GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY…….
Iran on Monday, October 1st, launched a squadron of 11 Stealth UAV’s (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) to attack ISIS in East Syria. Not a single Israeli or American aircraft took to the air to stop them. They are reliably reported to be Saeqehs (Thunderbolts) replicas of the US RQ-170 Sentinel drone which the Iranians downed seven years ago, during Barack Obama’s Presidency. The Iranians copied it with the help of Chinese engineers.. These UAV’s can reach not only Syria, but also Israel. Together with the recently supplied Russian S-300 air defence system, this seems to indicate a serious escalation in hostilities in the Middle East.
I was reminded of the Nursery Rhyme, ‘Little Bo Peep’
The U.S. of A. once lost its drone
And didn’t know where to find it.
It left it alone and now it’s come home
Bringing Iran behind it.

Chugley’s comments whetted my interest to read more on this topic. My reading suggests Syria has become a testing ground for new missile types. Israel, USA and Russia (with Iran) all have new (mostly SAM) missiles being tested in this Syrian theatre. Sadly, the aim of each of these weapons is to maximise the killing success rate. Israel is desperately trying to keep ahead of the military technology game in order to secure its national security. According to the Good Book, Israel already has an Almighty advantage over her foes in these darkening days!
It seems to this monkey that things are, as you say, hotting up Paul. I am not really keen on this evolving idea, I think I’ll stay in my zoo! Gibber! Gibber! Chugley
