Well we know now what the Iranians were doing in the Med

[TLAM Strike]

The Liberian flagged cargo ship Victoria took on arms in Lattakia Syria at the same time the IRINS Kharg and its escort was there, the Victoria then sailed for Turkey and then headed south for el-Arīsh in the Northern Sinai. The Israeli Navy stopped the ship and searched her. Aboard they found 60mm mortars (rounds packages in July 2009 and C-704 anti-ship missiles (complete with documentation written in Persian). The C-704 is a Chinese designed missile known to be manufactured in Iran; it has a range of 35 km a high subsonic speeds and a warhead of 130 kg.

Once again, the IDF proves it rocks.

I guess it's fortunate that they were destined for Sinai rather than Lebanon.

If the US ever needed to bomb someone in middle east, it's the Iranian regime. :stare:

I agree. Two wars is not enough; we need a third. Besides, this is all working out so well for us.

[Matador.es]

Ghahah, how great. :yeah: for the IDF :har:

did you read the news of the "stolen Mig-23 by Lybian rebels who sank 2 Ghadafi’s Warships? (http://defensetech.org/2011/03/15/libyan-rebels-may-have-used-a-mig-23-to-sink-two-of-ghadafis-warships/)" Must say it is not sure if this is true, Reuter claims it is.:arrgh!:

The sad part of good news is that they don't catch them all.

Just like drugs and human trafficking across the US/Mexico border they don't all get caught ...

The thrill is after all in the hunt ... :yep:

i meant if they ever wanted to bomb someone, that was the target (i.e. in 2003). They'd probably be better off cleaning up that SOB than going on a personal vindetta after Sadam but... water under the bridge, all hope on IDF cathing these bastards. Just wonder how much patience they have in them in the world that's clearly overheating like that japanese reactor.
