(47,953 posts)I wondered if it was true or just another bit of FUD. Exceptionally poor timing on the Israelis part.

(3,891 posts)The first folks to report it were the Russians, which means they have really streamlined their military reporting structure. It also means that they have radar cover the area, probably from all those ships their navy has put there that nobody is worried about being in the region.

(25,699 posts)It makes perfect sense for Israel to make sure their defenses are in working order, seeing as how the Us is about to create a situation that could very well result in a lot of dead Israelis if it doesn't

(26,060 posts)You mean preparing themselves for Syrian (and possibly Iranian) strikes if the US attacks which have been PROMISED by Syria is now escalating? Should they just stand around with their thumbs up their asses and wait for the scuds to start falling? Would that satisfy you? And the irony of you calling anyone stupid fucks is just too delicious.

(6,324 posts)I fail to see how testing defense systems escalates anything- if anything it shows they work and makes someone considering an attack think twice.
Can't quite see where this move deserves the label "stupid fucks".

(36,988 posts)Israel said it was unaware of any ballistic missile launch being conducted in the eastern Mediterranean.

(36,988 posts)I think the Israelis asked the US to sign on for legitimacy of might vs right.
Dumb shit move.
I guess it only cost a few millions of taxpayers money.

(19,429 posts)Wonder whether the missile came from a surface vessel or from a sub?
