The hump contains avionics gear
I wonder if that is the something special that they used to fly right through the Syrian radar when they hit the nuke facility. They are very good at upgrading existing designs. Back in the 67 war they rebuilt Sherman tanks with new engines and guns to the point that they could take on Egyptian T-55s and Jordanian M-60s and win.
If this gets hot they are going to need all the tricks they can get. Iran, Syria and Lebanon have them badly outnumbered and nearly surrounded. But most importantly they are very alone. There will be no emergency airlifts of ammunition from the US like there was in 1973. And China and Russia will ship the Syrians and Iranians anything they need. Lebanon and Syria might be screwed but Israel can't get at Iran easily. So if they can take the hammering for a few day they can simply fight with the plan of exhausting Israel's supply of ammo before they exhaust their supply of jihadists

What can be done?
