In the prologue to this book, Sada has a chilling description of a meeting with Saddam where plans to attack Israel with a mass air attack utilizing chemical and biological WMD bombs were being discussed. Sada actually had to tell Saddam that such a plan would not work because it would be the blind (Iraq) fighting the sighted (Israel). Apparently the Israeli planes had radar that could see well over 100 miles, but the Russian built Iraqi planes had radar that could only see about 15 miles ? Don't know if my memory is correct on that 15 mile range, but regardless it was unbelievably short. My first impression was that the Russian planes could not have had radar with a range that short. Perhaps there was a translation problem or perhaps that was an error that slipped into his book ?
