JCage, SOC at AFM had pretty good pic of the Syrian radars' overlapping coverages based on Google Earth pics and open source knowledge about the types and locations of the Syrian radars. The Syrians have a networked AD radar network, had it for a few years, IIRC. The only question is the level of in...

The Kh-31 is easier to counter iirc since it is an air launched unit What's easier to detect? A ~5sqm RCS fighter or a 100+sqm RCS ship? and the key takeaway was to take out the launching platform at range, and then employ both softkill and hardkill measures.. That's the philosophy against any shoo...

No doubt that the SA-5/6 was utterly compromised, no surprises there.

More impressive, if true, is the suggestion that the Israelis hacked into the network that the Syrian ADGES system communicates on.

There's always more than one way to skin a cat. Can't jam the radar? Hack into its WAN...

Where? Latest I've read is that the Iranian funded S-300 radar that was installed in Syria was compromised by US and Israelis.

Still the tomohawk can be stopped by decent air defences let alone S-300/400. Alegedly, the S-300 was caught with its pants down recently.

Shiv, if you want the simple trivial answer, it's that the Formidable is the newest corvette in the IOR that has the typical hallmarks of what a modern warship, that's entering service in 2007, should have: LO features, reduced manning, network connectivity, crew comforts, hard/soft kill features, e...

It has come to this because the 800 million might as well be 800 groups of 1 million each. The 800 million are a divided lot and the "real players" are taking advantage of that. It's the same old story.

I think the NASA Voyager craft used a small nuke reactor. The FSU might have also launched a few with nuke reactors as well.
