That's what I don't get, retreating to the Israeli side? But aren't they the murderers, the child killers? The ones who shoot Iron Dome missiles into Gaza schools and hospitals?

Rod Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 And see how no one talks about the supposed blunder that Israel did by not making an agreement with the Assads in Syria and withdrawing from the Golan, where there would be peacekeepers to guarantee the peace.....The more I read the less I geddit.

Corinthian Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Oops Moderate and Islamist rebel groups in a Damascus suburb in Syria signed a “non-aggression” agreement with the Islamic State (ISIS), a Syrian monitoring group said. Some of the brigades are part of the U.S.-backed Syrian Revolutionary Front but have now agreed to a truce in Hajar al-Assad with ISIS So much for moderates.

Stargrunt6 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) 200k flee Syria, mostly into Turkey Also, US airstrikes have begun. This leaves room for disaster: The strikes in Syria were not invited by the government of Bashar Assad who is waging a brutal civil war against opponents of his regime, including IS militants. It's unclear how Assad will react to the U.S-led attacks. His military possesses sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles, although most of them are near the capital of Damascus and near the border with Israel.

We're striking at militants that are against him. With the US and NATO after ISIS, he can concentrate on wiping out the moderate rebels.

JWB Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Aircraft from several Arab states took part in the attack. They were: Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, according to a senior Defense Department official who was not authorized to speak publicly about their participation.Conflict of interest.

Rod Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I guess those old Patriots are still in good working order. I wonder what is the shelf life of those PAC-1 missiles.

Josh Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 As manufactured in their launch containers they were supposed to have a 10 year shelf life, sealed (the whole 'wood round' thing from the 80's). No idea about the date of manufacture or if they have been refurbished; I'm sure the IDF wouldn't keep them lying around unless they had a high confidence of them being in working order.

urbanoid Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Yeah. From US mission to NATO FB page:Photo shows before and after photos of target by F-22. This was the first time the F-22 was used in a combat role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I wonder what ordnance F-22s are cleared for at this point. I believe they only can take up to Mk83 or TMD based munitions internally. SDB was to be integrated; don't know if that happened. But very little ordnance are cleared on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaro Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 werent they flying with 2x1000lb JDAM already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Mk 83 = 1000 lbs, and yes two of those or else two of the TMD family. I think SDB was in the cards, which would allow 8, but I don't know if that happened. Not sure even mk 82 was cleared, though the hole in that building doesn't look that impressive so maybe so.

Stargrunt6 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 AQ plotters in Syria go dark As the Khorasan Group came closer to executing the attack, however, U.S. intelligence agencies lost track of the plotters. “We had some information on their plans that did not pan out over the summer,” one senior U.S. intelligence official told The Daily Beast. “They shut it down and went dark.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 IR or some kind of EO. Radar doesn't cast shadows AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr King Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) IR or some kind of EO. Radar doesn't cast shadows AFAIK. Good catch. It is just interesting because if it was a F22 who took that using a EO sensor of some kind, I wonder how it is equipped on the aircraft.
