Whatever f@$%ing idiot Suadi F-15jock would never have made it very far into Israeli airspace. Either our Awacs would have taged him or the IDF early warning radar.

We have no AWACS in that area, AFAIK. However the IDF has their own airborne radar systems. Both E-2 Hawkeyes and Phalcons, the later using an Israeli built phased array radar system on a 707 airframe. They are selling the same system to India, but on the Ilyushin IL-76 airframe. (Russia's A-50 AWACSkie is also based on the IL-76 as is China's attempt at an AWACS)

But you're correct. He'd be hog meat.
