[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1576958, member: 14668"] The Saudis would almost certainly experience " radar malfunctions" if the Israelis overflew them on the way to attack Iranian nuclear facilities, at least temporarily. Problem is, it will involve a [B]lot[/B] more than what you describe. Israeli strike planes would need to refuel [I]2 or 3 times [/I]on the way in and once or twice on the way back. Plus they would need a heavy fighter escort (that would also need multiple refuelings) to engage Iran's interceptors as well as electronic countermeasures aircraft (that would also need multiple refueling) to disable Iran's air defense systems. And this would be a prolonged air campaign, potentially lasting for weeks. If they want to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities in a single strike...which realistically is their only option given their lack of long range aircraft and tankers...then they will have no choice but to use nuclear weapons of their own.
