| Do you know how many transitted Moron besides the 3 shown? Because they could be augumenting 31FW as seen in the past, pending potential action against Syria under Nato umbrella? |

I suppose it's possible, though I would actually recommend deployment of F-22s for action against Syria. The Syrian AF and ADF are not a joke and could inflict serious losses on an ill-prepared NATO/EU force. |

| Clearly the AF need look no further than the forums on F-16.net for their Syria OPLAN. |

Clearly.... 
It's clear from anyone who looks at the range of figures that Syria's IADS is large and well-equipped. Their air force has a large number of aircraft, some of reasonable quality. It's a potent threat, and not one that should be left to the Euros. |

You're right (in a way), I daresay their air defenses are more capable than Iran's. Iran does not have multiple confirmed S-300 units. |

| Although there seems to be no appetite for ousting the Syria Govt - just looking at the map you would see that if leaders were very serious about ending the current situation - as far as an air campaign is concerned geographically it would be ideal. Air Defenses or not all you have to do is look at the map. 360 degrees! |

Hi Niels,
Yes, I have seen there´s been a LOT of activity down there as of late!! They were on an exercise in the region, I was told.
Cheers,
Henrik. |
