"The system is the new Tor-M1 launcher, and the Iranians bought 29 of them from Russia for $750 million to guard their nuclear sites. The Tor launchers were delivered in January, according to Agency France-Press and ITAR-TASS.

It is not confirmed that the Tor system was in fact the system guarding the Syrian site."

Assuming that Israeli non-stealth jets were used...

otoh, can you trust Russia?

Then again, Israeli electronics are pretty good..

Ambiguity can be a defense.

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!!

even take over as systems administrator so sensors can be manipulated into positions so that approaching aircraft can't be seen"

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.

how did Israel's non-stealth jets infiltrate Syrian airspace undetected

Because they were built by Russians and operated by Syrians?

IF true that is the most expensive Soviet Paper Weight I have ever heard of....

Gosh, that is beautiful, not only will they pay for these things, but Israel may blow them up! So they are humiliated twice! Syria and Iran would be the most recent Darwin Award Recipents! Oh my that is Shadenfreude city.....

And the funny part is Putin told Hugo “Chubby” Chavez that if you put 100,000 AK-47s in an area the size of a football stadium that it will form a formidable air defense shield.

Now you know the rest of the story.

Jedi warriors used a cloaking device to baffle the Klingons, but I may have my metaphors mixed up.

ormer 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"

Maybe there's a simpler explanation.
