"WOuldn't it be great if Israel shot it down?"

The same thought occured to me, and that would be great. But do we want to expose our technology to them in a test, thereby killing their pride and prompting them to go back to development? Or would we rather conceal our abilities as much as possible and more likely blow the crap out of their whole military without getting hit back when the real opportunity comes?

Oh, the Iranians would cry it was really a test...but we wouldn't have to.
