Israel is ready for battle: what is behind the development of the destruction of the S-400 air defense system

August 17 2020 52

On October 18 this year, the UN Security Council embargo on arms supplies to Iran may expire. If the United States does not provide for an extension of the ban (which, however, looks unlikely), the Islamic Republic will be able to acquire new modern weapons from Moscow and Beijing. Given this possibility, Israel is conducting exercises to practice the destruction of the Russian S-400 air defense system. Breaking Defense writes about it.

On August 2, the United States and Israel conducted a second Enduring Lightning exercise aimed at improving the air and ground strike capabilities of the fifth generation F-35 fighter. Israeli F-35Is trained alongside American F-35A from the 421st Expeditionary Fighter Squadron, supported by the Israel Air Force Nachshon guidance and control aircraft. During the exercise, the response to ground-to-air threats was practiced - this made it possible to improve the quality of destruction of a complex air defense system and enemy fighters before attacking ground targets.

The Enduring Lightning II scenario accurately reflects what American and Israeli pilots might face in battle if Tehran buys new air defenses and fighter aircraft from Moscow or Beijing. The F-35 will have to be able to successfully counter Iranian anti-aircraft systems to facilitate direct or remote strikes against ground targets.

The concern of Israel and its allies about Iran's growing military capabilities is well founded. Iran has already invested in modernized Russian air defense systems such as the S-300. In 2019, Tehran also planned to acquire the S-400, which was refused by Moscow. But if the arms embargo is suspended, Russia will be able to sell Iran the most advanced air defense systems, as well as fighters and other weapons systems.

The Kremlin will surely find an active buyer in Tehran. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Zarif visited Moscow twice in July 2020, and Iranian Ambassador Qasem Jalali bluntly stated that the country is seeking to "strengthen its defense potential" by purchasing weapons from Moscow.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has called on Russia and China to counter US efforts to extend the arms embargo. All of this makes the Enduring Lightning II military exercise and other similar maneuvers more important than ever. Perhaps the UAE will also take part in the next exercises of the United States and Israel.

The Russian Federation can sell weapons to Iran in defiance of Israel, if only because Israel supplies weapons to Ukraine, which claims to be at war with Russia.

  Doing anything against it is the stupidest policy. Ukraine does not seem to use the purchased weapons against Russia. Or is there something we don't know? If it is in Russia's interests to supply missile weapons to Iran, then no one will prohibit it from doing this after the embargo expires. The question is - how much does Russia need it? Feeding an ISLAMIC country in the hope that it will only bite your enemies is naive.
  To see a friend in Iran and an enemy in Israel is no longer naive, it is stupid.

If Tehran buys new air defenses and fighter aircraft from Moscow or Beijing, the F-35 will have to be able to successfully counter Iranian anti-aircraft systems to facilitate direct or remote attacks on ground targets.

Yes, but if these "air defense systems" are located on the territory of Iran, then they will be inaccessible to delivering remote strikes (as they do from the territory of Lebanon). And for a direct strike, the Israelis would first have to overcome the air defenses of Syria or Iraq. Or does someone believe that these two states will silently contemplate the passage of missiles, or planes flying with missiles over their territory?
This idea looks somehow poorly implemented.

        I meant Lebanon's neutrality with Syria and other states. Syria, not being in a state of war with Lebanon, cannot afford to shoot down any flying objects in its airspace. In international practice, this would be tantamount to declaring war.

Others are only now agreeing with the idea that they can hate Israel as much as they want, but it is completely unprofitable to fight with it, and even on the contrary, you can get a good thing in the form of the F-35. It goes to that. And on the example of one sheikh, another will say: why am I worse? The most stubborn, today sit up to their ears in blood and their own shit, and still yell about the destruction of "Zionist education" (one of them has already been hanged ...) But there were miraculous countries. There are a thousand explanations for why Israel is winning wars over and over again, with no resources, no large army, no deep rear. For example, the mantra that the Arabs are stupid and do not know how to fight, I personally believe in help from the "top" ... But this is mine, purely personal.

The points. I didn't understand what kind of support you are writing about.
Further. From the airspace of Lebanon (which, like Syria, is at war with us), targets are attacked due to the peculiarities of the relief. Not more. Once again, the Syrians are well aware of this and open fire on planes. Everything else is tales about the prohibition to shoot and the reason for war (?!), Especially about political reasons (?!) On the conscience of naive people.
About how Israeli planes are covered by civilian sides - indicate when and what claims were made against Israel by ICAO and how they are related to attacks on targets in Syria. All the talk that the Israelis are hiding behind civilian aircraft (especially the IL-20) do not stand up to criticism and are being conducted at the level of an information war. Not more.

  Well, it is clear that to admit such facts would mean automatically to recognize oneself as a criminal state. We must pay tribute, Israel very exquisitely fulfills all kinds of dirty war technologies. Everyone sees and understands this, but it's actually difficult to prove.
  Even in the Western press from time to time there are reports of criminal tricks of the Israeli military, but the topic is not developed for obvious reasons.
  But this will change when, sooner or later, Israel loses support from overseas.

All the talk about the Israelis hiding behind civilian aircraft (especially the Il-20) does not stand up to criticism and is being conducted at the level of an information war. Not more.

Well, it is clear that to admit such facts would mean automatically to recognize oneself as a criminal state. We must pay tribute, Israel very exquisitely fulfills all kinds of dirty war technologies. Everyone sees and understands this, but it's actually difficult to prove.
Even in the Western press from time to time there are reports of criminal tricks of the Israeli military, but the topic is not developed for obvious reasons.
But this will change when, sooner or later, Israel loses support from overseas.
You will also have your "Nuremberg", and maybe even worse - they simply will not have time to save you from "lynching" by the peoples around you.

Facts in the studio! Otherwise, these are just accusations at the level of propaganda.
The argument - even in the Western press - brought a smile.
Note that if you read about the tricks of the Russian military, then your methods are the dirtiest, and the technologies are vile, and in general, Russia is to blame for everything, that's who the biggest criminal is ...
In a dispute, it is better to cite facts, rather than speculation.

  Wow, how formidable!)))
  "Gifts to the studio!")
  Yes on you!
  
  Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov told TASS that the Israeli General Staff has recently regularly used civilian planes with people "to cover or block the response of the Syrian air defense forces," and this is already becoming a characteristic feature of the Israeli Air Force.

    Konashenkov as an argument! Do you have such humor? 99% of what he voices does not hold water. Simple examples are the MiG-29 of unknown origin, which shot down a Malaysian Boeing, the Su-25, which shot down the same Boeing, 70 CR out of 68 launched by the Americans fell, and like a cherry, an F-16 hiding behind silt (so a wild version technically that except for a smile from people who understand at least a little about the work of air defense, it does not cause).

  Why?
  I personally do not smile. I read the Western press every day. Next time, when they write again, I will specially copy the reference, and poke you there with your smart nose. What do you say then?

  Now you give me the facts! In order not to be considered a balabol here.

    Be careful when reading! I just wrote that they write a lot. It is not speculation that should be discussed, but facts.
    About the argument - even in the Western press - you can find EVERYTHING in the Western press, especially about Israel and Russia, here the Western press has a similar approach.

If it is in Russia's interests to supply missile weapons to Iran

Iran does not need missile weapons.
But complex air defense systems for near-medium-long range zones, aviation, electronic warfare, tanks, TFRs and frigates - yes.

This is where you are wrong. I note that the air defense systems you mentioned are also missile weapons. Therefore, in November, the arms embargo is lifted, but the missile embargo remains, however, for offensive systems. For another 3 years.
