Israel attacks Gaza Strip
- Thread starter DPRKUnderground
- Start date
Oh brother...First off could the Russians even muster a fleet to go to Syria? are there any actual news reports of such a move?...
As for what the IAF could do to any fleet sabre rattling off it's coast. Well simply they would load up F-15's with JDAM's and start an attack. Very simple. The attack may come in at a high level to help negate any AAM's that will be fired....I got bad news for the Russian fleet if this does occur. JDAM's do not miss.
When those 2000lb(907kg) JDAM's hit a ship the results would be devastating. Sinkings would occur.
Very nice website about the IAF;
Check these pics of what a JDAM can do to ruin your sea going holiday.
During the Resultant Fury exercise conducted late November, 2004, the US Air Force trialed the use of AMSTE-modified 2,000 lb JDAM guided bombs, with datalink updates from an E-8C JSTARS, and laser guided 2,000 lb GBU-10/BLU-109 bombs targeted by a Litening II pod on a B-52H. left - former USN LST Schenectady takes a hit by multiple JDAMs; right - damage effect produced by JDAM hits on waterline. The vessel sank 1.5 hrs later.
Uhh..by the way..War Sucks....

No telling what sort of weaponary Hezbollah has aquired. They could have gotten it from Iran or Syria as you have suggested. Certianly no unguided rocket thay have could have hit the IDF gunboat. That is quite a small target. A guided missile would be need to attack it if indeed the target boat was moving. Now if it was stationary I think a unguided rocket hay have hit it....Question still is ..If Hezbollah did use a guided missle..Where the hell did they get it???..Iran is my guess.
War Sucks..but I keep watching it on Tv...

Err..... right. Russia is only about 10000x the size of Israel and 100x as powerful.
How can a JDAM hit a moving target??? It's just a dumb bomb that has its accuracy enhanced by GPS.
Besides, Russian antiship missiles are still more capable and more numerous than those of the USA

Maybe the patrol boat was really close to shore and got hit with a TOW missile. Hezbullah has plenty of those types of missiles in its arsenal.
Well as the discussion heats up few things you all need to remember:
1. No warmongering. Cut out all comments based on your own obinios like "Israel shoud teach the bloody terrorist a lesson..." and "Hizbollah should attack more on Israeli civilians to revenge the blood of...". So basicly try to leave your own obinions a side.
2. Keep your scenarios realistic. Not this kind of: "Russian navy is going to come help Syrians..." or "No USA has 18939 ships and they will sink them all down.." counter arguments nor the inevidable counter-counter arguments "But russian nuclear subs are going to come...." We dont' want that eternity struggle in this thread.
3. The classic struggle between the Israels right to exist or the palestinians right to attack agaisnt their opressors...It's the worst example of useless political arguing that wont lead us anywhere.
If I spot any violations over this new rules or things that are par wiht spirit of the law, those trespassers will be punished and this thread is going to get closed. So If you want to discuss, play nicely...

Roger that Golly.....Yea Crazy, I am leaning towards some sort of Wire guided missile. Maybe the Israeli boat got a little over confident and got to close to the shore to get some good shots with its gun. Other than that maybe a really lucky rocket. I also think if Israel is sending its Helo gunships that far up they are gonna also start taking losses.

True that. Hezbullah does have some nasty heat seekers such as SA-16's. But they just have to keep the helicopters out of range...can an Apache-64 climb an altitude of above 3 miles and still be combat effective?
crazy, I have never seen an AH-64 up that High while fighting. sometimes you will see one running high painting targets for the others but never more than 500 feet or so. The American gunship crews at times think they are tanks and use their 30mm alot. I think they get high from the adrenaline rush and that's why they get so close:roll: Myself I liked to stay back out of harm until almost "flashing zeros" on the range finder and hit targets with my main gun. close bad....far away good....cheers ute
