Barney min5/28/2023 ![]() When the Israeli ships closed the range, they fired five Gabriel missiles, sinking one Komar and the Osa immediately and damaging the second Komar. The Syrian missile boats fired their Styx missiles at long range, but as the missiles approached, the Israelis employed electronic countermeasures and launched chaff rockets to successfully decoy the missiles. At about 2330, the Syrians launched eight to twelve Styx missiles at the Israeli formation, which subsequently disappeared from the Syrian radar. In the meantime, three patrolling Syrian missile boats from off Bans were vectored northwest to attack the Israeli formation of seven radar contacts (three chaff clouds and four helicopters). The Israeli force turned East South Eastwards, and the helicopters climbed high so as to be detected by the shore radar at Lakatia. At 23:30, the Israelis made contact with two Syrian Komar-class and one Osa-class missile boats. As they headed toward the shore, the Israeli ships engaged a 560-ton Syrian T43-class minesweeper and also sank it, this time using four Gabriel anti-ship missiles. ![]() But before any reinforcements could be sent, at 22:28 hours the Israelis encountered the Syrian K-123 torpedo boat which was attacked using Gabriel SSMs and sunk by 76 mm gunfire from Mivtach and Hanit. The Israeli missile boats were detected by a patrolling Syrian torpedo boat and this detection was reported to the base. In the western column were the missile boats Miznak (Blast), Ga'ash (Storm), and Hanit (Spear) the eastern column was composed of the missile boats Mivtach (Reliance) and Reshef (Spark). ![]() The four Israeli Navy Sa'ar 3-class and one Sa'ar 4-class missile boats headed towards the Syrian port of Latakia in two parallel columns. The helicopters were to be used for surface surveillance, EW, and gun spotting and as decoys. The aim of the strike force was to carry out missile and gun attacks on the Syrian port. The helicopters had ESM, chaff, and mechanical–electronic echo enhancement equipment. For this, the Israelis sent five missile boats and two landing ships with four helicopters. The Israeli missile boats return to their base in Haifa following the battleĪt the beginning of the 1973 war, the Israeli Navy carried out a raid against the Syrian port of Latakia. The Syrian missile boats were equipped with Soviet manufactured P-15 Termit ( NATO reporting name: SS-N-2 Styx) anti-ship missiles with twice the range of the Israeli Gabriel anti-ship missiles. Background Īt the outset of hostilities, the Israeli Navy set out to destroy the naval capabilities of the Syrians, who were equipped with Soviet Komar-class and Osa-class missile boats. It was the first naval battle in history to see combat between surface-to-surface missile-equipped missile boats and the use of electronic deception. These artists challenge the established art historical lexicon of form, matter, and structure unearthing a shared language of human embodiment articulated through dance, performance, painting and sculpture.īarney, Schneemann, Shiraga and Tanaka each express, in their varied approaches, a personal philosophy of dynamic corporeality, staging the physical body as a vehicle for what philosopher Pierre-Felix Guattari calls, in his 1984 homage to Tanaka-“a thither side of the outline called Story a body without organs.The Battle of Latakia ( Arabic: معركة اللاذقية Hebrew: קרב לטקיה) was a small but revolutionary naval action of the Yom Kippur War, fought on 7 October 1973 between Israel and Syria. In dialogue with one another, the exhibited works guide us through a history of the body’s impulse to create. Fergus McCaffrey is honored to present Matthew Barney, Carolee Schneemann, Kazuo Shiraga, and Min Tanaka, opening at the gallery’s Tokyo location on Thursday, October 15, 2020.Įxhibiting together for the first time, this presentation of visionary artists seeks to prompt cross-generational insights, from East to West, into the physicality that underscores the act of art-making.
