How Will Israel Retaliate Against Iran?
New American Prophet ^ | April 15, 2024 | Dr. Michael Brown

Posted on 04/15/2024 5:06:58 AM PDT by Rev M. Bresciani

As expected, in retaliation for Israel’s killing of a top Iranian general and 7 other senior military leaders on April 1, all of whom were suspected of having Israeli blood on their hands, Iran struck back on Saturday night, launching roughly 350 drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles on Israel. This marked the first time that the Islamic Republic of Iran directly attacked Israel after years of murderous attacks by their proxies, in particular Hezbollah and Hamas. What will Israel do in response? And what does this mean for the region and the world?

I'd like that too. But see the map in my post #13 on how Israel needs to get airspace permission from other countries. Bonus points if it's Jordan and Iraq. But there are other countries whose airspace could be used by Israel if they get a combination to link together to provide a path for missiles and/or planes. Otherwise we're talking about a naval attack from the Gulf of Oman.

Perhaps Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, and UAE could be talked into allowing their airspace be used if it came with a promise from Israel to attack Iranian strongholds toward the south that would weaken Iran's ability to choke off the Hormuz Strait.

Okay, so other than Raytheon, who makes these air defense systems?

It sounds like they are pretty effective against everything except hyper sonic missiles. It would seem to me that Raytheon would be getting calls from some interested buyers.

FYI, I know a retried USAF officer would worked for Raytheon after retiring from the USAF. He and his wife spent two years living in Abu Dabu installing their system in the UAE.

This seems to be your real point, you just don’t like us, and Israel and our allies.

To quote you

“Russia has the best air defense systems.”

“Putin is elminating the haters of all stripes and we are moving towards a more peaceful world”

Israel has ground hugging, supersonic, stealthy nukes that can be launched from its subs. They are as good, if not better, than anything we have.

No air clearance needed.

Just blow it all up. Cause it to cease to exist.

AFAIK, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are the primary contractors for all our heavier SAM systems. Boeing is a partner in Israel's Arrow III ABM.

Hypersonic is a bit of a misnomer and marketing ploy. The only hypersonic missiles in use are ballistic missiles. Those are hypersonic only in the upper atmosphere. By that standard, the V-2 rocket was hypersonic.

If that works for you, you can respond that way to being attacked.

He has no real response except to parrot back other people’s statements. Definitely a troll.
