Air defense of Israel brought into full combat readiness against the background of a probable war with Iran

December 4 2020 55

Senior Israel Defense Forces officers have held talks with the United States Armed Forces Central Command in the past few days to coordinate joint action in the event of an Iranian strike. Tehran threatens to attack Israel for its involvement, from the Iranian point of view, in the assassination of leading Iranian nuclear physicist Mohsen Fahridzadeh on November 27, Breaking Defense writes.

According to media reports, the IDF has reached a very high-quality level in protecting the territory of Israel from possible air attacks, which could be carried out by the pro-Iranian Lebanese movement Hezbollah or the Yemeni Houthis. The air defense systems of the Israeli army at all levels - tactical, operational and strategic - are brought to full combat readiness and are able to repel the onslaught of the enemy.

It is assumed that the Yemeni Houthis may carry out an attack against Israel. Previously, these armed formations fired at the territory of Saudi Arabia using Iranian-made Quds-1 cruise missiles. However, their range is not enough to hit targets on the territory of the Jewish state. Nevertheless, Iran has in its arsenal much more long-range missile launchers, such as Meshkat or Soumar, capable of covering a distance of 2000 km. It is possible that these weapons are already in the hands of the Houthis.

If an armed conflict is initiated, Tehran will face fierce resistance from the Israelis. According to Israeli analyst Uzi Rabi, Iran is unlikely to launch a large-scale attack on Israeli territory while Donald Trump holds the presidency in the United States, since Iran's aggression could provoke a powerful American strike on this country.

Rabi believes the Iranians can use their people in Iraq to attack American targets. To counter this, the United States brought the forces of its Iraqi contingent in a state of full combat readiness. In addition, the American aircraft carrier Nimitz is returning to the Persian Gulf, accompanied by a group of warplanes.

Persians would have to think hard before trying to attack Israel - the consequences of such a rash move for their country could be disastrous. The Israelis do not have hostile feelings towards the people of Iran, as well as towards any other people on the planet, but they will resolutely resist the aggressor who has infringed on the security of the State of Israel, the lives and well-being of its citizens. It is to provide protection against attacks by all types of missile weapons that a multi-level missile defense system of the Jewish state has been built, which really has no analogues in the world. I think that despite the extremely aggressive ideology of Islamic fundamentalism, the Ayatollahs will not dare to attack Israel, taking into account the IDF's capabilities, capable of delivering a crushing blow to the aggressor, to hit any object on its territory.

  No one can call Israel without the United States. Iran and the Palestinians have more missiles than the Jews can digest ... the bandits have already agreed on soap and handbags. Jewish exclusivity always ends in the same way. Khmelnitsky was not enough, Hitler was not enough and the continuation of the banquet is required?

        Not true)
        
        After the revolution in Iraq in 1958 and the virtual collapse of the Baghdad Pact, the Dwight D. Eisenhower administration made the strategic decision to renegotiate relations with Israel, relying on the Jewish state as the main partner of the United States in the Middle East. This was reflected in the strengthening of military and political cooperation between the countries. Relations that had begun to revive were clouded by the report of the US State Department on the presence in Israel of a nuclear research center in Dimona, built with the help of France. Until the beginning of the 70s. American observers repeatedly visited the nuclear center until the American side followed the actual recognition of Israel's nuclear potential.
        
        Well:
        
        In May 1961, the new American president met for the first time with the Israeli prime minister, John F. Kennedy and David Ben-Gurion, respectively. In early 1962, the countries signed a treaty on the extradition of criminals, and on December 27 of the same year, President Kennedy announced a "special relationship" between the United States and Israel in the Middle East and the supply of military equipment to Israel.
        
        President Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, has steadfastly supported the course of the previous president. In 1964, the first official visit of the Israeli Prime Minister (Levi Eshkol) to the White House took place. Until the start of the Six Day War, France was the main supplier of weapons to Israel, but since the early 60s. The United States increasingly pushed the French out of the Israeli arms market. Starting with the supply of exclusively defensive weapons, for example, the MIM-23 Hawk, by the mid-60s, the United States began to supply offensive weapons as well. In addition, the United States contributed to the receipt of West German weapons supplied to Israel under the compensation agreement.

- With a massive attack of several hundred ballistic missiles, the ABM saturation threshold will be reached and hundreds of missiles will pass through the Israeli missile defense system to their targets. Israel and (probably) the United States will strike at nuclear and missile industries, command centers, military and government facilities, but no one will bomb the residential areas of Tehran ...

        Why a little bit. In Syria, dozens of them are sent in bulk to the Huria by the IDF one time after another. The Persians are silent. Because there is nothing to say. The question of who liquidated Fakhridzadeh remains open. Iran's speculation about an Israeli trail is not supported by evidence. It seems that Tehran itself does not know how the operation to eliminate the nuclear engineer was carried out. The versions contradict one another. Iran currently has no allies, the economy of this country is not in the best condition due to sanctions and the fall in oil prices. In all respects, the Iranian army does not make a particularly formidable impression. No, they will not risk it. Is that to arrange some kind of terrorist act against Israeli targets, or citizens abroad. And even then, if they can. But it is their right to be offended. Let them take offense, but only quietly.

        With the same success, it can be assumed that after the first massive US strike, Russia will cease to exist, except that the fact is that Iran does not yet have nuclear weapons, and if there is information that it is about to appear, it will be the same as in Iraq in 1983 or in Syria a little later, when an almost finished reactor was demolished. With Iran, it is more difficult, but quite capable. And in general, so that there is no temptation to "first massive strike", in the Persian Gulf, submarines equipped with CD with special ammunition are constantly on duty. According to Western experts. , one such ammunition carries about 10 Hiroshima.

        The publication is, in fact, about bringing Israel's air defense system to heightened combat readiness. Opinions were divided on the website about Iran's ability to launch a missile strike on Israel. You are replacing the subject of discussion. And without any proof, without even naming a country or a country that, as you say, are capable of putting our country in a "kneeling position", you say that the Jews of Israel will not even be able to escape. Let's go in order. The threat of a missile strike on Israel from Iran, as for me, of course exists. Who would argue? Otherwise, why bring Israel's air defenses to full combat readiness, which is quite costly. On the other hand, Iran is not in a position to take risks. Above, I referred to the reasons. I repeat that war is the continuation of the economy by other means. And with this, Tehran is doing very badly. Therefore, despite promising developments, there are very few missiles capable of reaching Israel. On the other hand, the Israeli Air Force is the third in the world in terms of quantity and second in the fighters of the latest generation. And there are also missiles in Israel capable of carrying nuclear warheads. And the air defense is multilevel. Now about your calculations about the uselessness of Israel about its "blockade." First, about the uselessness. GDP of nine million Israel in 2019 -405 billion dollars. Per capita -22 place in the world. Compare with the GDP of 150 million Russia and its immense territory.
        I am giving you a link so that you have some idea of Israel's economic power. In Russia, by the way, are drones delivering pizza to your home?

        After dividing the zones, the first thing the heads of the zones will do (put yourself in their place) will take away nuclear weapons from the rest. It is obvious.

        There will be no "zones". For the reason already indicated by V. I. Lenin: the struggle for the redistribution of the already divided world, markets for the sale of sources of raw materials. Hitler tried to crush and control the world according to your patterns. And how did it end? Now, specifically for the countries you specified.
        For the same India, one of the main suppliers of weapons is Israel. A lot of Israel's know-how is implemented in China, because there the cost of labor is cheaper, and, accordingly, lower production costs. In terms of startups, and in absolute numbers, Israel ranks second in the world after the United States. This is the question of Israel's "unnecessary". The world has long been globalized and dividing it strictly into zones of control between several countries is the same as creating a "perpetum mobile". If I understood you correctly, not economic factors, but the military component of countries will determine the status of "watching" (I cannot choose another term) on the planet ". You indicated them: USA, RF, India, China. So you want. Now look at the military spending of these countries. And compare the military spending with the military spending of other countries "not looking." And if you take Israel, which you hate, then compared to the Russian Federation, the difference in military spending is very small, given the number of armies of the two states. In the Russian Federation -65 billion, in Israel 20.5 billion. In Iran, if memory serves, -12 billion. And if you look at the military spending of Germany, France, South Korea, Japan and other countries, they are practically the same as in the Russian Federation ... Israel, by the way, is in 15th place in the world in terms of military spending. And Iran and Russia, all other countries and would be happy to increase military spending. But you can only get out of your pocket what is there.
        However, take a look at the official table of military spending for all countries of the world.
        
        And the last thing. Your vision of the planet as a GULAG with its zones and "beholders" is not new. There are even specific authors who publish their own works in this regard. And in the genre of fantasy.
        M. Kalashnikov: "The Broken Sword of the Empire", for example. But this is not serious.

        The same sad nonsense that has nothing to do with reality. You are also ignorant, it turns out. You do not even know how many years Israel has lived (and not bad at all) under a FULL Arab embargo. Moreover, most countries adhered to it. Now Arabs, one after another, conclude peaceful agreements with Israel - they finally realized that it is better to be friends with Israel. Yes, and about the "not a special problem" - in 1967 and especially in 1973, Israel defeated 5 united Arab regular armies, fully and comprehensively supported by the "great-mighty" And he himself took part and received as a bonus many 200s and a political defeat. At the same time, no one fought for Israel. No, I understand, of course, that you are an ignoramus and did not know this, but someone should have enlightened you a little , otherwise all that was in your head was a conspiracy on the topic of "financial" Although it is unlikely that the horse feed. Continue to dream of how we will run. There are many of them. Israel has existed for longer than the USSR, which, yes, did fall apart. but you pr lend to dream, because how do you admit that you are an ignoramus who does not know basic things? :)))

        Iran does not have such a radius of CD. Ballistic missiles - yes, albeit in small numbers, but cruise missiles of such a radius are only in Russia and the United States.

        You demanded a serious source, I gave it to you. You, for your part, did not give any reasons. The usual verbiage, of which there are many.

        Well, I'll come back from duty and give arguments refuting the blizzard that Iran has a CD that can cover 2000 km (not to mention 3000 - no one has such in service yet). It is problematic with a smartphone, and working computers are blocked for many sites , including this one. You look, someone else turns out to be verbiage.

      And Iran's statements about the new super-duper KR, capable of covering 2000 km from the same opera as the "5th generation fighter" "Gadir" presented a few years ago. Specialists were tearing their tummies for a long time, looking at this miracle. There is no equal. The regime of crazy ayatollahs is an evil Pinocchio itself. It suffers huge losses from sanctions, it loses a lot of people in Syria and other places for the sake of its cannibalistic Islamist principles. Would take the example of the Arabs - they eventually got a taste that there is no point in fighting Israel after another they conclude contracts with him and get very tasty buns for this.

It is interesting that air defense is not on full combat readiness? Well, like today, according to the forecast, an attack is not expected and they relaxed their belts

  In a democratic state, which is Russia, freedom of choice of religion is guaranteed by the constitution. Isn't that so with you?
  
  And here you have, by the way, in the photo, the form of the state to which you kind of swore an oath. And serve another. It's about traitors.

- This state has disappeared... And his main traitors were his leadership - for various reasons - from stupidity (Gorbachev), from the desire for power (Yeltsin), from passivity and apathy - a lot of other top leaders. And they all got so bad that no one wanted to obey them ...
Millions of people fled from this state in 14 union republics, why blame "for treason" to me alone ?!

- Of course, in air defense, as in other types of armed forces, there are also different degrees of combat readiness:
