AP- Ainimumnimmill11111110- 11111 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 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.
