How in the flying fuck can one fail to shoot down a drone THREE TIMES. They tried with both F15 eagle and patriot missiles.
>"The Israel Defense Forces tried to shoot down the drone three times – first with a fighter jet, which fired anair-to- air missile at it, andthen with two Patriot missiles. But as far as the army can tell, the drone returned to Syria unscathed.

Maybe it flew really slow and confused everyone
>>30657702
And was made out of plastics. And didn't produce the heat of a jet engine.
>>30657792
more likely the time between the missiles' proximity fuses being triggered and the warhead going off was greater than the time it takes for the missiles to whoosh past the target and outside its own kill radius.
>>30657691
Who did the drone belong to ISIS, Assad or Hezbollah?
>>30657691
fuckin Israelis, just buy a shotgun
>>30657691
>thinking IDF can do anything good besides using artillery on insurgents and civilians
Pls man

>>30658204
This. Just mag dump one of their 10/22s at it
>>30658204
>gunz work like in my video games!
>what is hitting a small drone with your 1337 snipah rifle at 1000 feet against gravity and winds
>>30658200
>0.65 shekels have been deposited into your account
>>30658240
>0.50 virgins have been deposited to your heaven
>>30658231
Just have a helicopter fly next to it and mag dump
Just ram it out of the sky with another drone, works everytime.
>>30658249
>hey we should fly a military helicopter at the border to that civil war shithole and open fire, surely this won't result in negative press or consequences!
>>30658285
yea we should just shoot missles at it with fighter jets and shit instead
>>30658231
You don't actually know the context in which the drone war targeted. Like some other dude said, could have used a heli to get close
>>30658285
Firing patriot missiles and having a jet fire is any better than a guy with a suppressed rifle firing at it?
Those systems are not optimized to intercept small signature UAVs
>>30658247
>implying a JIDF shill would be willing to deposit anything into anyone else's account other than his own
kek
>>30658292
>AA defence systems everybody in that region knows
>AA systems that are fired every few days anyway cause of incoming rockets launched from the peaceful protesters also known as mudslime terrorists
>>30658184
but anon Kebab is Kebab
>>30658324
I don't think you understood that meme.
>>30657691
Drone didndu nuffin, he a good boy.
>>30658308
Isn't that almost worse? It shows incompetence at command level rather than the failures of individual soldiers.
>>30658345
everyone understands the JIDF meme pretty well, and you're providing a great example to boot
Probably would want to use either a heater or a missile with active terminal radar.
PAC-2 is only SAHR
>>30658387
Wrong meme, not sure how you misunderstood me there, then again comprehension isn't your strong suit.
>>30657691
How is this even remotely news?
IDF shoots down drones all the time.
>>30657691
Mini-stingers when?
Something like a gyrojet pistol that fires tiny AA missiles to take out drones.
Why don't they just jam all of the radio signals?
They should've just used a cannon
>>30657691
Go watch the israeli film "Zero Motivation", then it will make perfect sense.
>also implying this isnt a ruse for more "foreign aid" money
>>30658450
>doesn't understand the eternal jew meme
>questions others' comprehension
keep digging JIDF shill
>>30657870
I'd imagine any proper AAM to be capable of engaging a fighter in a supersonic head on aspect, admittedly the fighter is longer but the speeds are much higher.
>>30658662
I understood perfectly what you were trying to meme, but you used it totally wrong.
Anyway it is getting off topic and I don't want to derail the thread.
>>30658743
not really. it's universally appreciated, timeless, and totally applicable if it's a jew talking about accounting in the same sentence.
**Clarification from someone involved in this story**
> No jets, or any ata missiles, were involved. Haaretz being shit again.
> 2 Patriot missiles were fired at the drone, but their mission was canceled for OpSex reasons, so they were detonated mid-air.
> The whole deal took few short minutes, against a small target flying at ~2000m above ground (not familiar with correct terminology). All the talk about "shooting it with guns" might as be about why we didn't send dragons to take it down.
>>30658539
Because we also use radio? And because it's a heavily civilian populated area. And because jamming radio isn't always a counter to drones if the operator has a good preparation, or if it's a kebab drone.
>>30658608
Will you post about this movie in every thread you possibly can? It's a somewhat funny movie with lots of IDF in-jokes and about female empowerment. This movie is hardly what you make it to be.
And no, that's not how the aid money works.
>>30658939
hasbara in full effect
Only reason one would destroy launched patriots is if there was a friendly jet in the vicinity of the target
Israelis should buy SPAAGs. If they cannot get a radar lock, they can use the mk1 eyeball.
Japan makes a nice SPAAG and can now export weapons.
>>30658984
How's that "hasbara"? Like, in, defending a pilots honor for not shooting it down? I don't follow.
Anyway, that's not the reason, and I doubt that you will guess it.
>>30659004
Japan knows that if they export it to Israel, Israel will sell it to China.

I can just picture these inbred jackasses running in circles looking for cover like chickens with their heads cut off.
>Trying to shot down this with a fucking Patriot missile.
Didn't knew kikes are retarded

Either you haven't been paying attention or you live in a non-Jew infested area.
>>30658984
>Only reason one would destroy launched patriots is if there was a friendly jet in the vicinity of the target
or, you know.... they just want newer stock 'donated' to them
>>30658324
You're pretty thick if you misunderstood the meme that hard, anon.
>>30658362
Meh, the other side is worse.
I'm surprised the fighter didn't go for a gun kill. Doesn't the IAF pride themselves on that? Going for gun kills if possible. Or are drones that small and slow it presents a challenge.
>>30660498
Wouldn't it be hard to even see something that small when its likely camouflaged
