Ritter has a good handle on the technical networks displayed on 13 - 14 Apr

If Russia and/or Iran had electronic intelligence (ELINT) in the air during the "engagement" their knowledge of US air and missile defense (AMD) has improved worth far more than the billion bucks shot off by Israel.

They have seen sensors: TPY-2 (THAAD), SPY 1 (Aegis), Patriot, and various smaller sets. They have likely intercepted data links and recorded transmission characteristics. Seeing how sensors talk to battle management centers, to other sensors, to fire controllers and links between sensors and missiles to correct course in flight.......

They would have seen missile flight profiles that equal what could be recorded on test ranges.

On the fighter aircraft they have seen the data links between AWACS/AEWC, refueling tankers, and between F-35 and other airborne networks.....

The hubris!

"...IMO, the Turk public hasn't thought through what its support for Palestinians means when it comes to their livelihood."

Erdogan's son in law has a lot at stake-he profits enormously from the trade and makes a killing out of stolen Syrian oil, evidently.

But for the first of the Turkish population all that is at stake in their relations with Israel ids the shame-shared with Sissi in Egypt- of being the twin pillars on which the Zionst project currently rests.

One thinbg is certain: if they don't deal with the Zionists, the Zionists, with their insane imperial ideas, will come after them.
