I think much said in the press is rethoric and posturing.. same as we saw just before N.K went nuclear, where Kim Jong was threatened with all sort of military actions should N.K become nuclear.. and then once he did, rest of the world did pretty much nothing. Hence i do not think much will occur of threats against Iran.. and if they choose to go nuclear.. they will. But everything aside i want to discuss technical aspect of such action and lets leave politics and justifications for such action on the sideline..
In essence could Israel pull off repeat in Syria with Iran.. would it be a small scale strike, say pair of F15s on long strike mission, or would they opt for larger scale incursion and perhaps use airborne units together with large scale air strikes. The first would require a precision strike and element of suprise , with no action take against Irans airforce or SAM networks… the former would require for Israel to overwhelm Iranian AF, much as they did with Egypt decades ago.. as well as take significant action in eliminating at least part of air defense network.
Im just curious do people here belive Israel could pull of such operation with no military assistance abroad (excluding intelligence sharing )
