Why do that?

You're on a Military Aviation thread and you're seriously posing that question?
Wouldnt you be more at home on The Canary or Skwawkbox?

You're plainly not even the remotest bit concerned about their proxy, HizbAllah playing a very active part in the goings on in Syria, under the direction of Assad's Ba'athists, then?

Or is it only a "war crime" when it suits - like when Americans and Israeli's are involved?

Bomb them back to the Stone Age...really?

Would not require much bombing to do that would it?

[golder]

With all the stuff that would probably do it better. Why would they send a block 3i f-35 on a reccy?

1. The stealth bomber is the B-2. The F-35 is not a bomber by any stretch of the imagination. It is, however, an aircraft that can carry weapons. I invite you to check out the F-35 Cancellation thread in this very sub forum for detailed discussion on how many bombs can be carried in stealth mode by an F-35. (So far, not much of a load).

2. Why indeed send strike aircraft over Iranian airspace? I won't offer to answer that question for two reasons: (a) it was a rhetorical question (b) others have provided some answers.

3. Rhetorical question for you: did they really send a few over, or is this whole thing OPDEC? (Or is it even a simple wind up?).

If you believe the story at all. Personally I believe to be a totally made up story by the Arab press.

[Lonewolf_50]

ORAC, am I to believe that this Kuwaiti newspaper has better radar than the Iranian air defense system, or might this be ** shudder ** real fake news?

[ORAC]

The Arab street and press be a continuous source and reporter of both conspiracy theories and fake news?

Perish the thought.....

Quite piratical, actually.

This "very American way of thinking" is clearly shared by the RAF.

Really? You pretend not to understand? But OK, let's play your game. Assuming this indeed happen, to demonstrate they can do so whenever they choose and demonstrate that the Iranian nuclear facilities are at risk of immediate destruction.

And no, they were not "American "stealth" bombers. Yes, they were manufactured in America, but they are owned and operated by the Israeli Air Force, the military air arm of another sovereign nation.

And BTW, Yehudis is a plural form of the slur you chose to use to refer to a nation of nearly 8.5 million.

Correct on all counts there Ken....

and we don't need that language.....

Unless I missed something in the translation...F-35’s cannot carry those rather large and heavy penetrators needed to destroy underground nuclear facilities the Iranians have so many of currently.

The bomb truck of choice for that task is the B-1 which the USAF has not shared with anyone.

As opposed to..... The US press... pot, kettle black......

The newspaper that published this particular story is 'understood' to be something of an Israeli conduit into the Arab world, which is why the report is being lent so much credence.

The MOP is carried by the B-2.

[SASless]

My mistake...Old Timers catching up with me.....I was thinking B-2 but typed B-1!

[melmothtw]

Well, your point about only the USAF flying it still stands, so no foul...
