Following the downing of the jet Israel responded with a fresh "large-scale strike" in Syria.......

I've always heard that payback's a bitch!

Very interesting no media is covering this most significant escalation... sign of the times.

All we care about is sports, entertainment, and how bad trump is.

rude awakening inbound soon!

My wife’s flight just left Ben Gurion about 20 minutes ago and I’m so glad she’s out of there.

In the 1973 war “roughly 100 planes were lost and 60 pilots and navigators gave their lives”

Would not be surprised that Russian techs were actually firing the missiles at the Israeli jet.

War is coming whether you, me, the Israel’s, whomever, wants it. Ezekiel 38 and 39 ARE coming. THE BOOK says so!!! The only question is: when?

“Would not be surprised that Russian techs were actually firing the missiles at the Israeli jet.”

Agree...I still remember 1982. When it was Syrian techs in Lebanon, the Israelis took out the missiles - when it was Russian techs, the Israelis lost planes. Huge difference.

Good to hear that.

Don’t know what the future holds but one does not know when the tough words will translate into tough actions that have the potential to cause death, injury and destruction.

I see that coming in and around Syria sooner or later.

In retaliation for the F-16I loss, the IAF conducted a second wave of air strikes against six Syrian Arab Army and SyADF targets simultaneously, using F-16I and F-15I fighters. The targets were:

Syrian Arab Army 175th Missile and Artillery Regiment base, north of Izra, Daraa
SyADF 89th Air Defence Regiment base at Jabab, near Daraa
Syrian Arab Army ballistic missile base at Al-Kiswah, Damascus suburbs, where IRGC personnel are also present
104th Airborne Brigade of the Republican Guard in the Ad Durayj area in the countryside of Damascus
SyADF 150th Regiment, north of Aleqain, Daraa
SyADF 13th Brigade, north of Ad Dimas, northwest of Damascus
At least one IAI Harop (or IAI Harpy 2) attack drone was used as an anti-radiation weapon to target the IRGC drone C2 facility at T4 air base.

I fear we are getting sandbagged into another shooting war.
