Easily got those Egyptian Romeos beat. Those things just rot at the pier. Got Iran's three Kilos beat, they lack digital sonar among other things basic to a modern submarine. Against Turkey it might be intresting, Turkey has lots of submarines but they are mostly older boats (Type 209s from the 1970s and 1980's) Libya's one remaining sub is not much of a threat anymore. I guess that leaves us with Algeria who has two somewhat nice Project 636 Kilo boats and Pakistan who has some modern-ish Agosta 90B submarines; those are the closest to Israel's submarines in terms of capabilities.
