IAI Phalcon 707
Does anyone know if Israel has anyhing like an AWACS and/or a JSTARS? Any chance that the US is giving them help from on high (no not that high, just from maybe 40,000 feet)?
When Hezbollah starts to move those rocket launchers north they should be sitting ducks if the Israelis have a good view of the battlefield and good C&C links to their fighter-bombers.
how's it getting in & what else is coming in with it?

DAMASCUS, July 16 (KUNA) -- Syria started sending aid, in the form of food and medication, to Lebanon to help its people face the hardships caused by Israel's aggression.
According to Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) on Sunday, Syria's Health Ministry commenced sending aid consisting of first-aid kits and necessary medications on Saturday as requested by Lebanese Health Minister Mohammad Khalifa, noting that today's shipment will include milk and baby food.

"...IAI Phalcon 707
Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) developed its Phalcon system for Israeli defence forces and for export. Airborne Early Warning, Command and Control (AEWC&C) systems play a major role on the modern battlefield by providing real-time intelligence and command and control needed to achieve and maintain air superiority over the combat area and to enable surveillance of borders in peacetime. The world's most advanced AEWC&C system, the PHALCON, was developed and produced by ELTA using Active Phased Array Electronic Scanning Technology rather than a mechanically rotating antenna (rotodome) used by current AWACS systems, giving PHALCON greater operational flexibility and performance by several orders of magnitude. The Phalcon AEW&C aircraft is based on four sensors: phased-array radar, phased-array IFF, ESM/ELINT and CSM/COMINT. A unique fusion technology continuously cross-relates the data gathered by all sensors. When one of the sensors reports a detection, the system automatically initiates an active search of the complementary sensors..."
