Israel is really week, 50 tons is dangerous, swaying the balance, less than any normal Israeli, govermental brigade, troup, legion or whatever they are called have.

Luckily not even 50,000 instant tanks for the other part would make a difference, as it takes time
to practice.

I think you may be wrong. I have a tendency to think about things way sooner than other people do, but so far my batting average is very good.

Tb, when compared to the Arab countries, Israel still has only 5% of the people and 0.2% of the landmass. Superior deterrence is going to be cold comfort if anyone ever seriously gets off a first strike against them. Rational players may be deterred, but I think we've seen lately that the Mideast contains some irrational players.
