US moving Bradleys back into Syria. Clearly nothing to do with recent road rage incidents or the attacks on US troops in Iraq. Or even this

I wouldn't like to be in the place if the US generals right now in D.C.
They need to plan to face Russians in Europe and Syria and China in Asia.
They should be pissing their pants. That's why they increased b-52 flights. They have nothing else than bluff.

Big Ugly Fat Fucker... though in the western military magazines of the 1980s it was Big Ugly Fat Fellow.... perhaps in the 21st century you can call it big but you can't call it ugly or fat so it really needs a new nickname...

That's bullshit. The radar facing Gaza are facing the south and russian ships are in the north 200 or 300km away and radar horizon applies to jammers too.
It's just that those Israeli AD system suck.

It is the nickname the pilots give it so I think you are on the right track but something more along the lines of:
OTYG.... older than your grandfather
BBYG... born before your grandfather...
Does anyone know how true this is? I never heard about this?
What evidence can be collected by commercial satellites to prove the use or otherwise of EW equipment?
Why would the Russian Navy want to fake an attack from the Gaza Strip on Israel? The risk of direct retaliation would do the Palestinians no favours... especially as they will receive punishment for a crime this time they did not commit...
If anything they would be jamming unprovoked Israeli attacks on Syria.
Which makes me think it is about propaganda... concealing Israeli aggression in Syria.... the stand off attacks they launch, and suggesting a Palestinian attack that never happened... and the Russians are to blame...
Did they get the information from the Steele report?

I rather not be in any of these in ATGM rich environment. Even heaviest Bradley (these in Syria don't look very uparmoured) is just a target practice for TOW/Kornet/HJ-8. Puma, or even better, Namer/T-15 would be better suited, but also heavy IEDs and now popular EFPs don't discriminate who they kill.

In so many years - Israel and Russia maintained direct phoneline, traded, Israel didn't impose any sanctions on Russia, didn't shoot down Russian planes or drones when they crossed into what is considered Israeli airspace and vice versa. Russia could have downed Israeli planes so many times, but they didn't. Bibi visited Moscow 3000x times, according to Tass Russia and Israel is in talks about Covid vaccines.
Say what do you want, but Russia and Israel in no way confrontational

What a piece of BS. Can´t be a message to ISIS because they and the muricans are partners. Russian reaction:

I agree, the Russians and Israelis are communicating and cooperating based on their own interests, which makes the Russians faking a digital missile attack on Israel... presumably to get them to attack in return the Palestinians... but how does Russia benefit from that whether they believe it is an attack or not?
Which makes me think it has nothing at all to do with Russia or Russian ships... why would a Russian ship want to make an enemy installation believe it was under rocket attack from another direction?
They are making up bullshit, but why? Are they planning to open fire on Russian ships and use this as an excuse to justify an attack?
Israel used Russians as meat shields in their attacks on Syria and in response despite all Israeli efforts to try to blame Syria, Russia knew what had happened and and took appropriate measures to make sure it didn't happen again.

Starting to protect themselves? Cheaper than Russian equivalent or Russia not wanting to supply?

Iran are using likely SAMs and gun systems to defend their own units and Syrian units in Syria... using Russian systems would mean they would need to buy such systems from Russia or transfer such systems from their own defences.
They produce a lot of their own systems, some of which is Iranian modified foreign designs or licence produced designs and they also buy stuff directly from foreign companies.
It just makes sense to use stuff they make themselves... they might be licence produced Igla-S missiles, or other weapons they produce themselves, but because they make it it will be cheaper than having to buy from Russia and then send to Syria.
They would probably also see it as a chance to test their gear against Israel... which I think you will agree is the sort of enemy they will likely want to be able to effectively use their new weapons against along with the US, so it is good practise and good testing to use them to stop Israeli standoff munitions and drones.

"Russian Private Military Contractors In Action Against ISIS In Syria (Video 18+)."
This is a alleged video of Russian Private Military Contractors in Syria, I don't know how legitimate the video is.
Can someone one on this site confirm how accurate this video is?
The video is very graphic(I generally don't post this because this is war but this is video is very graphic, so Viewer Direction is Advised.)

Perhaps, if the IAF don't want the Iranians to test their SAMs against their (or US used by them) missiles and glide bombs, the IAF might have to change their tactics.
As a minimum this will piss them off. Still well deserved pushback against their moves in the Gulf.
