Tell them to call me. I know a guy...
What’s wrong with the US going ahead and flying a B-2 over there and just doing a few passes over Tehran?
???
Commercial airliners regularly fly between 35,000 to 40,000 feet of altitude.
Since we give Israel the money to "buy" our weapons, we're really giving (not selling) weapons to them.
If they get one make sure they clear coat with that
If the USA won’t sell them a B52 they could ask Airbus to sell them a Airbus A400M Atlas it can tote 20 tonnes 3450 nmi at up too FL400. Pallet and ramp launched cargo systems are common for drones, JDAMS, heck the US even air dropped a ICBM out the back of a C5. Cargo bombers is old hat.
It would have been a huge task but if anyone could do it the Israelis could. Convert a civilian jet liner. Expensive but cheap compared to being nuked by Iran.
What about finding an old Avro Vulcan (later Hawker Siddeley Vulcan[1] from July 1963)[2] was a jet-powered, tailless, delta-wing, high-altitude, strategic bomber, which was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1956 until 1984?
The United States would never, ever, sell a B-52 to anybody, even their most trusted ally. It is a strategic nuclear bomber and I think is covered by some sort of law that says it’s one of those things that nobody else can have.
You would think they could steal the blue prints and build their own. I mean, the thing is 70 years old...how difficult could it be?
Do any former Warsaw Pact countries have any old Soviet bombers?
Well...how about this?
Maybe Vietnam can sell old crashed B-52s for parts. Maybe enough to reconstruct a couple?
There’s a whole bunch of B-52s lying around in the Davis-Monthan AFB boneyard in Tucson. Might need a little fixing up.
False, false, and for good measure, false.
If they can launch satellites into space they could put a directable tungsten rod or 2 into space and try blasting the site that way!
I doubt seriously that 50,000 feet is clear of current SAM reach
Not with impunity anyhow
Too bad all of the Antonov’s are dust. That would be poetic justice.
Can they build the bunker bomb that large?
Can you imagine trying to protect a B-52 from a drone attack in a country the size of Israel?
Mr. Amb,
Being an American Jew and Amb to Israel is akin to having dual citizenship.
You know it it takes an oximoran like you to write such drivel for public consumption.
My wife was once the Arrow Field Office Manager and from what we know you don’t need a US bomber to handle this job.
In fact I am surprised Trump is extracting a heavy price for services normally provided without question.
Could it be that Israel too believed no Republican would ever be president again after Biden, and that IQ failure to protect the Donald is now coming back to haunt Israel.
The Liberal Jew needs to meet the normal Jew and sell their lost souls to the devil this time.
If Israel needs this American President’s assistance... you must give up some secret information and give up some anti-Trumpers’ and reaffirm your principles and committment to a US not in the clutches of a deep state.
Simple cocktail party small talk will not do.
MAGA needs heads to roll. Once that happens and safeguards are in place to prevent another deep state tskeover of our countries, we will bail you out.
Take a C-17 and develop a reliable payload ejection mechanism that drops a GBU-57 out the back. It’s modern and the structural integrity to get the job done.
