A | Israeli officials are planning to ask US President Joe Biden for his formal blessing to provide an Iron Beam laser-based air defense system to Gulf Arab states including the United Arab Emirates and possibly Saudi Arabia, Israel’s Channel 12 has reported.,The unsourced Hebrew-language report, cited by the Times of Israel, indicated the delivery of the system to the Gulf countries would assist with the US-led push to ramp up air defense cooperation between Tel Aviv and a loose regional coalition including Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.,The Jewish State does not have formal diplomatic relations with the latter two country, and Riyadh has repeatedly stated that it would not establish formal ties with Israel until the Palestinian question and the creation of a Palestinian state was settled.,On Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing US and Middle Eastern sources, that the Pentagon had organized a hush-hush meeting in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt in March to discuss ways to improve air defense cooperation against Iranian ballistic missiles and drones. The meeting was said to have been chaired by then-US Central Command chief Frank McKenzie, and attended by top military commanders from Israel and the Arab countries who were invited.,Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz, who announced the formation of a regional anti-Iranian air defense alliance last week, appeared to signal the veracity of WSJ’s reporting on Monday, saying Israel was “building” a “wide partnership with additional countries in the region to ensure a secure, stable and prosperous Middle East,” and that “among other things, this also includes aerial defense.”,Israel Creating 'Middle East Air Defense Alliance' Under US' Wing, Defense Minister Says20 June, 11:03 GMT,“We will strengthen this, as a stable Middle East is an international, regional and Israeli interest of the highest order,” Gantz said.,Iran’s military also appeared to issue an indirect response to WSJ’s report, with Armed Forces Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri warning Monday that Tehran “will not tolerate” the threats posed by Israel and its cooperation with CENTCOM, and “will definitely react to them.”,Israel has long touted the purported advanced capabilities of its so-called ‘Iron Beam’ laser-based air defense system, a prototype of which was unveiled last year. Earlier this month, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said the “game-changer” weapon would shift the balance in Israel’s favor, with the estimated $2 in electricity required per burst to intercept enemy rockets just a drop in the bucket compared to the tens of thousands of dollars a rocket might cost. Bennett expressed hope that the system would come online by 2023.,‘Iron Beam’: Israel’s New Laser Air Defence System ‘Will Bankrupt Enemies’, Bennett Says1 June, 11:44 GMT,Last week, Breaking Defense reported that Israel would ask Biden for more money Iron Beam’s development, on top of the $3.3 billion in annual US subsidies already received by the Israeli military and defense establishment. The outlet’s sources indicated that Israel will likely ask the US president to shell out about $300 million in additional cash.,“The relations between the US and Israel are solid. The issues that will be on the table during the visit are of utmost importance to both the US and Israel. I’m confident that the talks will be fruitful to both sides,” a senior defense source told the outlet.,During his trip to the Middle East next month, Biden is expected to tour an Israeli airbase and get a firsthand look at the prototype laser weapons being developed by Israeli defense giants Rafael and Elbit Systems.,Lasers for use against aircraft, missiles, drones, ships, and ground equipment have been on the drawing board of weapons developers since the Cold War, with engineers spending decades mulling over the prospects of replacing conventional missile and shell projectiles with the futuristic beam pulse. But energy-directed weapons have long faced what have previously been deemed unsolvable issues, such as the immense amounts of power required to operate them, as well as interaction between combat lasers and natural phenomena such as rain, fog, smog or dust, all of which dissipates their strength.,Last month, US weapons maker Raytheon reported that its own laser weapon, fitted aboard an Army Stryker vehicle, had successfully downed incoming mortar rounds in testing.,Raytheon Laser Weapon on Stryker Vehicle Succeeds at Shooting Down Incoming Mortar Shells19 May, 22:19 GMT。

在近几年国际地缘政治和疫情形势严峻的情况下,他谨代表蒙古国人民对该铁路如期通车表示“由衷的感谢和热烈的祝贺”。塔旺陶勒盖煤矿位于蒙古国南部,距中蒙边境直线距离约180公里,距我甘其毛都口岸约245公里,探明储量约15亿吨,预计储量超64亿吨,是蒙古最大煤矿,也是目前世界上尚未完全开发的最大露天焦煤矿之一,且品质十分优良。

据官方介绍,铁路链接塔旺陶勒盖煤矿和中蒙边境蒙方一侧的嘎舒苏海图口岸,全长233.6公里。塔旺陶勒盖煤矿出口能力有望大增、运输成本降至四分之一,预计可创造约2000个就业岗位。铁路开通将有助于蒙古对华以及经中国港口向第三国出口矿产的能力,将为日后开辟中蒙第二条铁路通道奠定基础。9月9日,塔旺陶勒盖煤矿(TT矿)至嘎舒苏海图口岸铁路正式开通。图自蒙古国总统网站(下同)据蒙通社和蒙古国总统网站报道,9月9日,在蒙古国总统呼日勒苏赫、总统办公厅主任索德巴特尔、交通运输发展部长宾巴朝格特、矿业与重工业部长钢巴特尔、经济发展部长呼日勒巴特尔以及多名议员、承建企业人员近千人的见证下,塔旺陶勒盖煤矿首列煤炭货运列车启动发往嘎舒苏海图口岸。“今天,你我共同见证塔旺陶勒盖煤矿至嘎舒苏海图口岸铁路开通这一历史性事件,我非常高兴”,在致辞中,呼日勒苏赫难掩激动之情,称赞这条“一流”铁路将成为蒙古国未来发展的催化剂。呼日勒苏赫表示,在近几年国际地缘政治和疫情形势严峻的情况下,他谨代表蒙古国人民对该铁路如期通车表示“由衷的感谢和热烈的祝贺”。

“这是一条蒙古国的发展之路、投资之路、机遇之路,也是通向未来的大门”,呼日勒苏赫说道。蒙古国总统在开通仪式致辞塔旺陶勒盖煤矿至嘎舒苏海图口岸铁路是蒙古国自主建设的重载铁路和一级铁路,该铁路主线全长233.6公里,设2个车站、6个道口、16座桥梁。据蒙通社和蒙古国官方数据,铁路通车后,蒙古国焦煤和动力煤年出口能力将从1000万吨,增加到3000万吨至5000万吨,煤炭出口收入将翻一番。同时,塔旺陶勒盖煤矿至嘎舒苏海图口岸的出口货物运输成本将降至四分之一,从47美元降至12美元。铁路还将创造新的工作和发展机遇,初步预测可创造约2000个固定工作岗位,为政府创造每年4400万美元的税收。此外,随着铁路开通,草场退化、扬尘、噪音、土壤和空气污染等生态破坏情况预计将减少74%。另据发改委网站8月消息,国家发展改革委与蒙古国财政部、交通运输发展部贯彻落实两国领导人共识和两国政府联合声明关于加快推进已商定的铁路口岸建设的要求,通过友好协商,签署了关于确认甘其毛都—嘎舒苏海图口岸跨境铁路接轨方案的谅解备忘录。备忘录的签署有利于加快推进蒙南向铁路与中方铁路接轨,对提升中蒙基础设施互联互通水平、深化产业与投资务实合作具有积极作用。人民网称,这将为开辟蒙中第二条铁路通道提供法律基础。塔旺陶勒盖煤矿(TT矿)至嘎舒苏海图口岸铁路的开通,将开辟中蒙第二条铁路通道实际上,蒙古国为塔旺陶勒盖煤矿(TT矿)至嘎舒苏海图口岸铁路的建设开通已筹备已久。由于地处内陆,蒙古国经济发展自然而然地需要与邻国建立战略连接和贸易口岸。截至目前,蒙古国与中国共有13个贸易口岸,主要出口煤炭、铁矿石和铜精矿。几十年来,蒙古国的出口依赖于前苏联的铁路系统和高速公路,大部分贸易量使用卡车运输。现在,由于基础设施的限制,蒙古国的出口能力发展不足。2018年8月,蒙古国政府发布第242号决议“关于加强塔旺陶勒盖煤矿至嘎舒苏海图口岸铁路项目的决议”,同时成立“塔旺陶勒盖铁路”有限责任公司,并确定项目实施方。根据该决议,相关公司和承建方需在四年内完成铁路的建设和运营。

除塔旺陶勒盖煤矿至嘎舒苏海图口岸铁路外,另两条铁路分别为:塔旺陶勒盖至宗巴彦铁路全长416.1公里,预计将在10月前完工,可增加1500万吨货物的运输能力;宗巴彦至杭吉铁路全长226公里,将抵达中蒙边境蒙方一侧的杭吉口岸,项目已在3月破土动工,目标出口量2000万吨。

美国《外交杂志》网站5月报道称,这三条铁路预计在今年年底前完工,将对商品市场产生巨大影响,让中国和俄罗斯能够向内陆寻找贸易机会,尤其是煤炭和金属等大宗商品——这将增加两国的能源安全,减少受到制裁压力的影响。来源|观察者网返回搜狐,查看更多责任编辑:Current article:http://92sna1.cengzaodengchawonin.cyou/list_yup/7ocr.html
