It's looking like a technology war between Israel and Iran, Iran trying to get within 40 years of the state of the art, and Israel to keep it from doing so. Apparently, it's easier to smash than to prevent smashing. I wonder how much each side is not saying. An aircraft the size of a 373 and "capable of carrying hundreds of kilograms" of payload already sounds an awful lot like a bomber. You don't need hundreds of kilograms of equipment to spy on the mullahs sun-bathing!
ReplyDeleteSince the US seems to have decided to sit this one out, it may all be up to Israel. If the mullorcacy does not end up collapsing in revolution, the Arabs may have something for which to thank Israel. Not that they will, of course.
