I see. Now that the Israelis know what they are up against, I expect it to be a lot harder for the Iranians to successfully attack them.
On another note, I bet the U.S. Navy is extremely interested in this.
Agreed 100% on both counts...but if the Israelis has the Saar 5 vessel there in the waters near Lebannon, then that means they expected and wanted to be prepared for air attack. It came, and it was pointed at their most capable asset in that regard.
...and it mission killed it.
Everyone will be interested in this, the USN, our allies, the Iranians, the Russians, and the Chinese who developed the missile.
