Footage of Isreali F16 taking out Hezbolah Drone

[dodger42]

Found this over on the Fighterops forum. If you look closely you can see some pretty amazing missile maneuvering:

Would you post direct link to the file?

[Shaman]

Link worked before. I've seen it.

[Kenan]

Something's wrong with the webpage..I can't read a thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:D

[dodger42]

Seems they took the page down. Not sure why, will see if I have it cached somewhere.

[Chizh]

I can't see any video from this page. And unfortunately I don't know Hebrew.

If you roll over the photos- the matching number (id=1030) will show- you have to go to the 3rd page I think.. The next page button is placed as you might expect to find it- other than it being bass-ackwards. :D

 

This might be a better link- it seems to be direct- and opens it as such.

The only funny thing in this story (in a situation where nothing is funny, because it's real war out there!) is that the enemies of the "West", of the "Capitalists" and "Zionists", have their own "brand" (it's not just an insignia) and it's also translated in "enemy" 's language. If they weren't killing people that'd be quite ludicrous.

 

why putting a "islamic resistance" logo on a drone which should slip undetected over Israeli skies?

 

please no flame, I've just expressed a personal opinion...

Cool remark, I have a strong opinion about this situation, but eh, as you can see beneath my avatar (Bender Bending Rodriguez :P), and the futility of such discussions, I will refrain from writing it down, I suggest everyone does the same thing.

 

I don't quite understand what I see there so I will write down what I think happened: the big white flame in the beginning is the F-16, the little, almost 'cold' object to the left of the F-16 (viewing from the pilot's perspective) is the "evil" drone, so the F-16 fires a Python/AIM-9 at a high off-bore angle, something like 60/70 degrees, and the missile (the little bright white thing) hits the drone, after which the F-16 pops some flares.

 

Guess the pilot wanted to test off-bore performance in real life situations, and did not want to slow down and use the M-61.

 

 

EDIT: Saw my 1337 post count, thanks, didn't notice it :P Okay, I will continue editing this post until I grow tired of the 1337 post count, that is so great, yaay. :P

I noticed 1337 post! :thumbup:

What I wonder is why he did that it what seems to be populated area

Force, when your post count hits 1369, make another post...QUICK. You don't want to be a 1369. :D

exactly that's the point why i'd say it's no Hezbolah Drone, but an israeli-manufactured, used to push up some more reasons for the war against lebanon....:mad:

That's in case the drone gets lost, so they could send it back to its rightful owner.

 

Made by Hezbollah™

OTOH you have 'USAF', 'US Navy' or 'Royal Navy' titles on ALCMs, Tomahawks and Polaris missiles (not sure about my namesake missiles) too. Pride? Wicked humour? Your guess is as good as mine ;)

It's just so the lucky founder knows where to return it to :P

Thanks, it is OK.

The drone is made in Iran

[Rhen]

Light-weight drones can sometimes get lost in the course of their missions. This may be in enemy or friendly territory. If it should become lost in friendly territory - there's a return address: Please give this to the addressee should it be found.

 

The technology for these things is quite simple, it's the intelligence gathering package that will truly tell who/what nation manufactured the drone, pictures of which are conspicuously missing.

Nothing tinfoil about it.

 

or do you think the Israelis don't engage in Propoganda?:music_whistling:

If this is propaganda, surely they would have done so with something maybe a little more deadly than a drone. Just a thought. Everybody engages in propaganda, so I don't think any of us can say for sure if it is or isn't. It just seems to me that they would have chosen a weapon of some kind to do this with, rather than a recon drone. Don't forget, there are quite a few English speakers on both sides of the fence in Lebanon. ;)

As usual you type a lot and say nothing. ;)
