but we could have had a bird in the area doing ELINT

What do you Crows think? Would we take advantage of the opportunity presented by a real live fire mission to gather intel on our enemy?

I believe Trump would leverage every bit of data/advantage he could from any action he deemed necessary to take - add Russia’s total lack of action during the strike as evidence they didn’t want to show us anything about their capabilities....after blustering about shooting down any missiles and going after the sources.....could just as easily been an attempt to hide how weak their hand really is.

Damn straight we would.

If we didn't have assets in the area, someone needs to be relieved for cause.

No one, does EW and IW like the Americans. You just don't hear about it and for good reason.

I would hope that we had an elint platform included in the strike package to collect that information. I’m not current on how far out our Elint can collect from as I’m thinking that the strikes were all by stand off missiles rather than planes bombing by flying directly over the targets. Also, the Israeli’s have probably/hopefully been collecting and sharing that info with us.

No way, we’d never do that! That would be like cheating...!

As I told my wife Saturday morning, “I thought they could shoot down all of our missiles...” Hint: Tough to do if you can’t see them.
