Yeah, before you say that... think about what a few thousand of these would do in Chinese hands to our Pacific Fleet. Remember, this is the Navy that sends ships to sea without basic certifications and with personnel who can’t see GIGANTIC MERCHANT VESSELS crawling along at under 10 knots on radar or with their Mk1 Eyeballs.

Now, imagine what would happen with our same Navy that comes steaming along in, oh, the Taiwan Strait about half an hour after a flotilla of Chinese missile boats unloads a few hundred of these things to stealthily loiter around the area. The flotilla leaves and is ‘clearly’ out of the area, but our ships get hit and possibly sunk anyway.

I will also remind you - the Israelis have a habit of selling their weapons tech to the highest bidder, so long as you aren’t an Arab country that wants to kill them, a supporter of said Arab countries, or otherwise anti-Israel.

And China has been quietly dumping billions into Israeli R&D companies...
