The way it worked (failed) the other night they might as well use a slingshot.

There appears to be some accuracy to the idea that they (apartheid state) didn't go full on to intercept but as Postol said the odds aren't good anyway. I love seeing their myths get exposed.

As far back as the 90's it had been shown the Patriot system was dreadful:

If Postol thinks it's going to get a lot worse....it's bad news.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

What I like about Ted Postol is that he gives an accurate picture of reality vs. BS which is derived by maths and logic. It seems that his thesis holds judging by the photographic evidence.

If Postol thinks it's going to get a lot worse....it's bad news.

I am about half-way through, I'll check that out. Ta.

re: evidence of damage. It seems like they hit a lot of what they wanted to and the various claims posted earlier are firming up and, surpise, the zionists have been lying again.

I would love it if they really did torch a whole bunch of F35s.

Me too. Alas .. there was only one areal photo of a single aircraft shelter that had a direct hit. Consider a possibility that shelter was vacant ; ) .. i.e. 50/50. Don't forget that Iranians have given Israel a warning about 2 hours before the strike. They were being nice .. this time too.

Ted speculated that this particular shelter could hold an AWAC plane. Need to check with him later since I would have thought that an AWAC plane is substantially larger than F35. Wait and see.

The wingspan is the thing ..

There were 7 odd shelters in a row. It was the second Northernmost shelter that was hit. Thinking about logic .. it is not likely that Israelis would build 7 odd shelters for AWACs. It wouldn't make sense.

Proof in the pudding ..

See this:

https://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/compare-aircraft-results.php?aircraft1=1177&aircraft2=23

Used 747 as AWAC .. and even if it is smaller as an aircraft to what the actual AWAC is likely to be (a bit), in comparison to F35, there is still a vast difference.

In engineering terms you wouldn't use a sledge-hammer instead of fly-swatter i.e. why use vast resources to over-build the shelter? The cost difference is .. quite substantial.

There are pics online with what looks like the tail fins of a plane sticking out this particular hangar btw.

On other matters I looked up one day a couple of weeks ago at a strange noise and there was a seriously bizarre plane in the sky.

Never seen anything like it... Secondary wings on the nose...delta shaped mains and...prop driven?

Anywise Google tells me it was a "Beechcraft Starship" of which apparently there are only six examples left flying worldwide.

Is this before or/and after the attack? $90 million fwiw. High value. Glad to hear it may have been the recipient of the missile. Please confirm.

Ah! too much perusing...

-It was actually in the above. .."One hangar was hit which, in a previous satellite photo, had the tail of what looks like a fighter craft sticking out of it..."

-Had me searching mind for where I had seen it...silly billy.
