A 14-plane US airlift lands high-powered FBX radar in Israel with US personnel

Huge US Air Force C-5 Galaxy and C-17 Gobemaster III transports have ferried the high-powered FBX-T anti-missile radar to Israel's Nevatim Air Base south of Beersheba. DEBKAfile's military sources report that the transportable radar surveillance/forward-based X-band radar was accompanied by some 120 American European Command personnel. The area of its deployment at the Negev base has been fenced off and made off-limits to non-American personnel.

This is the first time an Israel Defense Forces facility housing an American weapons system has been closed to Israeli military.

The X-band radar has been deployed with cooling systems, generators, perimeter defense weaponry and dozens of technicians and security forces to operate and defend the installation.

The Raytheon system can detect a flying object the size of a baseball at a distance of 4,700 km, fix on its speed and trajectory and convey the data to the Israeli Arrow anti-missile battery. This equals detecting an Iranian Shehab-3 ballistic missile 5.5 minutes after its launch, which means that it is picked up halfway on its 11-minute flight from Iran to bomb targets in Israel, adding precious minutes to Israel?s response time for incoming missile attacks.

Israel has furthermore been given improved access to US satellites capable of identifying missiles at the instant of their launch. Israel will now be directly linked to the satellites - albeit through the US Joint Tactical Ground Station JTAGS in Europe.

Commenting on the FBX radar deployment, a Pentagon source said: First, we want to put Iran on notice that we?re bolstering our capabilities throughout the region, and especially in Israel. But just as important, we?re telling the Israelis, ?Calm down; behave. We're doing all we can to stand by you and strengthen defenses.

Great, I guess this means the three million Arabs in the West Bank can now settle in for another 40 years of military occupation and ethnic cleansing.  Or not.

How many dummy missiles will it take to overwhelm the FBX-T's defences?  What kind of ground attack would it take to kill the FBX-T's crews?  How much more money does an America teetering on the brink of bankruptcy have to spend on covering the Israeli land grab in the West Bank?  What kind of "change" is Obama really capable of delivering to the American political system and how will it affect AIPAC's power?

Interesting days ahead.

What kind of ground attack would it take to kill the FBX-T's crews?

LOL @ ground attack

those chickenshit Iranians dont dare....are reading this?...DONT DARE a ground attack on Israel
or Iran would cease to exist (for that reson alone i hope they do try it)
oh i wish Iran would try a ground attack
how would Iranian troops even get there without being incinerated?

So Hezbollah is incapable of attacking inside Israel?  I didn't realize.

Cafe's , schools , markets , busses yes.

Important military targets, not so much.

I think talk about turning other human beings into a recipe for food is distasteful at many levels.

Cannibalism does not appear to be a viable solution to human conflicts on even the rarest of occasions.

[Christians4LessGvt]

XO I'd love to watch this guy slap the shit of you for making a statement like that!

And he would have!

We'll need more just like him when we fight the big one with the IslamoNazis!

[Xavier_Onassis]

First, you made this imbecilic statement"

oh i wish Iran would try a ground attack
how would Iranian troops even get there without being incinerated?

And showed an image of a shich kebob, ostensibly festooned with Iranian flesh.
=======================

Since I feel that cannibalism is never a solution to human conflicts, I pointed out this:

Then you typed this moronic schpiel:

XO I'd love to watch this guy slap the shit of you for making a statement like that! (including a video of WWII TankCommander Gen. George Patton)

And he would have!


Well, I do not think that Patton and all the tanks on the planet are likely to erase Islamic fundie terrorism.
I also believe that Patton would agree with me that wishing for an enemy would attack so they could be converted into snack food is imbicelic, and if he was in a bad mood, he would tend to slap the sh*t our of you.

[Christians4LessGvt]

Well, I do not think that Patton and all the tanks on the planet are likely to erase Islamic fundie terrorism.

Total and complete destruction of an enemy is the only thing that will work.
Sapping Hitler around and then allowing Hitler to continue would not have worked.
Only in recent times as "patty cake warfare" with an enemy been instituted
And as we see, that doesn't work.

I also believe that Patton would agree with me

I doubt Patton would agree with you on anything.
He didnt believe in pander and blame america first anti-americanism.

[Xavier_Onassis]

Well, tanks seem to have worked on Hitler. But we were not discussing Hitler. We were discussing Muslin fundie fanatics, and THEY cannot be defeated or utterly destroyed with tanks.

I am certain that Patton would have agreed with this.

I defy you to prove in any way how Iran attacking Israel, then beig turned into snack food by the Israelis and eaten would be a satisfactory response to Islamic terrorism.

I am all for the Iranians not attacking anyone, and for no humans ever being turned into shish-kebobs, however delicious they might be.

And I feel that nearly the entire human race would agree with this.


I double-dog dare and defy you to prove how cannibalism or tanks could be a useful response to terrorism of the 9-11 sort. Tanks are not creatures of the air. Please take this into consideration.

<<XO I'd love to watch this guy slap the shit of you for making a statement like that!>>

First of all, "this guy" is a mere actor, George C. Scott.  He's not about to slap the shit out of anyone.

Secondly, I'm a little disturbed by the tendency of our right-wing friends to fantasize, with chop-licking relish, the application of brute force to anyone who dares to express opinions which they find distasteful.  I hope if you or your surrogates ever try such a tactic in real life, you will get the shit kicked out of you, but even if brute force wins the day, it has proven nothing in the end.  The leftist who was smacked around, even if he is beaten, is still right and the guys who beat him are still wrong.

Hitler and Mussolini "won" a lot of arguments by beating, then torturing and killing their opponents.  Not only did this not prove them right, but at the end of the day, both of them wound up dead.  Think about it.  Try to elevate your debating technique to a more civilized plane.

I believe George C. Scott is deceased. His slapping days, if ever he had any (which I doubt) are over.

Why not?

Yeah, because "put 'em up against the wall" and getting 'em with a firing squad doesn't involve brute force.

[Michael Tee]

<<Yeah, because "put 'em up against the wall" and getting 'em with a firing squad doesn't involve brute force.>>

I'm not talking about resolving intellectual disputes in a democratic environment.  "Up against the wall" is what I advocate only for enemies of the people, who undertake active opposition (including non-violent subversion, but subversion intended to undermine the socialist state) when there is a socialist state to be undermined, or for Nazis and fascists who have already undertaken fascist, Nazi or racist activities related to the seizure or maintenance of power, or racist, sexist or homophobic violence.  And even then, except in the most egregious cases, I would think that re-education would be preferable if there is any indication that the individual is likely to respond favourably to it.  "The wall" is a kind of last-ditch solution to be reserved only for hard-core offenders.

What some of our right-wing friends in this NG seem to be relishing is the prospect of violence upon posters merely for opinions expressed in the NG.  Typical of the intellectually and morally bankrupt state of the right wing mind, embracing arguments that can only be "won" by kicking in somebody's head.
