Drills and simulations really aren't much of a defense against a thousand nucleur tipped cruise missles raining from the sky...your worst nightmare.

Iran is going the way of North Korea. A dictatorship that has a huge military but can't feed its own people. True, NK is communist and 'atheist', but in each of these two nations, the state IS the religion.

So true. Especially when your electrical grids have been "blinded" and your antiquated radar system has been rendered useless. The Iranians have been spouting their "wipe the Zionist entity from the map" rhetoric for so long, I suspect they actually have come to believe that they can. Boy, are they in for a surprise!

with all Irans supposed outdated fighters, low tech radars etc etc and all Israels technology, one would think that they would have attacked Iran by now. After all they dont need the mighty USA to back them with such an easy task. But the world knows all the talk can only be done with the help of the USA otherwise it would have been done months ago.

12. NO NEED TO GET UPSET.....................#11
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (11.13.12)
The drone had firing shots around it..........it was a message sent out that if the drone intrudes into the Iranian airspace,the Iranian Airforce will not simply look at it.......................they will shoot it down.
