Israeli F 35's Fly Over Iran

And Russia's most sophisticated radar never spotted them. Check it out:

if they were smart they wouldnt brag about it. it is absolutely stupid to tell your adversary you have a specific advantage.

Or you haven't done it and have your enemy spending resources on a "ghost" flight. "What was that bump in the night we thought we heard???"

+1 to Sam...

Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Israeli procurement is the result of an agreement for the government of Israel to procure the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II for the Israeli Air Force. The first Israeli F-35s will become operational in the Israeli Air Force in 2019.[1]

Seems a stretch that a F-35 would be sent over Iranian airspace.

Red. According to the Jerusalem Post they have 7 of them operational already. And they did fly a couple of them over Iran. The Russians also have some their newest fighter aircraft in Syria. This is a very dangerous situation and could get much worse is a couple of these planes get into a scrap.

Maybe Israel is feeling left out and wanted to shake the tree?

Would be interesting to say the least and a lot depends on who is flying the Ruskie aircraft. Israel is always ready for just about anything the enemy tosses out.

Got to keep Iran guessing. Did they or didn't they?

The best way to keep them guessing is to keep the whole thing secret -- it's crazy to do something like that and brag about it!

[m1ashooter]

Vern if you tell them you did when in fact you didn't then they start second guessing themselves and their people. Disinformation is an art form.

yeah but lies like that make them actually improve their equipment, better that they just dont know.

You have a point there.

Israel. Iran. No matter as long as they do whatever they do among themselves. None of our business. Long as it stays between them, fine. They want to play stupid games, they can win stupid prizes. Can't see that either one of them are worth the price of a fight. Israel has no oil, etc. Sooner or later they will have to come to terms or they'll end up crispy critters. JMHO. Sincerely. bruce.

These are OUR planes (that we sold them) and a direct reflection on our capability. A lot of country's want these planes including Turkey which I feel is a big NO-NO.
