Israel should develop a Trans Africa alliance with South Sudan, including support for military training and equipment. This will allow Israel and South Sudan to contain North Sudan from south and north. It will also motivate South Sudan to export its oil to Israel. Israel and South Sudan have common interests.
Unless Israel claims it so, how would anyone actually know Israel used a sub or stealth planes in a “strike”?
Probably the same way we “know” they have nukes.
They don’t really acknowledge it, but a lot of things make it fairly evident. There’s always a source and operational analysis that leads to certain conclusions. Likely that’ll occur at some point.
Israel and South Sudan, Copts in Egypt, Christians in Lebanon and Bethlehem, Kurds, perhaps in the Syria after Assad goes also Alawites, India, Armenia...we have a great many potential allies we’d best start cultivating. We could even form our own organization to counter the UN or work within its framework: The Allliance of Near and Far Eastern Minorities (ANFEM). There. We’ve got an acronym that’s easy to pronounce and remember. Time to get cracking.
More likely it was a combination of low level tactics, IAF ECM and incompetent Sudanese RADAR operators. Stealth technology does not make one invisible. Stealth technology only reduces the range at which one is detected.
Watched The Four feathers yesterday. My, how times have changed in the Sudan.
“Theyre practicing for the big one, Iran.”
That was my first thought: practice makes perfect!
“Just out of curiousity, how would a typical Sudanese spotter know if a sub he spotted was Israeli or someone else’s?”
The sub line was fed to the reporter via an Israeli source. It was meant for the Iranians.
