In the context of the comment he was replying to, and the allusion to "cultural differences" it doesn't seem to be just about technical proficiency. Otherwise, the second the part of his reply is meaningless, and the entire comment seems out of context.
- akiselev 13y agoLiving in a country where wars with immediate neighbors and rocket attacks are frequent over 10 year time spans, especially in one much smaller and more culturally diverse than the US (at least among relatively antagonistic cultures), sounds like enough of a "cultural difference" to give some engineers a more "us or them" lens on morality and drive them to passionately work on defense driven technologies. Combine that with a culture that prizes education and a government with access to NATO equipment and know-how (also makes trade in military tech the other way easier too) and it's not a surprise some SIGINT and defense equipment comes from Israeli companies.
