[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1019657, member: 14668"] The reality is that Israel simply does not have the firepower or the equipment to launch the sort of sustained aerial campaign that would be required to take out Irans nuclear facilities, many of which are underground and therefore impervious to normal conventional weapons. A successful attack would require long range stealth aircraft ( which Israel does not have) dropping bunker- buster bombs (which Israel does not have) on hardened, well-defended targets that are far beyond the range of Israels friend-15's and friend-16's unless they refuel in midar over friendly airspace ( access to which Israel does not have). What israel DOES have...is about 200 low- yield tactical nuclear warheads that can be dropped by aircraft or launched on Jericho missiles. If they are bound and determined to destroy Irans nuclear capability, then the ONLY choice they have is to use nukes of their own. In order to avoid pissing off the few allies they have, they will not be able to overfly Iraq or Turkey. It is widely believed that Saudi Arabia would (initially at least) turn a blind eye towards Israeli overflights of its airspace, since the Saudis hate Iran as much as Israel does. In other words..."the enemy of my enemy is my friend". [/QUOTE]
