Hypothetical: Initial Israeli F-15 strike on Iran’s nuclear installations

[Peaceful Civilian]

War is not a solution.
Iran need to get Good SAMS and latest aircraft.
Israel need aircraft inventory in numbers.
This is high Possibility that Israel will attack on only Nuclear Facilities but it will declare Open war.
Iran has good submarines and frigates which is great threat for Israel.
Muslim countries will remain Neutral as usual.
If U.S, France,or U.K support this war then the stance of Russia, china will have unique importance.

No doubt Saudi arab will continue to give Oil for U.S and their aircraft's.

Stance of India will be interesting, They are more towards America these days, hence also effects the Indo Russia partnership.

Yes the Americans will love to forget about that incident lest the demons come to haunt them if they jointly attack Iran with Israel

Actually they learnt pretty well from their mistakes and adapted newer and better tactics, resulting in one of the most audacious and successful raids till date : Operation Neptune Spear!

As for your second point, I think not. US will NOT join Israel for an attack on Iran. Too messy fallout in regional politics. Remember, US did not use Israeli assets in in GW-I or OIF or OEF or for Afghanistan.

Iranian solution is:

Strategy:Give arms to Hezbullah/Hammas and they take down Israeli fighter jets in air base before flying
Fighter jets they can buy and afford with approx: Mig-29 (2 sqn), JF-17 (5 sqn), J-10 (2 sqn). The rest can be as it is F-5s, F-14s...
SAMs: S-300 in numbers
Cruise Missile: Brahmos (If Russia sells without Indian approval)

But even then it takes one well aimed shot from an RPG to take down a helicopter full of Elite Seals as the Americans found out in Afghanistan

The following drawing, exclusively prepared by Al Clark for The Aviationist, shows how an attack by a formation of F-15Is on a nuclear facility located in downtown Tehran might look like.

Obviously, it is only a fictional scene, however it is quite realistic for an eventual strike on the Tehran Nuclear Research Center, that is located not far from the Milad Tower, clearly visible on the background.

Someone might argue that the first and most of strikes would be launched at night. That is true, but it is quite likely that subsequent missions would be flown during daylight conditions too. Even the surroundings of the Nuclear Research Center are probably a bit different from those depicted, the payload could be different, and so on, but please take it just as an interesting artwork.

A) They shouldn't be carrying drop tanks when they enter Iran.

B) If they fly that low and use unguided bombs, they're dead. Period. Iran has plenty of short range air defenses which will make mincemeat of any low-altitude fighter.

C) The Tehran Nuclear Research Center does not enrich uranium and would not be a part of any hypothetical nuclear weapons program. THe only thing bombing it would achieve is to kill a bunch of civilians due to radiation leakage.

And you should know that USA and israel have always killed as many as civilians as possible, in order to show that they are world power and they dont care about Muslims being killed....

 

[tvsram1992]

Iran needs to do get its air force powerful. They should go for JF-17s and J-10s.
Its such a beautiful country and i just hope they try to cause least damage as possible
Iran Zameen Zindabad!

Come on buddy Grow up .
You think Iran will go fighting with planes rather than shooting them down?

 

[Donatello]

Hi,


This is too hypothetical to be hypothetical............if F-15s are flying so low, they will get shot down.......secondly, Iran wouldn't be having it's nuke facilities in the middle of cities....

 

[Pfpilot]

Still don't understand the reasoning for an Iranian Nuclear program. If the idea was to gain leverage and garauntee peace through the concept of MAD, then why has Iran been the one proclaiming death to everyone from US to Israel. Pakistan needed nukes to counter an adversary at it's doorstep. On the other hand, Israel is nowhere close enough to Iran to have been a legitimate threat, were the Iranians not engaging in political rhetoric, calling for the destruction of a whole nation. Now what do they expect? The Israelis will just sit around while the iranians openly flaunt their Nuclear program, while simultaneously threatening ill will against Israel. If the Iranians feel their only safety lies in nuclear weapons, then they have no one to blame but themselves...equally, gaining nuclear weapons will only put a larger target on their back, contradicting the very reason they claim to be acquiring these weapons.

 

[Dazzler]

they are itching to ignite the World War 3, i am telling you this, attack on Iran is as good as initiating a world war because the whole region will fall apart but then Yanks/ Israelis want it this way for many years now. Mess in Pakistan is also a part of the sme plan. But Iran will not be a cake walk for them. Unlike Iraq and Scud combo, Iran has some serious missile Armada that can hit any corner in Israel and not all can be stopped by Thaads or Arrows.

I am going underground folks

 

[Pak47]

They can't do it, so resort to drawing pictures..

 

[Dazzler]

Iranian Nuke program is more on the civilian side than military. IF they decide to go for military program today, it will take them at least 4-5 years to make a nuke, this date is ambitious. I do not think they are going for Nukes but Yank/ Israel combo has decided to repeat the Iraq story. Strike with propaganda than say "Ooops, we messed up again".

 

[Dazzler]

I recommend Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski's book "The Grand Chessboard", he is the master of Chess games in US and the mastermind behind Soviet debacle.

Outcome... Holocaust 2 , again being a hypothetical assumption there will be one
