[QUOTE="soberups, post: 757446, member: 14668"] Israel does not have an aircraft carrier. Nor do they have any heavy, long -range bombers such as the B-1 or the B-52. All they have is friend-15's and friend-16's that have been modified to carry additional fuel tanks, but even with the additional fuel these planes cant even come close to making the 3000-mile round trip to Iran and back. They will require air-to-air refueling over hostile territory, and Israel only has 2 or 3 airborne tanker planes. There is simply no way that Israel can sustain the kind of prolonged air campaign over Iran that will be required to destroy hardened, heavily defended targets with conventional weapons. Israel also lacks the "bunker-buster" bombs that can take out underground targets. Most experts believe that Israel has between 80 and 120 nuclear warheads. This estimate is based upon the known plutonium-producing capability of their French-built Dimona nuclear reactor. If Israel is serious about destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities, they will have no option but to use nukes of their own. [/QUOTE]
