Ketika negara-negara anggota NATO mengumumkan bahwa mereka mengirim senjata modern ke Ukraina, senjata buatan Israel juga sedang dalam perjalanan, bahkan ketika Yerusalem berjalan dengan tali diplomatik setelah invasi Rusia ke negara Eropa.

Pada Minggu malam, Belanda mengumumkan bahwa mereka akan mengirim 50 sistem senjata anti-tank Panzerfaust 3 dengan 400 roket dan 200 rudal anti-pesawat Stinger. Amsterdam juga akan memasok 100 senapan sniper dan 3.000 amunisi tambahan.

Situs web Pengakuan Angkatan Darat mengatakan bahwa semua peralatan dan senjata militer akan diangkut ke negara Eropa Timur oleh pesawat angkut C-17 Amerika, yang berangkat dari pangkalan udara Eindhoven dan sekali di darat, akan diangkut melalui jalan darat ke Ukraina.

Panzerfaust 3 adalah granat berpeluncur roket portabel yang dapat menembus 900 mm (35 inci) armor baja atau 700 mm armor reaktif eksplosif dan menghancurkan tank seperti T-72 dan T-80 Soviet.

Diproduksi oleh Dinamit Nobel Pertahanan Jerman, anak perusahaan dari Sistem Pertahanan Rafael Advanced Israel, senjata anti-tank Panzerfaust 3-IT diperkirakan akan tiba di Ukraina untuk mengisi kembali dan meningkatkan stok senjata yang mampu menghancurkan baju besi Rusia.

Sebuah senjata anti-tank sekali pakai, Panzerfaust memiliki jangkauan tempur yang efektif dari 300 meter (984 kaki) terhadap target bergerak dan hingga 600 meter terhadap target statis.

Dioperasikan oleh seorang prajurit tunggal, dapat digunakan untuk melawan tank, kendaraan lapis baja, emplacements yang diperkuat dan bunker ringan. Pesawat stasioner juga dapat dipukul dengan itu.

Sementara Rafael Advanced Defense Systems dan Kementerian Pertahanan Israel tidak berkomentar, Kanselir Jerman Olaf Scholz mengatakan pada hari Sabtu bahwa ia telah memberi wewenang kepada Belanda untuk mengirim Ukraina peralatan militer.

Jerman tidak perlu meminta persetujuan Israel untuk mentransfer senjata karena pabrik di Burbach hanya diakuisisi oleh Rafael pada tahun 2004, dan Berlin telah membiayai pengembangan senjata sejak pertama kali diperkenalkan pada tahun 1973.

Dalam perubahan kebijakan lama, pemerintah Jerman mengatakan pada hari Sabtu, "Invasi Rusia ke Ukraina menandai titik balik. Ini mengancam seluruh tatanan pasca-perang kita. Dalam situasi ini, adalah tugas kita untuk melakukan yang terbaik untuk mendukung Ukraina dalam mempertahankan diri terhadap tentara invasi Vladimir Putin. Jerman berdiri di sisi Ukraina."

Tunduk pada meningkatnya kritik, pemerintah Jerman terpaksa meninggalkan praktiknya karena tidak mengizinkan transfer senjata mematikan ke zona konflik.

Dengan perubahan kebijakan tersebut, Jerman akan mengirim 1.000 senjata anti-tank serta 500 sistem pertahanan anti-pesawat Stinger buatan AS ke Ukraina. Stinger man-portable air-defense system (MANPAD) mampu menghancurkan target terbang tingkat rendah seperti helikopter, UAV, pesawat terbang dan rudal jelajah pada jarak hingga 4.800 meter (sekitar tiga mil).

Israel telah berusaha untuk mencapai keseimbangan antara Rusia dan Ukraina, dan pada Minggu malam Perdana Menteri Naftali Bennett dikatakan telah menolak untuk menjual senjata setelah ia ditanya oleh Presiden Ukraina Volodymyr Zelensky.

Menurut siaran publik KAN, ketika Zelensky meminta bantuan militer, Bennett menanggapi dengan "kesopanan diplomatik."

Yerusalem di masa lalu telah menghentikan Amerika Serikat dari menjual Ukraina sistem pertahanan rudal Iron Dome dalam upaya untuk mempertahankan hubungan dekatnya dengan Rusia, yang merupakan pemain kunci di Suriah di mana IDF melakukan serangan udara terhadap target Iran dan Hizbullah.

Israel telah menjual sistem senjata senilai miliaran dolar ke negara-negara Eropa Timur yang takut akan agresi Rusia sejak mencaplok Semenanjung Krimea pada tahun 2014. Pada tahun 2021, ekspor pertahanan Israel mencapai $ 8,3 miliar, dengan 30% t pergi ke Eropa.

Penjualan termasuk rudal, roket, sistem pertahanan udara, komunikasi, drone, sistem intelijen, radar dan sistem peringatan dini, amunisi dan persenjataan, pesawat berawak, avionik, pengamatan dan elektro-optik.

Rafael juga telah menjual rudal elektro-optik SPIKE generasi ke-5 kepada 18 anggota Uni Eropa dan NATO, yang dapat mentransfer senjata ke Ukraina jika diberi lampu hijau dari Yerusalem.

Rudal ini mampu menembus 39 inci baju besi, dan dapat dioperasikan baik dalam serangan langsung atau navigasi mid-course berdasarkan koordinat target saja. Mode ini memungkinkan kekalahan target tersembunyi jarak jauh dengan presisi yang tepat, penilaian kerusakan, dan perolehan kecerdasan real-time.

Dengan kemampuan non-line-of-sight, ia memiliki jangkauan hingga 32 km (20 mil) dan dapat ditembakkan dari kendaraan, helikopter, kapal dan peluncur darat. Ini memiliki pencari elektro-optik canggih yang mencakup kemampuan pelacak target cerdas dengan fitur kecerdasan buatan, meningkatkan mematikannya.

Dirancang terhadap target modern baru dengan karakteristik tanda tangan dan sensitif waktu yang rendah, rudal ini juga mencakup peningkatan alokasi target pihak ketiga baru (networked-enabled) dengan perakitan unit pengukuran inersia tertanam yang memungkinkan rudal ditembakkan ke koordinat target grid termasuk armor canggih dan sistem perlindungan, menjadikannya satu-satunya rudal di dunia dengan kemampuan ini.

As NATO member states announce that they are shipping modern weapons to Ukraine, Israeli-made weapons are also on their way, even as Jerusalem walks a diplomatic tightrope following Russia’s invasion of the European nation.

On Sunday evening, the Netherlands announced that it would send 50 Panzerfaust 3 anti-tank weapon systems with 400 rockets and 200 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles. Amsterdam will also supply 100 sniper rifles and 3,000 additional munitions.

The Army Recognition website said that all the military equipment and weapons will be transported to an Eastern European country by American C-17 transport aircraft, which departed from Eindhoven airbase and once on the ground, will be transported by road to Ukraine.

The Panzerfaust 3 is a man-portable rocket-propelled grenade that can penetrate 900 mm. (35 inches) of steel armor or 700 mm. of explosive reactive armor and destroy tanks such as the Soviet T-72 and T-80.

Manufactured by Germany’s Dynamit Nobel Defense, a subsidiary of Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense System, the Panzerfaust 3-IT anti-tank weapon is expected to arrive in Ukraine to replenish and boost the stockpiles of weapons able to destroy Russian armor.

A disposable anti-tank weapon, the Panzerfaust has an effective combat range of 300 meters (984 feet) against moving targets and up to 600 meters against static targets.

Operated by a single soldier, it can be used against tanks, armored vehicles, reinforced emplacements and light bunkers. Stationary aircraft can also be struck with it.

While Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel’s Defense Ministry had no comment, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Saturday that he had authorized the Netherlands to send Ukraine the military equipment.

Germany did not need to ask for Israel’s approval to transfer the weapons because the plant in Burbach was only acquired by Rafael in 2004, and Berlin had been financing the development of the weapon since it was first introduced in 1973.

In a change of a longstanding policy, the German government said on Saturday, “The Russian invasion of Ukraine marks a turning point. It threatens our entire post-war order. In this situation, it is our duty to do our utmost to support Ukraine in defending itself against Vladimir Putin’s invading army. Germany stands closely by Ukraine’s side.”

SUBJECT TO rising criticism, the German government was forced to abandon its practice of not permitting the transfer of lethal weapons to conflict zones.

With the policy shift, Germany will send 1,000 anti-tank weapons as well as 500 US-made Stinger anti-aircraft defense systems to Ukraine. The Stinger man-portable air-defense system (MANPAD) is able to destroy low-level flying targets such as helicopters, UAVs, aircraft and cruise missiles at a range of up to 4,800 meters (approximately three miles).

Israel has been trying to strike a balance between Russia and Ukraine, and on Sunday night Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is said to have declined to sell weapons after he was asked by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

According to KAN public broadcasting, when Zelensky asked for military assistance, Bennett responded with “diplomatic politeness.”

Jerusalem has in the past stopped the United States from selling Ukraine the Iron Dome missile-defense system in an attempt to preserve its close ties with Russia, which is a key player in Syria where the IDF is carrying out airstrikes against Iranian and Hezbollah targets.

Israel has sold billions of dollars’ worth of weapons systems to Eastern European countries fearing Russian aggression since it annexed the Crimean Peninsula in 2014. In 2021, Israel’s defense exports reached $8.3 billion, with 30%t going to Europe.

The sales included missiles, rockets, air defense systems, communications, drones, intelligence systems, radar and early warning systems, ammunition and armament, manned aircraft, avionics, observation and electro-optics.

Rafael has also sold the SPIKE 5th generation, precise electro-optical missile to 18 European Union and NATO members, who can transfer the weapon to Ukraine if given the green light from Jerusalem.

The missile is capable of penetrating 39 inches of armor, and can be operated in either a direct attack or mid-course navigation based on target coordinates only. These modes enable the defeat of long-range hidden targets with pinpoint precision, damage assessment, and the obtaining of real-time intelligence.

With non-line-of-sight capabilities, it has a range of up to 32 km. (20 miles) and can be fired from vehicles, helicopters, ships and ground launchers. It has advanced electro-optic seekers that include the capabilities of a smart target tracker with artificial intelligence features, increasing its lethality.

Designed against new modern targets with a low signature and time-sensitive characteristics, the missile also includes new third-party target allocation (networked-enabled) enhancement with an embedded inertial measurement unit assembly that allows the missiles to be fired to grid target coordinates including advanced armor and protection systems, making it one of the only missiles in the world with this capability.

Protes yang sedang berlangsung di Hong Kong telah mencapai "titik puncak" dan Singapura menyaksikan perkembangan "dengan keprihatinan". - The ongoing protests in Hong Kong have reached a “breaking point” and Singapore is watching the developments “with concern”, said Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing on Monday (Nov 18). “Unless calm is restored, dialogue commences and constructive actions taken, there will be grave doubts about Hong Kong's future and the sustainability of its current governance model,” said Mr Chan in his comments to reporters at The Treasury. Hong Kong has been rocked by months of unprecedented protests, which started initially from opposition to a controversial extradition Bill, but later evolved into a wider movement calling for democratic reforms and a halt to sliding freedoms under Chinese rule. Clashes between protesters and police have turned increasingly violent, with schools emerging as the new battleground in recent days. “We watch with concern the deterioration of the situation in Hong Kong. This is especially so for those of us with relatives in Hong Kong,” said Mr Chan. He added that Hong Kong's continued success as an economic and financial hub is important for the region and the world, including Singapore. “We wish Hong Kong the very best and sincerely hope that the situation will improve soon,” he said.FOUR LESSONS FOR SINGAPOREMr Chan cautioned that what has happened in Hong Kong can “easily happen” to Singapore if the country is complacent. He also explained four lessons that Singapore can draw from the recent uncertainties in Hong Kong. The first is to have a well-functioning political system, which works closely with the public service to anticipate challenges, execute policies well, resolve problems and improve people's lives. “Regardless of political systems and party interests, the exercise of leadership must be to put people’s and country’s interests foremost,” the minister said. Feedback channels will also be required to enable responsive and responsible governance, he added. “Only with a well-functioning political system, the right political culture and a well-oiled feedback-to-action mechanism can we make adjustments to policies as necessary, execute decisively and communicate effectively.” “Today, too many governments and societies are too focused on the immediate and domestic, without sufficient considerations for the future or external.” As an example, he cited how the access to affordable housing and essential services is fundamental to keeping society stable. “The transfer of land ownership and properties across generations cannot be at the expense of depriving future generations’ opportunities to be rewarded based on hard work and capabilities. It cannot be that those who are rich first will be rich forever without due effort.” Mr Chan noted how there have been suggestions for Singapore to include land sales proceeds in the Budget and allow private developers land bank for longer periods so as to complete projects. “Our rules put national developments, especially public housing, as priority,” he elaborated. “We are careful to not distort incentives for Government to use land sales to maximise profits. Otherwise, it is the public that will ultimately pay. We are also careful to not let private developers’ interest override wider public interest. “Revenue from long-term land sales goes into our reserves to benefit future generations. This is the discipline we adhere to,” he said. Mr Chan then moved on to the third lesson on social cohesion and conflict resolution. “Unity amidst diversity requires all parties to bear in mind the wider good of the country, while championing the respective wants of specific communities. “To insist on maximal individual gains, at the expense of the common and collective good, cannot be the Singapore way,” he said. The “Singapore way” also includes dialogue and constructive actions, instead of violence, when it comes to resolving problems. Mr Chan stressed that conflict resolution requires all parties to take actions that are responsible and constructive. Singaporeans are also ultimately responsible for our their future. “Regardless of what others say, we must bear the responsibilities and consequences of our own choices and actions. This is why we are against foreign interference in domestic politics,” he said. Lastly, the minister noted that it is never easy for small city-states to survive and thrive without a conventional hinterland for supplies, markets and opportunities. “Singapore will have to pick up the pieces ourselves should things go badly wrong,” he said. Therefore, Singapore's continued relevance to the world is “never a given” and the country must continue to work hard, distinguish itself and stay exceptional amid global uncertainties. This includes growing opportunities for local enterprises and workers, as well as providing value to regional and global geo-strategic affairs with principled perspectives and clear-eyed analysis of the challenges and opportunities, among others.

SINGAPURA: Protes yang sedang berlangsung di Hong Kong telah mencapai "titik puncak" dan Singapura menyaksikan perkembangan "dengan keprihatinan", kata Menteri Perdagangan dan Industri Chan Chun Sing, Senin (18 November).  "Jika ketenangan tidak dipulihkan, dialog akan dimulai dan tindakan konstruktif telah diambil, akan ada keraguan besar tentang masa depan Hong Kong dan keberlanjutan model pemerintahan saat ini," kata Mr Chan dalam komentarnya kepada wartawan di The Treasury.  Hong Kong telah diguncang oleh berbulan-bulan protes yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya, yang dimulai awalnya dari oposisi ke RUU ekstradisi yang kontroversial, tetapi kemudian berkembang menjadi gerakan yang lebih luas yang menyerukan reformasi demokratis dan penghentian kebebasan geser di bawah kekuasaan Tiongkok.  Bentrokan antara pemrotes dan polisi semakin berubah menjadi kekerasan, dengan sekolah-sekolah muncul sebagai medan pertempuran baru dalam beberapa hari ...
