Po neúspěšném jednání s USA o prodeji stfel Tomahawk do Izraele přikročila společnost Israel Military Industries (IMI) k vývoji vlastní řízené střely s plochou dráhou letu Delilah 2 odpalované ze zemé. Původní střela Delilah byla vyvinuta v 80. letech jako bezpilotní elektronický rušič vypouštěný z pozemního zařízení, který měl umožnit snadnější proniknutí izraelských bojových letounů nad cíl. Delilah byla později v 90. letech modifikována do ofensivního leteckého zbraňového systému srovnatelného s americkými střelami s plochou drahou letu AGM-86. Střelami byly vyzbrojeny izraelské letouny F-16D Fal-con a modernizované F-4E-2000 Kurnass. Nová pozemní varianta střely označená Delilah 2 má podobné charakteristiky, tzn. vysokou podzvukovou rychlost, dlouhý dolet a vysokou přesností zásahu v cíli. Je vybavena dopředným infračerveným resp. elekt-rooptickým snímačem, který umožňuje identifikování pozemního cíle na vzdálenost do 16 km, navedení střely na něj a ničení jak stacionárního, tak i pohyblivého cíle.

Focke-Wulf FW-190 D

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D, better known to its contemporaries as the Langnasen Dora (Long-nose Dora), was the finest project created by Kurt Tank's design team to see service in numbers. It duly capitalized on all their previous experience in building high-performance fighters.The D-9, the aircraft's most popular variant, was first flown on 7th September 1944. Soon it made its presence felt both on the western and eastern fronts. A total of some 700 machines (sources vary) were assembled in Focke-Wulf plant at Cottbus, as well as by Arado and Fieseler contractors, by the end of the war. The D-9 powered by Jumo 213A-1 engine was practically the only variant to see serial production.The later D-11, D-12 and D-13 variants, powered by Jumo 213F-1 engines, were approved for production in March 1945, and only a few were delivered. D-12S dirndrnent was one engine-mounted 30-mm MK 108 cannon and two 20-mm MG 151s in the wing roots.The D-13 differed from the D-12 by having a 20 mm engine-mounted MG 151 cannon in place of the 30 mm MK 108 unit. If only handled with skill, the Dora was a formidable opponent, capable of outrunning and outmanoeuvring any allied fighter it was pitted against.

German Tactical Doctrine

The personal influence of the commander upon his troops is of the greatest significance. He must be located where he can most effectively lead. On the march he should be as far forward as security permits, and his location should be definitely known by the members of his staff so that all reports may reach him promptly. In the attack his command post should be located as far forward as possible, yet protected from hostile fire so as to insure undisturbed operation; for tactical reasons, the post is placed near the main effort, facilitating control at the most important point of the battlefield. The movement of the command post is influenced by the location of existing wire lines, and the divisional signal officer is kept constantly informed so that communication requirements may be better anticipated. In a delaying action, the commander remains in the forward position until lie is convinced that his order for withdrawal is being successfully carried out; then, with Iiis artillery commander, he goes back to the new position. In very difficult or dangerous situations, often present while withdrawals are being executed, the commander will remain with his troops.
