IS ISRAIL ON ITSELF CAPABLE OF ATTACKING IRANIAN NUCLEAR SITES…?

ISRAIL PLANNING TO ATTACK IRANIAN NUCLEAR SITES … THIS HAS BEEN A HOT TOPIC FOR LAST FEW YEARS BUT LETS SEE IF IDF IS REALLY CAPABLE OF ATTACKING AND DESTROYING THOSE SITES.

IN PAST IDF CARRIED OUT THREE OPERATIONS AGAINST THREE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES WITH WHICH IT DOESNOT SHARE A BORDER … THE FIRST MISSION WAS OPERATION THUNDERBALL IN 1976 WHICH WAS ACTUALLY A HOSTAGE RESCUE MISSION IN UGANDA WHIC H WAS HOSTILE TO ISRAIL. . SECOND OPERATION WAS OPERATION BABYLON IN 1981 WHICH WAS A SUCCESSFUL ISRAILI AIRFORCE STRIKE ON IRAQI NUCLEAR SITE IN ORISAK… THE THIRD ONE WAS IN 1998 A JOINT INDO ISRAIL PLAN TO ATTACK PAKISTANI NUCLEAR SITES BUT IT FAILED BECAUSE OF PAF INTERCEPTED THE JETS AND THEY WERE FORCED TO ABORT THE MISSION…. NOW THE FIRST TWO MISSIONS WERE SUCESSFULL BECAUSE THE OTHER SIDE WAS POORLY EQUIPPED AND NOT READY BUT ON OTHER HAND IRAN IS COMPARITIVELY MUCH MORE EQUIPPED AND POSSESES ENOUGH FIRE POWER TO REPELL SUCH ATTACKS… HERE IS SOME BRIEF LIST OF WEAPONSBOTH SIDES CAN USE AND PROBLEMS WHICH BOTH SIDE CAN HAVE IN CASE OF ATTACK AND I LEAVE TO THE READERS TO DECIDE IF ISRAIL IS CAPABLE OF CARRYING OUT SUCESSFULL OPERATION OR NOT,,,,

FIRST ISRAEL…

ISRAEL HAS F15 STRIKE EAGLES AND F16 FIGHTER JETS CAPABLE OF CARRYING GBU 27 AND GBU 28 LASER GUIDED BUNKER BUSTER BOMBS WHICH CAN PANETRATE 10 METRES OF CONCRETE …. THESE JESTS CAN ALSO CARRY AIR TO AIR MISSILES WITH RANGE OF UPTO 105 KM … WHICH MEANS THEY CAN SHOOT DOWN IRANIAN JETS FROM A DISTANCE OF 105KM…

NOW THE DISADVANTAGE HERE IS THAT THESE PLANES HAVE TO FLY PASS OTHER COUNTRIES AIRSPACE AND THESE PLANES CANNOT MAKE BACK ON YJEIR OWN THEY NEED REFULING FOR WHICH ISRAILIS HAVE C130 TANKERS WHICH CAN BE AN EASY TARGET FOR IRANIAN AF….

NOW IRAN

IRAN HAS 20 F14 TOMCATS WHICH ARE MOST PROBABLY NOT IN GOOD CONDITION AND ALSO HAS ALMOST 40 MIG 29 A/UB

IRAN ALSO POSSESES S 300 AND TOR SAM SYSTEMS WHICH HAS RANGE OF 17 AND 7.5 MILES RESPECTIVELY…..

IF IRANIANS MANAGE TO MAKE THEIR PLANES AIRBORNE THEN THEIR JETS WILL BE ARMED WITH AIM 54 PHENIX AND VYMPEL R 27-R MISSILES WHICH HAVE RANGE OF 180AND 130 KM…. THE F14 MAY NOT BE ANY MATCH FOR THE F15S AND F16 BUT THE IRANIAN MID29 ARE UPGRADED UNOUGH TO FIGHT THE ISRAILI JETS…

THE ISRAILI F15 WILL ATLEST HAVE TO BE 10 MILES FROM THEIR TARGETS TO DROP THEIR LASER GUIDED BOMBS NOW IF IRANIAN SAM SYSTEMS ARE UNABLE TO SHOOT THEM DOWN BEFORE THEY COME WUTHIN 10 MILES OF TARGETS THEN ITS ALMOST GAME OVER FOR IRNIANS BUT AS I HAVE GIVEN THE SAM RANGE AND TARGET ENGAGING DETAILS THEY ARE CAPABLE OF SHOOTIN ISRAILI BIRDS BEFORE THEY ENTE INTO THE 10 MILE RELESE ZONE….. NOW THATS THE STORY AND NOW I LEAVE THE DECISION TO THE READERS TO DECIDE IF ISRAIL CAN ACTUALLY CARRY OUT A SUCESSFULL OPERATION..
