Is there a point to this rant about media? The US media also reported the same thing, which Syria claimed. As for the F-35, Israel acknowledged one was damaged by supposed bird strike.
US Media never reported such things, at most they reported "Syria claims ..."
Yes, it was a birdstrike, but you Russians and Syrians tried to sieze that opportunity, stating that baseless claim that it was shot down by the S-200.
What is your point about a few cruise missiles? Tomahawks have also had malfunctions in the past. Just the other week an F-35s landing gear collapse, Israeli Patriots couldn't shoot down a Russian drone and neither could Israeli F-15s so your point is mute and deviating from the topic.
Israel would have a low success rate in stopping a saturated cruise/ballistic missile attack with decoys. It's life.
Those Tomahawks clearly had no issue embarrassing you and Assad, all you could do is claim you shot them all down but the damage was already done. We already shot down Russian drones, the only reason we couldn't shoot down the drone was because the drone was small, flew in a low speed and in a low altitude.
Israel already can identify between different types of
Air dominance means nothing when submarines are involved. f-16, F-15 and F-35 aircraft cannot prevent submarines from sinking ships and other submarines.
Air dominance can clear your surface fleet which allows our surface fleets, submarines and other anti-submarine warfare vehicles to move freely against yours.
No they can't. Many problems with what you claim:
1. Most modern Russian ships have anti air capabilities. F-35s can not carry enough anti ship munitions to do anything significant even if it can reach those ships. Good luck sinking 360+ naval vessels with a handful of F-35s.
2. Israel has a small handful of F-35s, at least 15-20% would be down for maintenance.
3. F-35s don't have the range to reach Russian surface vessels in the Mediterranean, Caspian or Black Sea nor would anyone allow Israel to use their airspace to attack Russia.
5. If Israeli F-35 would go through Iran to reach the Caspian Sea they would need a lot of aerial refuelers, thus they would not have the element of surprise and some Israeli aircraft, would be shot down.
How many ships do you have in the Mediterranean ? one JDAM is enough to destroy a ship, or at least put it out of combat service. Of course an F-35 can reach your ship, it has a 1,200 kilometer combat radius with 2 tons of bombs carried internally, and that's without midair refueling, and don't forget Israel has standoff weapons with over 250km range. This is 1,200km:
I'm pretty sure the ships those pose threat against Israel are within that range.
We don't need to reach the Caspian or the Black Sea, and besides, in such a war, which will indefinitely become a world war, Israel will be allied with other nations that would totally allow Israel to strike the areas you've mentioned, if not strike them by themselves
Russia could probably destroy 4 Dolphin submarines with just unmanned Poseidon submarines. Those Israeli Dolphins also have limited endurance so Israel is in no position to 'deal' with 62 Russian submarines and a naval fleet of 362 vessels. The Israeli navy has no endurance to confront the Russian navy nor does the Israeli airforce. Russia can lob cruise and ballistic missiles from thousands of km away and there is nothing Israel can do about it.
Russia could use these nuclear powered drones. Russia is lightyears ahead of Israel in naval technology and this is only what Russia wants to show.
Of course it can.
Tell me, how many of those 62 submarines and 362 vessels are anywhere near Israeli shores?
How many can Russia afford to send to Israel, considering the fact that you have to protect such a big area with those ships? Compared to your size, your navy is TINY. We don't need to protect a lot of territory, thus we don't need a huge navy.
Utter nonsense, Israel has 4 operational submarines. Russia has 62. Israeli has no access to the Caspian or Black Sea so even if Israel wanted to attack the Russian navy it wouldn't be able to. Russia has better submarines and much more of them including other naval assents that Israel lacks.
Those US ships shadowed by Russian submarines could easily be Israeli:
Again, how many of those 62 can you send? Your navies pose no threats in the Caspian or Black Sea, cruise missiles would be answered by cruise missiles and our air defenses. Who told you Russia have better submarines? Your submarines are known to be good for nuclear radiation, nothing more.
I bet those US ships were aware of your submarines, it's just that they had no legitimization to blow it up. You aren't at war, why are you so proud at achieving a glance at American destroyer?
