Was an Israeli F-35 Shot Down By Iranian Radar?
Analysts have been puzzled by the limited nature of Israel’s October 25/26 attack on Iran. Various theories have been presented. Certainly, the NSA intelligence leak of October 17 had an effect, forcing the Israelis to initially cancel the attack. They then proceeded with an alternative plan.
Now, anecdotal information from Israeli sources suggests that the F-35s flying fighter escort for the strike package found themselves locked by engagement radars over Iraqi airspace. That means the Russians and Iranians could have shot them down at long range. It might have been several hundred miles, at the edge of the capability of ROCKS ALBMs that Israel meant to use on the enemy radar sites. This was a shock to the Israelis. According to this theory, the Israelis were so unnerved that they launched their missiles, turned around, and went home
It also accounts for the sober expressions Netanyahu and Gallant wore in the Israeli command bunker. The senior Israeli officers around the table were wringing their hands and biting their nails.
Yes, they took out one plane, as a demonstration..
Can You imagine the scene at the israeli air force laundry dept when the rest returned back to occupied lands?
We are talking soiling extremis
We may speculate that if not already doing so then diaper wearing is now mandatory in all depts of "isreali" offence, not just ground troops for whom it has been in place for a number of years, the diaper in question being initially worn as "head gear" to disguise
realistically this may be why the "selection" turned in shabbos goy donny`s favour, be careful what ~You wish for...
Excellent news! I wouldn't doubt that Russian technology can lock onto planes. Do you remember when Russian planes knocked out an entire destroyer's technological capability in the Black Sea area years ago? The destroyer exited and exited quickly. They were completely dark and had nothing live--no radar, no access to defense, etc.
