#1 The UAV threat is one that Israel can handle. It complicates matters a bit but it's not like Israel is, you know, Lebanon...

#2 Will a jammer on the platform have a greater range than the 'go autonomous' command link?

#3 Because the power of an electronic signal drops off as the square of the distance, a jammer is particularly effective in a local area no matter what the power of the transmitter (within reason).

The real problem is defending static targets like off-shore drilling platforms from rockets or the anti-ship missiles the Hezbies shot at the Israeli navy last time.

Again, not that hard, just annoying.

#4 no offense to Israel - but the publicity about one unfriendly UAV coming over the border is ridiculous. How many UAV's have been sent into Iran .. by you know who?? Were all of those UAV's simply intel-gathering missions, or were some of them armed? Good question :-)
