DEBKAfile's Iranian and intelligence sources disclose that Moscow warned Tehran Friday April 17 that Israel was planning to destroy all 140 fighter-bombers concentrated at the Mehr-Abad Air Force base for an air show over Tehran on Iran's Army Day the following day. The entire fleet was accordingly removed to remote bases and the display cancelled.
In the first week of April, Tehran announced it would stage its biggest air show ever to dramatize a ceremonial military parade in the capital on April 18. Iran would show the world that it is capable of fighting off an Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities. Instead only four aircraft flew over the saluting stand. Iranian media explained that the big show was cancelled due to "bad weather and poor visibility," when in fact Tehran basked in warm and sunny weather.
Moscow had informed the Iranians that its spy satellites and intelligence sources had picked up preparations at Israeli Air Force bases to destroy the 140 warplanes, the bulk of the Iranian air force, on the ground the night before the display, leaving its nuclear sites without aerial defense. A similar operation wiped out the entire Egyptian air fleet in the early hours of the 1967 war.
Or the White House. What if the plan for this [non-existent] operation was only revealed to The One? Sure way to confirm loose Kenyan lips.
It’s from DEBKA. It is made up bs.
Or the newly chastened CIA!
A "canary trap" a la Tom Clancy: Give each of the suspected spies a slightly different version of some dummy intel, and identify the canar[y|ies] by which version(s) leak. Oh, to be a fly on the wall at Mossad HQ! (A Hebrew-speaking fly, of course.)
Patton warned us, we should have taken care of Russia while we had the chance. They will always side with terrorists, especially in countries with oil. Never ever trust a Russian.
“If this is true, the implications would include (1) that there is no doubt that Israel is planning to go ahead with an attack sometime soon, and (2) that there are effective spies for Russia/Iran within the IDF. Stay tuned. “
Nah.. Satellite. If anything Russia is sharing intel with Iran. I believe that that will stop the day Iran pays Russia in full for the Nuke facilities.
More opening moves per Ezekiel 38-39.
Or, the Israeli Defense Forces know exactly how to manipulate Russian and Iranian intelligence forces and then watch how they react to get a better understanding how and when to attack them. It is called probing your enemies lines to see how they react.
And I wonder how many US pilots would abort their missions due to “aircraft malfunctions”?
It’s far more likely that the Iranian Air Force realized they had 140 planes that could not fly, so they needed a pretext to cancel the air show!!
Nahhhhh, I saw bob in Vegas last week...He’s had a pretty good run there...
Oh, good. I wondered what happened to him. He was sure good for a laugh...LOL.
Yes but the Russians doesn’t want the world to see how their much talked about advanced anti-air missiles preform. They’d loose much more in sales.
An Israeli attack like this would have made for some great YouTube videos.
lol
I still crack up when I see the Mel Brook’s “Jews in Space” bit...
You can’t make stuff like that up anymore...
If you can’t at least have a little fun and laugh at yourself, then what’s the use???
The fun with this is that it’s going to really sting the entire world that tells the Jewish people to just take more crap, and like it!
Payback’s a beoche’ ain’t it!
