A new submarine for Israel: the great secret of the "INS Drakon"

The article reports on Germany's export of a new submarine, 'INS Drakon,' to Israel, highlighting the secrecy surrounding the deal. The Bundesregierung has issued an export permit worth approximately 480 million euros, matching the value of the submarine purchased by Israel from Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems in 2012. Despite previous denials from the government, internal documents suggest the permit was granted. The submarine is currently undergoing trials in the Kieler Förde, with extensive security measures in place, including covering parts of the vessel and blocking attempts to document its operations. A Facebook account was reportedly suspended for filming the submarine’s test runs.

Bias read (Center): While the article discusses a politically sensitive issue involving arms exports and national security, it presents information based on official documents and reports from multiple sources without overtly favoring any particular political stance. It highlights both government actions and criticisms
