Israeli Nuclear Arsenal

Israel follows a policy of deliberate nuclear ambiguity, neither confirming nor denying the existence of nuclear weapons, though it is widely believed to possess a robust nuclear arsenal. Its strategic deterrence relies on land, sea, and air-based delivery systems, ensuring a credible second-strike capability. This nuclear deterrent is considered essential for Israel’s survival in a volatile region.

The Jericho III is believed to be Israel’s most powerful ballistic missile, with an estimated range of over 5,000 km. Capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads, it provides Israel with global strike capabilities. Its advanced accuracy and rapid launch capability make it a key component of Israel’s nuclear deterrence.

The Popeye Turbo is a long-range cruise missile, speculated to be nuclear-capable, and can be launched from submarines. With its ability to evade enemy defenses and deliver high-precision strikes, it strengthens Israel’s second-strike capability. This missile system ensures that Israel can retaliate in case of a nuclear attack, reinforcing its deterrence posture.
