Refueling tankers based on a Boeing 707 airframe are a key component of Israel's power projection towards Iran.

A Boeing 707-based AWACS was brought down by two Canada Geese and if they can do it, two Hamas drones could bring down an Israeli tanker, IMO.

Search the website at the search term "runway kill zone" for more information on how autonomous GPS-guided drones, particularly helicopters, can be used to bring down heavy aircraft.

At the bottom of the story at the link is the JPost account of the IDF hit on the Hamas drones:

The IDF also revealed on Friday that it had taken out Hamas’s nascent drone program.

The military recently focused its intelligence efforts on a group of Hamas terrorists who were developing and producing drones designed to strike fortified targets in Israel.

The terrorists were under the instruction of Iranian technical instructors, and the ‘production team’ carried test flights in Gaza of the drones.

The IAF struck the test flight sites in recent attacks.

They need to target the paleosimians with cameras!

Without their propaganda, they are SOL in public sympathy.

Just like AQ sets ambushes for the first responders, IDF should nail them to the wall!

So what you're saying is that the Viking Kitties are now airborne?

Cheers!
