“Yeah, or we could invent it our own selves.”
I’m quite amazed at the technical ability of the Israelis, simply because the talent pool (population-wise) is so small. The israeli population is only 7.5 million, and some among this population (israeli arabs) do not even contribute to israeli defense. How does tiny Israel come up with enough engineers and scientists to pull off all of their technical wizardry?
An old Israeli professor who had been part of the OFEK project said it very well after they demonstrated an amazing miniaturization of satellite technology. He said because Israel is so small, they have become the masters of small.
Israel does everything as if their very survival depends on it...because it does.
