ACE Assault Rifle 7.62x39mm – same caliber but more advanced weapon

Israel
Weapons Industries (IWI) knows that some armies want new advanced
assault rifles but often are reluctant to change the ammunition. This is
the reason for the development of an ACE version of its assault rifle
that uses 7.62 ammunition. I-HLS reports

Israel receives surplus CH-53s for spares

Five
surplus US military Sikorsky CH-53 transport helicopters purchased for
use as spares have arrived in Israel. The acquisition was made because
the Israeli air force is working to keep its fleet of CH-53s flying.

The
aircraft were this year transported by truck from Arizona (below) to
Houston, where they were loaded on to a cargo ship. Now in Israel, they
have been transferred to the air force's 22 maintenance unit at Tel Nof
air base, where they will be cannibalised as needed.

Selected by
Israeli specialists, the five heavy transport helicopters involved in
the deal are accompanied by a number of engines, tails, rotor blades and
other items that had been removed from ex-US example




The
Israeli air force's original plan was to continue operating its roughly
23 CH-53s until it could acquire Sikorsky's new-generation CH-53K, now
in development for the US Marine Corps. A possible alternative approach
has been proposed by Boeing, however, with the company suggesting last
year that its CH-47 Chinook could be made available to the service via a
private finance initiative deal where a third party would purchase
aircraft and supply flight hours.

Les
missiles équipés de Spice sont lancés depuis une zone sûre à plus de 60
km de distance et se dirigent de manière autonome et programmée vers leurs cibles.
Spice échappe au brouillage électronique et dispose d’un système
intelligent de correction de trajectoire. Il s’agit d’un kit qui
s’adapte sur différents types de bombes (comme les MK83/ Blu 110 d’1/2
tonne) ou missiles largués indifféremment depuis des F15, des F16, des
F18 etc. L’écart circulaire probable est de moins de 3 mètres…
