According to the Times of Israel, Israel's Channel 2 has revealed that Israeli air defenses have been boosted, and approaching civilian aircraft will be asked to identify themselves far earlier. Though the flight was presumed at first to have crashed, whole or in pieces, into the ocean, passive satellite transmissions from the aircraft suggest that it made a deliberate course change and may have headed north into central Asia. Pakistan has already said that the flight never registered on its radar, but at least one expert has suggested the flight could have landed in Bangladesh, whose air defenses presumably would be weaker. Though the possibility that the Boeing 777 could be used in a terror attack is mere speculation, it is evidently being taken seriously by Israel. A plane filled with nuclear material would not need to be in Israeli airspace long to do catastrophic damage, even if shot down. There are no reports yet that the U.S. is taking similar measures, and U.S. officials have suggested recently that the likeliest fate of flight 370 was a crash into the Indian Ocean.

I don’t think Iran will attack Israel with the aircraft, but the US instead.

Why?

Because Iran has stated in the past that it needs to get the US out of the way before it can attack Israel.

If this plane was stolen for the sole intention of taking it to Israel and blowing it up, they have wasted their time..its not gonna happen..Israel’s security is top notch, they even suspect that a plane is illegally entering their airspace they will shoot it down. You need a code to even enter Israeli airspace, you don’t know the code, its shot down, that simple

Odds are that the US military is also preparing for a possible attack, but it’s unlikely they would tell us anything.

Is Obama still on vacation in Hawaii?

Smart move by the Israelis to prepare for any contingencies. Contrast it with the Obama administration’s NEVER anticipating or preparing for anything in a rational manner.

If it landed and the passengers are alive, perhaps they will put them on the plane for an attack. The ultimate human shields.

So maybe Russia’s Iran does have the plane.

Not probable.

It’s in the south Indian Ocean.

I’ve long thought that a scheduled flight from Iran to Jordan could take a hard right and detonate an EMP type attack at the Israeli border. Nuclear missiles would have a free run after that. It would require several nukes to work. I don’t know if Iran has that capability, yet.

Taking parts off the 370 plane and using it on another to mask it.

India would be a more likely target than Israel.

About 4 years ago Pakistan radically changed the way it stores it’s nukes —remember when the US asked permission to safeguard their nuclear weapons in the event their gummint was overthrown by fundamentalists?

The Pakistanis refused and saw the US request as an attempt to simply DO AWAY with their nuclear deterrent.

They were so scared of US intentions that they were shuttling nukes around Pakistan with very, very little security —the stories were hair-raising.

IS IT POSSIBLE ONE OF THESE GOT AWAY FROM THEM...?

My belief is that now that this aircraft is loose, the above question must be plumbed more carefully.

They need to be on high alert that’s for sure. Now that the US has deserted them and the Soviet Union (formerly known as Russia) is growing in strength, Israel pretty much stands alone.

I pray for them daily

The right hand hijacked a plane. I’m more concerned about what the left hand is doing.

Wow, what a scenario. How could anyone possibly know if the plane was only full of the passengers or if it also had been converted to some sort of a mass weapon?

Who makes the call on whether or not to shoot it down? Frightening scenario.

************************************************
Israel might not be the target. Jihadis hate Moscow more than they hate Israel or America and they now have an opportunity to pull a stunt that will get the USA blamed for an attack on Russia.
This is now the perfect setup to a terror attack on Moscow by the hijackers who took Malaysian flight MH370.
Paint it to look American or worst US military and fly it into a high profile target in Russia.

Bases primarily on the location of the last engine satellite ping, the plane is more than likely in the waters about 1000 miles off the northwest coast of Australia — and won’t be flying to Israel anytime soon.
