The suite will include state-of-the-art Electronic Warfare (EW) solution integrated with an advanced Electro-Optical (EO) Passive Missile Warning and Launch Detection System (PAWS), enabling enhanced protection from a wide range of threats bolstering the safety of both aircrews and platforms, according to the press release of Elbit Systems.
“We are honored to be once again selected by the Israel Ministry of Defence and the Israeli Air Force to equip the F-16I fleet with our most cutting-edge self-protection suite,” said Oren Sabag, General Manager of Elbit Systems ISTAR & EW. “In today’s global landscape, safeguarding aerial platforms is crucial. Elbit Systems has cemented its position as a global leader in airborne platform protection, delivering an extensive portfolio of advanced solutions installed onboard various aerial platforms.”
Me: Oren Sabag is correct. But what does it help to have the best jets of we have a coward elected government afraid to use it accordingly. Just to make some raids and defence does not make sense. Today the Airforce took out two muslim terrorists. TWO! For this we do not need an airforce. On the other hand we send our warrior soldiers without proper shelter of the airforce into Aza. What is a proper shelter? To carpet bomb the enemy. No roof knocking. All are warned. In Aza there are only enemies.
