[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Egypt is apparently interested in upgrading its aging submarine fleet, though officials regard it as strange that Cairo is looking to buy exactly the same submarine that Israel operates. [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Israel currently operates three Dolphin-class submarines made in Germany. The construction of two more submarines - ordered following the Second Lebanon War in 2006 - is scheduled to be completed by 2010. [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']According to foreign media reports, Israel's submarines are capable of launching a "second strike" in the event of a nuclear attack against Israel. [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']The Dolphin-class submarines are the most expensive platforms in the IDF's arsenal. Germany donated the first two submarines to Israel as a gift after the first Gulf War, and split the cost of the third. [/font]

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']The three submarines in the Israeli fleet work on a diesel-electric propulsion system that requires them to surface after relatively short periods underwater to recharge the batteries that keep them running when submerged.

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']The two Israeli submarines under construction will be fitted with a new German technology that combines a conventional system of a diesel generator with a lead acid battery, and an air-independent propulsion (AIP) system, used for silent slow cruising, with a fuel cell equipped with oxygen and hydrogen storage.

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Defense officials said they were concerned by Egypt's request to purchase the German submarines. [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Egypt's navy has a larger fleet than Israel, including a number of large frigates and four Soviet-made Romeo-class submarines. [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Likud MK Yuval Steinitz, a former chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, said that if the deal went through, the balance of power in the Middle East would be affected. [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']With the new submarines, Egypt would be able to covertly collect intelligence against Israel, he said. [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']"The Egyptian fleet is already three times bigger than the Israeli fleet except for one platform - submarines - which we both have approximately the same number of, although ours are clearly more advanced and efficient," he said. "If such a deal takes place, this will have a real impact on the sea power in the Mediterranean." [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Steinitz said the German Dolphin-class submarine was one of the best in the world and would give the Egyptians the ability to close major ports and sea routes. [/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']"It is also almost impossible to prevent an attack from a submarine," he said. [/font]
