Either our Awacs would have taged him or the IDF early warning radar.

We have no AWACS in that area, AFAIK. However the IDF has their own airborne radar systems. Both E-2 Hawkeyes and Phalcons, the later using an Israeli built phased array radar system on a 707 airframe. They are selling the same system to India, but on the Ilyushin IL-76 airframe. (Russia's A-50 AWACSkie is also based on the IL-76 as is China's attempt at an AWACS)

But you're correct. He'd be hog meat.

Roger that, you probly are more informed then myself on current ops in the area. I was refering to the odd chance of that sort of movement being tagged by either a CAG/CVN radar assets in the Med or Gulf etc. Friends of mine flying Biz jets in the 8o's recall frequent interceptions by the IAF using scootersA-4s and Phantoms in the region. Those boys play fer keeps ,thats for sure!
