We are not clear the warhead never detonated indication from Janes is Janes own judgment or Israeli source, but indication at least is not to the level o...

Hmm, if Iran is indeed supplying Hezbollah with C802s, the proverbial’s going to hit the fan. Iran and Syria are already waist-deep in this mess, but this could bring things up one big notch.

whatever the make of the missile/drone, the boat was 16 km from the nearest land.

perhaps all of us can learn something from this fact.

Hizbollah or hezbollah?

I have been doing some backtrack news reading... I was overseas.

It seemed suspicious.. that the Saar 5 captain himself said that it was a drone.. then the next day says it's a C-802. If it were the C-802, the covette would have done a Bow-to-stern clap and does a Titanic ..

After reading thru the past articles.. It seems that the Israelis are trying ttheir best to link everything they can to the Iranians.

First, the Israel cliamed that the two captured Soldier were being sent to Iran Shocked .. how the hel could that be possible, unless ignorant people does not bother to see the middle East maps.. they would have to go thru Turkey and Iraq. We're not even sure whether the Israelis soldiers were on the right side of the border ??

Then when the IDF shells and bombard Lebanon, and they retaliate , Israel says that the Lebanese are going against the "rule".. What Rules ??? they even dare to demand that the Lebanese stop their rocket attacks.. but in no where did the Israelis says they will stop theirs

To further hyporate the situation, Israel is planning to have a 200 km buffer zone ?? Expansion ??? It seems Gaza and West bank is not enough????

Much Worst the champion of the Human rights country -USA has Veto the UN peace keeping force ??? What Logic ??? Simply Israel and US are Gangster.. Evil or Very Mad

They are never really 'champions' of human rights. They merely use human right abuse as an excuse to interfere in other countries' internal affairs. One recent example is the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba.

Economic and military might is the way to go in international politics. Without money and weapons, your country will be pushed around by others. This is the unspoken fact of international relations throughout the ages.

Woah. u are getting close.

The whole timing is rather coincidental don't u think?

First N.Korea tests their missiles, openly defying the US. The US realises the possibility of another front in the Far East is likely and no doubt gonna be very taxing on their military capabilities to handle since they are already very commited to the Middle East situation.

A few days ago, Israeli attack Lebanon, to "rescue" their captured soldiers, and cites Iran and Syria being likely to be involved. The open attack on Lebanon demonstrates the ability and willingness to go to war if they deem it necessary. Coincidence that Iran also openly challenged the US in their decision to go nuclear.

I feel that the US is trying to send a signal to both North Korea and Iran. Perhaps it maybe something in the tune of, "i'm stretched, but I'm not alone."

Not exactly, at least personally Ill vote Aster 15 is still better than the Barak Wink Laughing

CenturionMBT SG

for a 1227 ton boat, it is certainly armed to the teeth. Even better armed than the formidable class.

sheesshh…this is getting complicated by the day..

Whether the missile was a dud or not is immaterial. It's the fact an opponent missile penetrated the defenses of an advanced Western warship. Its interesting that excuses are made like the defenses were turned off. Interesting since the Israeli military is such reputed as being one of the most experience force in the world. They didn't see the enemy in possession of such hardware so their guard was down? Well how about the terrorist tactic of driving a small boat up loaded with explosives. Were they ready for that or caught their pants down X 2? I saw the video of supposedly the missile striking the ship at sea. It was night and that missile was like a flare shooting across the sky before you saw the explosion. If that's what it's like, at least no one on the ship saw that coming?

The Israelis are experienced with land and air warfare,not naval warfare.

tankee1981 SG

Pardon me but where is the damage? There are reports that there is a fire but there seems like there is no signs of fire from this pic. And those two black marks on the waterline is due to the exhaust.

Please take note of the two holes on the starboard side of the vessel in the above pic. This pic of the Saar 5 is not the one of the damaged corvette but taken before the attack.

38 SG

The damaged area( A hole as reported by official Israeli source) is covered by a blanket as you can see and burned signs can be seen everywhere in the stern
