As much as I think Israel is a criminal state, I very much prefer the way they struck Syria this time & their reasons for it, than our (UK/France) own way, which is financing & training terrorists to scare the population of syria, & pose as “freedom fighters”.

Don’t kid yourself. NATO is behind the terrorists that slaughter the syrian people.

I can’t agree the Intruder looks neat

Really?! I don’t know who wrote that article, but it wasn’t very informative, very repetitive and with some mistakes in it… Wasn’t really worth reading tbh.

This quote seems silly at first, but not anymore if you consider it might refer to the carrier version, which is, actually, only produced in single seat versions.

And if any of you have been naughty we’re going to send you a strongly worded letter!

Not to justify the drone attacks that is, but I doubt the UN investigation will come to anything.

Those attacks are plain assassination. It’s only right that they are getting probed. I don’t trust the UN all that much, but at least this is a nice step for once.

Has this part been posted yet?

as I understand, they never proceeded with the Sea Shadow because it was too stealthy: radars did not detect it, but neither the waves beneat it, so it could be detected because it did not give any type of radar signature

This is where active cancelling would come into play: get a couple AESA antennae sending “sea wave noise” all around.

I don’t wish to be rude but Google is extremely easy to use.

That’s actually a fairly recent piece on the subject but if you google well you’ll find many reports from around the time of the operation as it was widely reported by the media at the time.

This is just excuse making to justify not going to Syria at that moment since Obami backpaddled at the last moment.
