The INS Drakon, Israel's newest and largest submarine, has arrived after a 23-day journey from Germany. The submarine carries secret technology and is powered by a system that allows it to stay underwater for longer periods.
According to the Jerusalem Post, the submarine's longer length enables it to carry a higher quality and quantity of weapons, as well as improved electrical and oxygen system capabilities. This allows it to remain at sea for a longer period of time.
The submarine's capabilities could support missions in far-away places, according to Rear-Admiral Guy Levy, the number two officer in the navy, who mentioned Iran and Yemen as examples.
