Israel ain't Taiwan. What tech do you think is indispensable there?

[-] scorpionix@feddit.de 14 points 11 months ago

Mostly software based tech. Israel is leading in the field of "legal" spyware for example.

You have a point there.

It's security software - firewalls, VPNs, that sort of thing. It's not that it's not available anywhere else, but the Israeli stuff was always considered among the best before this conflict kicked off.

It's also weapons. Many of which are sold as "battle tested" because they were tested in Palestine.

Bioscience and Military tech are also fields Isreali companies excel at.

I often hear of Bioscience "breakthroughs" from Israel which amount to nothing but hype.

What military tech apart from Iron Dome? (which protects against crappy home made rockets)

[-] livus@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago

Israel sells billions worth of weapons a year, sometimes to repressive regimes like the Myanmar junta.

It also innovates quite heavily in that space.

I have been noticing a number of doctors mentioning a new kind of burn on children in Gaza. Israel routinely deploys new weapons there, and this may well be a new example of testing experimental weapons in Gaza

search for Israeli Nobel prize winners.

and multiple countries want to have their hand on iron dome including Ukraine so where ur going with this?
