Are we really surprised that such a precision attack was carried out by the best Air Force on the planet?

Is this the same "Best Air Force in the world" that, with shocking regularity, has managed to shoot up Friendly Forces in every recent operational theatre?

Some would say that your statement is somewhat sweeping?

Al Jazeera's English website is not reporting this, at least based on my searches of the site. Can anyone else find it?


I gotcha covered big T.

Translated linky thingy.

SO this whole thing is based on an "unnamed businessman"?

"The businessman, who asked not to be identified - in an exclusive statement to the island's Net - that the process was the participation of two strategic bombers vehicle sticking small tactical nuclear bombs, aircraft squadron They were accompanied by Israeli F-15, F-16, took responsibility for control and protection"

so wheres the fallout then......


ever single above ground detonation , ever , including the 100 ton warheads from the bazooka`s has left fallout.


edit:

www.sonicbomb.com...

that video is of the `little feller 1` test using the bazooka with the warhead set at 18 tons (the W54 warhead is dial-a-yield from 10 to 250 tons equivilent explosive power) see that dust? thats highly radioactive and of course will drift away and land as fallout...

But who's going to report the readings? I doubt that Israel or the US is going to do another "deep penetration" to get readings from the site.


It'll eject particulates which you can pick up with an air sampler.

You can spot things you wouldn't believe; they're incredibly sensitive.

It could well have been two Spirit B1 bombers with the new mods that allow them to carry the MOABS or the BIg BLU bombs....?
Thjey would be STRATEGIC aircraft....
the fighters are TACTICAL weapons actually....
These MOABs are sufficiently powerful to knock a site likr that pretty flat....20,000lbs or so.....one huge concussion bomb...
These are precision guided weapons and they could easily be what they refer to as missles......

Perhaps you need to read up a little on war crimes. Your definition seems rather loose.

Here's a good article to start with.

Using Al-Jazzera as a credible news source is pretty much a joke. I find it improbable that tactical nukes were used for several reasons but most importantly NO RADIATION reported anywhere in the surrounding area's. No radiation means no nuke. Really simple.
