Man, this video was intense!! Except the constant whining of Americans and Indians in the comments of why India doesn't have a dedicated Marine Corps and should form a new one, just to participate in these exercise!!

Image reveals Shayetet-13's submarine hangar
A photo published in several Israeli news outlets (e.g. dailystar) may reveal one previously unreported capability. The photo, of an Israeli Navy Dolphin Class submarine, was apparently taken on Tuesday Sept. 29, 2020. On its aft casing, behind the sail, is a special forces hangar.


The hangar is very similar to the Italian-built Deep Guardian Shelter. Israel has a long-standing connection to Italian special forces and their suppliers. This includes CABI Cattaneo who build the Deep Guardian shelter. So it is likely that this hangar was built by them, although this has not been confirmed.

The hangar is approximately 1.5 meters (5 ft) in diameter. This is generally typical of containers for special forces equipment. Payloads might include inflatable boats (with outboard engines) and diver propulsion vehicles (DPVs). It is likely too small for a full-sized Swimmer Delivery Vehicle (SDV).

Damn!! China has both Amphibious Assault Infantry Units in PLA Ground Force and dedicated Marine Corps Units in PLA Navy.
I think only other country to have dedicated Marine Amphibious Infantry Units in both Army and Navy is France!!

Italy's amphibious ready force is made up of the Navy's San Marco Marine Regt and the Army's Lagunari Regt.
