#1 Anyone still wonder why we need a close relationship with Israel? Herb?
Clue: We're flying blind without their intel and help.

#2 They”ve also been debugging our F-35 code, but I suppose some consider that a minor detail.

#3 Israel to Tehran is about 2000km and the trip back doubles that distance. The range of an F-35 is about 2,200km without a drop tank which might add a bit but not enough. Bandar Abbas is much further still.

We had quite a todo just Sunday about the importance of testing in the software development cycle.

#6 Not so sure that the Russkies wanted their weapons lighting up and firing off on what was certainly a 'fishing expedition' to check the Persian's S-Series operational capabilities. They may have sent the stand-down orders.

But then, I wasn't there.

#7 I'm skeptical because of the range and border crossings. If order to pull it off, the F-35's would have to refuel (coming and going) from American tankers over Saudi, Persian Gulf or Turkey.

#8 Why must they be American tankers?

#9 Does Israel have any stealth tankers?

#10 Recall the two tankers and three ISAR/CC(?) flights from last week? I expect they had been fitted for F35 refueling and other mission parameters.

#11 For that matter, they need not be sortieing from Israel. not saying more.
