After Israeli missile strike on Syria confirmed by both sides, the question remains – how did Israel's non-stealth jets infiltrate Syrian airspace undetected? US aerospace experts tell Aviation Week magazine that Israel used new US-developed technology that lets users invade and manipulate enemy communication networks.
After Syrian President Bashar Assad admitted that Israeli planes carried out a missile strike in Syria and after the media blackout on the incident was lifted in Israel, many unanswered questions still remain regarding how IAF jets managed to infiltrate Syrian security.
An article published this week on the aerospace magazine Aviation Week & Space Technology's website offers the theory of experts in the field on how the Israeli F15 and F16 jets – which are not stealth fighters – managed to evade detection by Syrian air defense radar.
US aerospace industry and former US Air Force officials told Aviation Week's Senior Military Editor David A. Fulghum that Israel must have used "a technology like the US-developed 'Suter' airborne network attack system".
The cutting-edge technology allows users to invade enemy communication networks, to "see what enemy sensors see and even take over as systems administrator so sensors can be manipulated into positions so that approaching aircraft can't be seen", experts said.
In effect, the technology infiltrates and tricks enemy sensors by "directing data streams into them that can include false targets and misleading messages algorithms that allow a number of activities including control," the article explains.
The US system was recently tested successfully in operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, officials told Aviation Week.

otoh, can you trust Russia?
Then again, Israeli electronics are pretty good..
Ambiguity can be a defense.
ping as usual
This is another reason we CAN NOT let Senator Hillary Clinton into the White House: She and her corrupt husband will sell this technology to the Russians, Chinese and Iranians about two hours after being sworn in!!
i.e. They fed it a virus.
I hope the target they hit was worth exposing the capability.
I hope they are sh*tting bricks over this.
Electing anti-American leftist traitors to high office is the only hope the Jihadists, the Russians and the Chinese have against US military technological superiority. Hillary would be the ultimate Jihadist coup.
Wonder if this is true? I was hoping whatever was done was top secret and NO one would know. And then again maybe it’s a red herring...
The Israelis blinded them...with science!
Putin to Assad: “Sorry. No refunds!”
Note to self -- when ticking off Israel: Don't use the words "Muhammad" "Allah" or "Osama Bin Laden" as system passwords...
Since it was mentioned in the article,
I worked on sub assemblies for that type of technology in the late 70’s (79 - 80), the “F-16 cloaking device” although it was no where near what was described.
It was cool stuff 25 years ago, bet it’s come along way since.
Because they were built by Russians and operated by Syrians?
