Israel giving intel on Russia's Iranian drones to Ukraine - report
Jerusalem Post ^

Posted on 10/16/2022 3:51:39 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

Israel has been providing Ukraine with "basic intelligence" on the Iranian drones used by Russia in its invasion, The New York Times said on Wednesday.

A senior Israeli official reportedly told the Times about the intelligence sharing, and that a private Israeli firm was also giving Ukraine satellite imagery of Russian troop positions.

"We are told that there are allegedly no Iranian drones in Ukraine. Well, we’ll find ways to ensure that there aren't any left, indeed."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Russia's use of Iranian drones Russian forces have been using several variants of Iranian drones in its Ukraine campaign since at least August, Ukrainian, American and UK officials have confirmed in separate intelligence reports.

In particular, Moscow has been using the Shahed-136 suicide drone. However, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has seen limited success.

"These UAVs are slow and fly at low altitudes, making lone aircraft easy to target using conventional air defenses," said the UK Defense Ministry on Wednesday, but noting that "there is a real possibility that Russia has achieved some success by attacking with several UAVs at the same time."

Comrade, that’s stupid.

Trying to make a moral equivalency argument to the unprovoked invasion by Russia of the Ukraine, sovereign nation, to Israel’s limited actions (and leaving promptly) into a non-nation to stop terror missile attacks by whackos is weak sauce, even for the FSB.

Keep it up, and you all will start enjoying at home the joy a sophisticated enemy can do with 1000s of expats who look Russian, speak native Russian, have the latest toys, and have access to everything and everywhere in Russia can do.

I was wrong on that one, I'd have figured the next gen was a year out...

We just saw what 100 of the Gerans can do and Russians are in the process of taking possession of 2400 more of those as well. What happened last Monday was just an experiment...

Moral equivalence? LOL. If you are in Israel, check out its history and the role of the Russian diplomacy in its creation. It is worth evaluating why exactly Israel has become so successful lately, even though it was a war-ridden third world hell hole just 40 years ago. What do you think it Russia’s role in it and what is going to happen once Russia drops pro-Israel’s stance and returns to the support of your neighbors? Tell me two reasons why it shouldn’t happen.

You must know about the Iron Beam. The new Israeli laser that will deal with Iranian drone swarms. Each laser blast costs only $2. This is the wholesale price of course. Not retail.
