Mighty_Zuk Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 A few days ago Israel bombed a row of Syrian facilities belonging to CERS, believed to be producing chemical weapons and/or ground-ground missiles, or perhaps both (payload and delivery production at same site). Now come the photos and it seems as if the damage done to the site was rather limited. My first guess was that these facilities go underground, and the munitions themselves were bunker-busters. What do you guys think? As a bonus, the site appears to be close to an S-400 site: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostCosmonaut Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 My guess is that anything going high and fast is going to get wasted by high end air defence systems unless you're going REALLY high and fast. If you're not going up against air defense systems, something like a Predator or Global Chicken is cheaper/has a better sensor fit. It's definitely cool as shit though.
