The Iranian military claimed it, I believe.
If the dome was hit on Aug 1, no matter who did it, and there is a hole in the containment dome (rendering its’ containment capabilities rather suspect), why are the Russkies talking about loading fuel into that reactor?
Makes no sense.

Apparently an F-4 did crash, both pilots reportedly ejected, and it was 4 miles from the city. Nothing about the reactor getting hit.
Interesting.
Thanks.
lol I didn’t even check before I dove into the text like a UAV hitting a reactor :)
Who says dome was breached?
LOL
No one backed Israel’s destruction of Saddam’s reactor.
anyone with the smarts to fly a Phantom should know that
Busheir is most likely a no fly zone.
Dimona is like that, and the Israelis have taken out at least one of their own IAF MirageIII for violating the
restricted airspace.
That is why I think that the Iranian AF flew this plane over there to check out the defenses. Plane and pilot were expendable.
must suck being 'inspector 12' at the body armor factory...
IMO fuel rods are on site now. They get installed the 21st.
IDF has a NLT date time margin than 24 hours from now to destroy the site.
According to the article it was a manned F-4. Yeah the Iranians would do that, send a live pilot because nothing simulates a live pilot’s evasive reactions like a live pilot. As close as he got it looks like the missile defense is not so good.
