Apologies for my mistake.
>you spelled "fighting smart hiding behind things, not standing in a crowd getting shot in the open" wrong.
In any case, giving credit where credit is due, tactically this was a smart move. Shadowing the larger Russian AWAC and using it as cover knowing the deficiencies of Syrian AA defenses was a good tactical move.
Viewing it from a larger, long term perspective was achieving success during this mission worth the accident that was likely to happen due to the evasive strategy employed by the Israeli aircraft?
When you use these kind of tactics and tricks, what is the worst that can happen and are the repercussions and the reverberations from the worst worth in in the long term despite the short term victories.
Yea, the bombing missile run by the Israeli jets was successful but it still places Israel in the bad light and gives it a bad rap once again for using underhanded tactics.
