[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1576667, member: 14668"] Israeli aircraft and pilots are among the best on earth, but regardless of the route selected they do not have the range to strike targets deep in Iran without multiple mid-air refuelings that are far beyond the capacity of the handful of tanker aircraft that they possess. They also lack bunker-busting munitions of the type required to penetrate hardened underground targets such as the uranium enrichment facility at Natanz. Israel does have Popeye cruise missiles and Jericho medium-range ballistic missiles that can reach Iran, but these weapons have small payloads and cant penetrate hardened targets either...unless they are tipped with [I]nuclear[/I] rather than conventional warheads. Destroying Irans nuclear program with [I]conventional[/I] weapons can [I]only[/I] be done by long-range stealth aircraft carrying bunker-buster bombs. The only nation on earth with those resources is the USA. [/QUOTE]
