Revealed: Israel 'Struck Advanced Iranian Air-defense System' in Syria

Most of their nuclear scientists studied abroad. This is how Iran gets knowledge, by sending people to the west.

Well Iran is expected to closely follow Pakistan example..but Pakistan has first mover advantage at an era when computerized technology was near absent..now a days such is not the case...and Iran will find it very difficult to smuggle sensitive electronics and crucial components.

Where do you think Israel is studied.
Time is cyclical. Once all the learning was in the Muslim world and the West went there now it's the opposite and changing again to the east.

why not sanction Israel for nuclear program?
if Israel have the right to get out then every one else too have that right. Iran a far bigger country than Israel should get nuclear weapon to protect itself from nuclear Israel.

The Tor (Torus) is a Soviet air defense missile system. It is known in the West as SA-15 or Gauntlet. Development of this SAM system commenced in 1975. It was developed as a successor to the Osa (SA-8 Gecko). The main goal was to shoot down air launched cruise missiles.
This system can engage all kinds of modern air targets. It is used against aircraft, helicopters, UAVs, missiles and precision guided munitions. It destroys targets that long- and medium-range air defense systems fail to hit.
The Tor combat vehicle has radar and missiles based on a single vehicle. TELAR vehicle carries 8 missiles.
Maximum range of fire is 5-12 km and maximum altitude is 4-6 km, depending on the target speed.
Maximum range of fire is 5-12 km and maximum altitude is 4-6 km, depending on the target speed.
The original Tor can engage only one target at a time. Kill probability with a single missile is 26-75% against aircraft, 50-88% against helicopters, and 85-95% against UAVs. This number depends on the target altitude. The higher the target, more chances that it will be hit.
The Tor radar detects aircraft at a range of 25-27 km, helicopters at a range of 12 km and UAVs at a range of 9-15 km. Tracking range is about 20 km. System can search for targets while on the move. The Tor can also detect and intercept anti-radiation missiles.
The Tor has a brief reaction time. It takes only 8-12 seconds from target detection to launch. TELAR vehicle can stop and launch its missiles within 3 minutes from travelling. However the Tor can not launch missiles on the move. It launches them from stationary position or from short stops.

for air defense against fighter jets using sam only is not sufficient but combination of air to air combat and sam is required for defense.i think iran and syria not using fighter jets for air to air combat against israel

Each country have a choice.

Either sign the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty or not.
If You, like Israel, Pakistan and India did not sign, you have accepted that you cannot get any assistance for civilian nuclear use, but You can develop nuclear weapons.
If You, like Iran, has signed the treaty, You have accepted that you may not develop nuclear weapons, and doing so is a violation of the treaty, and you may be punished if you do.

But they asked Iran either sign additional protocol or we put sanctions on you .. why not isreal?

 

[A.P. Richelieu]

Because Iran was showing signs of violating the treaty.
Israel is not bound by a treaty it did not sign.

 

[Sinnerman108]

If it got struck that easy, then it wasn't very advanced anyway.

Why NK is also sanctioned?? You are just trying to legalize Israeli nukes as it is in interest of west. Hypocrisy is what west is at best in International affairs.

Because NK also signed the treaty. They are also still at war with SK.
Ignoring Facts and crying about unfairness is what You and your peers excel at.

Countries can leave NPT there is no restriction on it, west create treaties and organizations to keep control over world. They have favorable clause for them.

Why India is giving special treatment in NSG bypassing its rules?? Why US sold long range CMs to UK?? It all about getting your job done and putting others in hot waters if they are not aligned with western interests.

NSG and CM has nothing to do with the NPT. Open a thread about it if You want to discuss,
All countries are free to decide whether they want to sign treaties or not,
so I don’t understand Your whining.

the problem is even before Any claims about violating NPT by Iran you guys failed your obligation by NPT in transferring civilian nuclear technologies.

Feel free to set up sanctions, if you think they are warranted.
