
to a new study released by
the American Israel Public
Affairs - Committee
(AIPAC).
Entitled "Israel and the
U.S. Navy," the study
examines various forms of
cooperation between Israeli
and American forces and
outlines the steps that could
be taken to allow Israel to
share more of the burden of
the common defense.
AIPAC reports that
Soviet capabilities in the
region have grown while
the ability of the United
States to commit resources
to the Mediterranean has
declined. At the same time,
Israel has emerged as the
most capable power in the
eastern part of the basin.
Moreover, Israel has an
inherent interest in ensur-
ing that the eastern
Mediterranean does not fall
under the control of Soviet-
allied forces.
The study goes on to
demonstrate that Israel has
the resources to present an
effective deterrent to Soviet
forces in the eastern
Mediterranean. Israeli air
and naval forces have im-
pressive capabilities to
challenge Soviet and
Soviet-allied ships and air-
craft operating in the zone
east of the Turkish Straits.
The Israeli air force can
generate 12 times as many
combat sorties as a U.S. car-
rier air wing, and 20 times
as many attack sorties.
Even if only 20 percent of
its resources were dedicated
to missions against Soviet
targets in a Mediterranean
crisis, the Israeli air force
would still be able to fly
more sorties than a two-
carrier U.S. task force
(twice what we have there
now) operating at a
maximum surge rate,
enough to sink the entire
Soviet surface fleet in the
Mediterranean in less than
four days.
AIPAC also reports that
the Israeli navy, although
comprised mainly of small
missile boats, has impres-
sive capabilities against
surface combatants.
