After Israeli missile strike on Syria confirmed by both sides, the question remains – how did Israel's non-stealth jets infiltrate Syrian airspace undetected? US aerospace experts tell Aviation Week magazine that Israel used new US-developed technology that lets users invade and manipulate enemy communication networks

After Syrian President Bashar Assad admitted that Israeli planes carried out a missile strike in Syria and after the media blackout on the incident was lifted in Israel, many unanswered questions still remain regarding how IAF jets managed to infiltrate Syrian security.
An article published this week on the aerospace magazine Aviation Week & Space Technology's website offers the theory of experts in the field on how the Israeli F15 and F16 jets – which are not stealth fighters – managed to evade detection by Syrian air defense radar. Syrian Attack

In special interview with Israeli-Arab newspaper Mohammad Habash calls IAF raid on Syria ‘failure’, says Israel must change policy, negotiate peace Full Story )
US aerospace industry and former US Air Force officials told Aviation Week's Senior Military Editor David A. Fulghum that Israel must have used "a technology like the US-developed 'Suter' airborne network attack system".
The cutting-edge technology allows users to invade enemy communication networks, to "see what enemy sensors see and even take over as systems administrator so sensors can be manipulated into positions so that approaching aircraft can't be seen", experts said.
In effect, the technology infiltrates and tricks enemy sensors by "directing data streams into them that can include false targets and misleading messages algorithms that allow a number of activities including control," the article explains.
The US system was recently tested successfully in operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, officials told Aviation Week.
Iran worried?
According to the article, a Kuwaiti newspaper recently reported that "Russian experts are studying why the two state-of-the art Russian-built radar systems in Syria did not detect the Israeli jets entering Syrian territory. Iran reportedly has asked the same question, since it is buying the same systems and might have paid for the Syrian acquisitions."
The system is the new Tor-M1 launcher, and the Iranians bought 29 of them from Russia for $750 million to guard their nuclear sites. The Tor launchers were delivered in January, according to Agency France-Press and ITAR-TASS.
It is not confirmed that the Tor system was in fact the system guarding the Syrian site.
All your radar data network are belong to us!
PING!
Funny!
Oh please oh please let this be the same system that failed in Syria.

your "yes, but" trumps my "ahem"...apologies Kimo Sabe..
I’ll bet they just forgot to plug it in...
evening, Hero...pleasure as always...you’re up late as usual..
The Israeli's attacked at prayer time when no-one was watching?
The thing I find curious is what is the Suter system. I can only find 3 references to it on the web. One is in this article. The second is from an article written by the same David Fulghum mentioned in the article on 25 Jan 06. And the 3rd is on a Hungarian blog on 30 Jan 06 which is almost word for word from the 25 Jan article (so it’s probably sourced from the earlier article).
I’m hoping that this is not a case where an “Air Force source” gave out some info to a reporter that he darn well should not have.
none of this should be being talked about.....
So the “Suter” network hypnotizes the radars into thinking the attacking aircraft are invisible. Like The Shadow?
Who knows what evil...?
Fun to mess with Ahmadinejad's head. And the Chinese, too.
Cheers!
Recent military IO testing examined the capability to secretly enter an enemy computer network and monitor what their radar systems could detect. Further experiments tested the capability to take over enemy computers and manipulate their radar to show false images.18
18 These programs were called Suter 1 and Suter 2, and were tested during Joint Expeditionary Forces Experiments held at Nellis Air Force Base in 2000 and 2002. David Fulghum, “Sneak Attack,” Aviation Week & Space Technology, June 28, 2004, p. 34.
INFORMATION WAR— The U.S. has allegedly demonstrated a system for infiltrating enemy air defense systems to spoof them, plant false targets and even take control of their equipment. The expanding capability was reportedly demonstrated during the last two Joint Expeditionary Force Experiments (JEFX) inprograms dubbed Suter 1 and Suter 2. Air Force officials verified the rough details of the project. “We’ve been able to inject false targets into enemy air defense systems for some time,” said the Air Force official. “The twist to Suter is being able to hook Rivet Joint (intelligence-gathering aircraft) into that process of putting disinformation or false commands into those net-works.”As to the usefulness of a near-term application of Suter to possible operations in the Middle East, “Rivet Joint aircraft have already spent a lot of time looking at electronic signatures and systems footprints in Iraq,” a senior Air Force official said. West-ern and Central Iraq are a particular concern. The Western sector is closest to Jordan and Israel and contains the two Scud boxes used to shoot missiles into Israel during the 1990-91 Persian Gulf war. In these areas, the surviving surface-to-air missiles have reportedly been concentrated to achieve a density equal to pre-Desert Storm levels.Why this type of information is being disseminated, leaked or discussed in any form or fashion by official Washington is not easily dis-cernable, unless the message itself is part of the information war.

You may be right. In some circles the publication is known as Aviation Leak.
