The Israel Air Forces F-15 fleet is undergoing an upgrade, with systems that make it better equipped for complex long distance attack scenarios. The systems are being installed in both the F-15 and the F-15I — a model of the F-15 that was developed by its U.S. manufacturer specifically for the IAF.
According to IDF journal BaMachaneh, the F-15I model is currently being fitted with two new systems one called Barad Pelada (Steel Hail), and another named Lightning.
The Barad Pelada advanced weapons system has been operational in the IAFs F-16s for almost four years, but had to be modified in order to fit the F-15.
Barad Pelada is an advanced Israeli armament that operates like a smart bomb. The system is unique in that it is able to plan the bombing in an accurate way by identifying the target from above, a knowledgeable source in the IAF explained. After the identification, the system carries out guidance to the target and only then is impact made.

Does this mean that sucide bombers now are required to have a college degree?
When I hear of sophisticated Iranian weapons systems I think of the stuff made by the Little Rascals in their short movies.
What do the Iranians use to deliver such a weapon?
