"Driven from the outmost motive, survival, Israeli Aerospace and Defence industry flourished and progressively become one of the most important industries globally."
Despite its small size and overwhelming political problems, and perhaps even because of them, Israel has succeeded in developing what can someone probably, describe as the most powerful military establishment in the Middle East. This superiority may be attributed to Israel’s huge advantage in skilled human resources and technology and, in up to a certain point, to the military support that it receives from the USA. The starting point for the metamorphosis off the Israel’s Aerospace and Defence industry infrastructure was the 1967 Six-Day War. During the war, France imposed an embargo on arms sales to Israel, including the Mirage planes already on order from the Dassault aircraft factory. As a result Israel started to develop its own industry capabilities. Driven from the outmost motive, survival, Israeli Aerospace and Defence industry flourished and progressively become one of the most important industries globally.
