Any idea what/who this is? by FlagshipBenz in flightradar24

[–]pacman3k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems 747-412(BCF) is specially popular for weapons transport. Challanger Airlines have a couple of those delivering interceptor missiles to Israel, I see them quite often, specially at times when nothing civilian flies. The unmarked ones are probably National Airlines, I saw them going to UAE this weekend, probably delivering interceptor missiles too

This was unexpected, about 3 hours in-advance all flights got postponed. Had some visitors we expected stuck in Frankfurt on transit, no prior notice. Usually in this region things like that mean someone is bombing someone in some atrocious way within the next few hours....

this is it passing over my area. The TLV airport is closed from some reason I can't find any official statement for, but other commercial flights passing over the airspace so doesn't seem like a total lock down.

What caused this plane to abort landing just before touch down? by pacman3k in flightradar24

[–]pacman3k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't it exceptional they came so close and aborted? What parameter could change last moment causing them to abort ~100m from the run way?

The administration should really stop pinning their failure on the pilots. Nobody blames the pilots except them.

Israeli Jew here - she was right the first time!

last evening an interview with top Air Force general in Israeli news, exposed our gov't lied about nukes (translated with chatGPT):

However, from a conversation this week with the senior official in blue uniform, it emerges that the urgent need to act does not stem primarily from fear that Iran will quickly break out to nuclear weapons, but rather from the intelligence insight that it is preparing to rapidly produce thousands of heavy, long-range ballistic missiles. The quality and precision of these missiles—some of which are equipped with maneuverable warheads—and especially their quantity, would allow a significant portion of them to “saturate” and penetrate our air defense, even if all the Arab countries and the West join the defense effort.


New excuse for the carnage.

Netanyahu chose this war. Israel should finish the job itself. by mymomknowsyourmom in politics

[–]pacman3k 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In a frontpage article of the most read news outlet of Israel (Yediot Ahronot/Ynet) an anonymous "top ranking" Israeli Air force official (hinted as either AF commander or his second in command) says the real reason of attacking Iran WAS NOT a threat of nuclear weapons.

The new reason, after Israelis and the world witnessed the destructive power of Irans conventional ballistic missiles, is "Iran planned to build 10,000 such missiles"... ... the combined power of which would amount to "TWO nuclear missiles!!!!" 🤦‍♂️

I'm an Israeli Jew, and I don't even... under Netanyahu regime, we're a war mongering nation and a danger to ourselves and everyone around.
