There have been threads in the past about the U.S. Air Force (and probably IAF) ability to remotely reprogram enemy weapon systems (both air and ground based). Basically inserting new code into the system’s RAM. Ultimate hacking! There is even an acronym for it which I can’t recall at the moment. Think I saw something in Aviation Leak as well. It was all hard for me to believe, even though I worked with a high degree of digital control sophistication in the past. Guess it has to be believed!

Yeah... once you can re-program your weapons in flight, you have to be _really_ careful the bad guys don’t do it too....

Well, if this was Saddam’s WMD, then it’s up in smoke now.

They did whine a bit about Israel's Jets flying over a Syrian "resort" area.

Seems to me that a few months ago IDF planes overflew Num Num's palace there also......

Walter Dornenberger (sp.) says that the most disruptive effect of British and American bombing raids on Peenemunde was that it killed a lot of irreplacable engineers, scientists and technicians. If we are going to be successful in stopping Iranian and North Korean nuclear ambitions it makes more sense to focus on people rather than artifacts. He should intend our raids to kill as many skilled personnel as possible.

People without stuff can make more stuff. Stuff without the right people is worthless.

No wonder Kookcinch went to Syria. He had to ally himself with other Jew Haters.

Pwnd came originally from a typo, and a common one, Owned got typed in as pwned, and it has gotten shortened for convenience sake to pwnd.

My guess is they came in from Iraq, which is about 50 miles from the Strike site in that area.

[Danae]

That is DAMN interesting....

Why conceal that? Why try to hide the sun rising in the East?

[Danae]

Slice to record

From what I read elsewhere, NK and Iran have shifted their enrichment programs to Syria. NK and Iran are being watched closely, Syria not as much so. NK and Iran can announce they’re stopping their programs, look good to the world, hope to be watched less closely, however, they’ve just moved their shops to Syria, where the work continues with less scrutiny.

Thank God for Israel. This is what we should have done to Iran. Eff world opinion, eff the midget’s reaction.

My understanding of the goal of this remote control program — whether this has been attained or not — went far beyond sending counterfeit “spoof” control signals to a weapons system. It actually involved changing the programming inside the system. One of the quotes was something like “We can make their anti-aircraft guns into washing machines”.

The Rooskies have a deal to sell about 50 new anti-aircraft systems to Syria. Iran has a deal to get 10 of those from Syria.

In any event, if the Syrians have any of them operable, I guess Iran has just learned what their value is.

I don't doubt that the Israelis will be more than happy to recommend the new Russian anti-aircraft systems to the Iranian government. "Please buy these, they're the cutest little things we've ever seen.":)

Maybe this was addressed earlier in the thread but why was there no detectable radiation release if nuclear materials were hit? Targeting and hitting special materials should create a radioactive cloud setting off detectors all over the place even if it was a bunker buster scenario. Same deal with chemical weapons for that matter, although it would be more a local/regional thing.

Israelis ‘blew apart Syrian nuclear cache’

Might be why Syria claims "nothing happened and they plan no "retaliation?"

Another "nothing to see" and "stay away" moment?

LOL!

[Publius6961]

It was a No Dong missile base that was destroyed in Syria.

Does this mean that the Syrians are holding out for "Real Dongs"?

Just asking...

[Publius6961]

Just as I thought.
I was saying the same thing yesterday!

[rb22982]

God bless Israel. Can you imagine the ME without them?

[rb22982]

We assume it’s unintentionally. One never knows.
