It's been a few years but I recall hearing reports of the Israeli AF doing large strike package exercises in the Med. They would have strikers, escort, jammers, and tankers flying west a long way then turn around and fly home.  If you measured the distance, flipped it on a map going east, you end up in Iran.  Things that make you go, hhmmmm.

November/December '79 we were flying gunships out of Guam to replicate time and distance for our mission to rescue the hostages in Iran. Take off from Guam, fly up to Korea, hang out for awhile, and back. Average flight time 18 hours at 10,000 feet unpressurized, max continuous power, doing about 215 IAS, two ARs. That part of the mission got scrubbed.

"At a distance of approximately 2,300 kilometers, the Air Force struck an Iranian refueling aircraft a short time ago at Mashhad airport in eastern Iran. The Air Force is working to achieve air superiority throughout Iran. This is the farthest strike since the operation began."

I wonder how far the Israeli tankers are pushing up this far in.

Over areas that would only be permissible with tacit approval of the Sunni states in the region that get something out of this.

That’s probably the biggest part of this not being discussed by critics of Israel and the current administration, because this shows the Abraham accords and other normalization efforts were far more useful than publicly acknowledged.

This is getting serious. Iran has an air defense capability that reverses your vertical stabilizer, powers your afterburner post crash AND sits you down gently in the grass!

Bro, that's obviously fake....this one should be sobering for Western nations.  If Iran can get to our F-35s, all bets are off.

I find this only slightly less obnoxious than all DCS gameplay videos being grained up and shared as footage from the Ukraine-Russo war.

It's crazy the modifications they had to make to satisfy the B model.

The Israelis have now gone too far.  Attacking the island nation of Lilliput, the Lilliputians will now have to respond in kind.  They might be small, but they are fierce!  Apparently, tiny people with tiny radars can overcome stealth technology.  I bet the engineers at Lockheed Martin didn't see that coming.

After the merciless mocking following their last attempt at propaganda, looks like their pendulum was swung full retard.

What do you mean back to!? We still have a large presence there and many of us get to deploy there every couple years
