US aerospace industry and former US Air Force officials told Aviation Week's Senior Military Editor David A. Fulghum that Israel must have used "a technology like the US-developed 'Suter' airborne network attack system".
The cutting-edge technology allows users to invade enemy communication networks, to "see what enemy sensors see and even take over as systems administrator so sensors can be manipulated into positions so that approaching aircraft can't be seen", experts said.
In effect, the technology infiltrates and tricks enemy sensors by "directing data streams into them that can include false targets and misleading messages algorithms that allow a number of activities including control," the article explains.
The US system was recently tested successfully in operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, officials told Aviation Week.
Get the fuck outta here! We have this kind of technology? We have the ability to remotely hack into an enemy's military network and disable it's air defenses while in flight? That doesn't sound very good for Russia as the Syrian air defenses was Russia's "state of the art" system according to various places.
If that is indeed true, Iran must be shitting in their pants right now. For the US to be able to completely dismantle their air defenses and have the US be able to own the skies above Iran, they must be thinking twice about their nuclear program and how they plan on getting away with it now.
Since all nations have decided to wait until November to have Iran show progress on it's nuclear program before they vote on sanctions, it's not looking very good for the Iranians. They have all nations against them with only Russia and China meagerly trying to defend their ally with little confidence. The Israeli's have shown that Syrian air defenses are worthless, and Israel has publicly said if the UN and other nations don't do something soon about Iran's nuclear program, then they will.
I'm still in awe of this technology we have if it is indeed true. You wonder why we spend almost $500 billion a year in national defense? Because technology like this allows pilots to go home to their families and enemy targets get to be destroyed with impunity.
The worst thing is that Iran and Syria both could say "You know what? We're tired of supporting terrorists. We'd like to extend our hand in friendship to the United States" and if they verifiably did so, we'd probably welcome it. We did it with Libya, why not them?
But they have decided to let pride fuck with their heads and now Israel is showing them second generation US firepower. Just imagine what we have available to us if we decide to act out on Iran's nuclear program.
