    What exactly are they using for the rocket propellant? Are these smuggled in, or made in the workshops in the Gaza Strip?

    I Heard in some news some time back they use fertilizers as a feul…

    After the Phalcon and the J-10, do you really think Israel is getting an F/A-22? I would certainly hope not, and they ought to be denied the AIM-120 and F-35 as well.

    As if they’re going to pay in full for F-22s*. F-35+Aim-120 is an overkill, but then as if IAF isnt an overkill for opponents already.

    *and no one can afford this plane apart from USA,/

    How about a scan from a map? What is shown from that area officialy allowed in your country? 😉

    Israel is as official as Palestinian State for Israelis.

    You better look for a map of “Occupied Palestine” :p

    I would, but they changed the names of the occupied cities you see :confused: 😀 .

    btw you missed the whole point of my last post.

    anyway..

    Iran says can mass produce medium-range missiles:
    TEHRAN, Nov 9:
    Iran said today it was now able to manufacture large quantities of its medium-range Shahab-3 ballistic missile, which defence experts say is capable of hitting Israel or U.S. bases in the Gulf. “We have the capability to mass-produce Shahab-3 missiles,” Defence Minister Ali Shamkhani told reporters. His comments, reported on several local news agencies, were confirmed by the Defence Ministry. (Reuters)

    Flying over “Jewish Settlements”? “disputed terrirtories”?
    Excuse me, how about violating the airspace of the sovereign state of Israel?
    Nahariya is actually one of the bigger cities in Israel. It’s located on the Israeli coast and has absolutely nothing to do with the Israeli Arab conflict. It’s like saying that Tel Aviv is a disputed territory.
    CNN appears to be fed by the Arab media, calling that area “northern occupied Palestine”.

    and I was more generous by callng them disputed instead of Palestinian :p, As I understand there are still some disputes in those areas on the borders.

    I cant know from that strip wether Nahariya or other towns were there somewhere. SO I guessed it along the border somewhere.

    btw..how accurate are the Fajrs..?

    The IAF details even those crashes which are in remote areas. They are bound to, by law. A Parliamentary Accounts Committee for example, can call up anyone it wishes for testifying before the panel. Whether you are the CAS or the Scientific Adviser to the PM (DRDO Head) or head of HAL, it really does not matter. You have to testify before the PAC and the records become public.
    Similarly, the Comptroller and Auditor General can repeatedly scrutinise your records- and make them public. Which it does yearly.
    Apart from these legal petitions can also have the court direct the IAF to publically release data- which has also been done.
    Then there are parliamentary Qn’s- which the MOD is required to answer. Again a matter of public record.

    The above process is exactly why the Indian services and Defense industry remain among the most heavily scrutinised and audited organizations in the world. A high level of transparency is a given.

    Yes good for you, But I’d not prefer that if I’m facing an enemy 8 times my size and only report it to the elite of the government. Everyone has there own way of thinking.

    The IAF is open with its crash rate and attrition details, unlike certain other AF’s in dictatorships which fly less and hide details.

    Hiding crashes is strategic in some cases. If it lands in proximity or on civilian areas, its difficult to hide.

    Just a general thought from me, not aimed towards Pak or India.
