Sorry my friend, having military training in tactics and PsyOps and a background working with DoD Engineers makes me quite educated in military tactics and technology.
Now, the tools they used to blind Syria’s systems is and will remain a mystery to Syria and Iran, those two countries knowing that we have the ability to do this and they can’t stop it has a powerful effect that will help more in the diplomatic arena.
You really need to look at the big picture and stop thinking like an engineer for a few minutes here.
What was accomplished has far greater effects than just a blackened hole that use to be a base in Syria, it has let the enemy know that they will be unable to stop an all out assault when and how we please if they continue the course they are on.
So yes, I have quite a bit of understanding concerning these matters, I’m by no means an expert, but I know a added benefit to an action when I see on from a war fighting standpoint.
“You really need to look at the big picture and stop thinking like an engineer for a few minutes here.”
You need to stop throwing phony credentials around and pretending you see a non-existent “big picture”.
You do NOT use a silver bullet, which EW tactics are, especially these days, unless you want a target gone.
The picture is that the Israeli’s were worried about the facility and the contents of the facility. They used what they had to use to eliminate it.
It’s really not that hard to see - there is no larger forest here. If you truly understood military training and tactics you’d know you do not use specialized, high-value, highly secret capabilities as a PsyOps exercise.
You use them when you need to have them.
The psychological impact on Syria and Iran was simply a collateral benefit. Unfortunately, next time the Syrians and Iranians will be that much more prepared for any EW activity headed their way.
That the Israeli’s thought this target was of such high value and importance is the main story here, even my simple, single-minded engineer brain gets that.
