The Israel military industries, now marking the 50th anniversary of their establishment in the pre-State days, have disclosed two of their latest products, both the result of local Israel research and development.
One is a 60-mm gun mounted on a swivel which can be attached to a standard armored personnel car- rier or other vehicle. The gun has a high muzzle velocity which its producers say enables it to put out of commission the heavy Soviet-made T-72 tanks now in use by the Syrians.
The other product is a multi-barrel Katyusha-like rocket launcher which can fire either 18 or 36 rockets simultaneously or in close sequence. The 160-mm rockets have a range of 30 kilometers. The multi-barrel launchers are at present intended only for export.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
