Regarding that last, my question would how do the Israelis pull off what seems to be near immunity vs. the Russian systems?
Still, in most cases I would agree that there are less risky and less expensive methods to hit targets in Russian controlled airspace in Ukraine. 6 ATACMS pods on HIMARS launchers, plus a healthy supply of GLSDB’s, and Crimea becomes very tough for Russia to hold on to.
The Israelis have well developed SEAD tech and procedures also.
It’s not just a matter of having the airframes.
Also the Israelis aren’t facing the comprehensive air defense systems the Ukrainians would be.
