Hamas invaded Israel 2023

[Kirkhill]

Fair enough on the cruise missiles and even drones that are going a 1000 km have to be substantial. I just wonder if there is a need for a cheaper munition. For close range the 20/30/40/57/127 should do the job but even something like CAMM/ER seems an expensive tradeoff plus there is a limited amount of loadouts ie in the CSC 24 CAMM and 24 MK41 although some of those could be quadpacked

You mean like this?

Kratos TDI to provide turbine engine for Boeing's attack munition kit

Powered JDAM will provide low-cost stand-off capability against land and maritime threats.

Mk 82 500 pounder
Mk 82 500 pounder plus flight controls and seeker = GBU-12
GBU-12 plus GPS = GBU-38 JDAM
JDAM + Folding Wings = JDAM-ER
JDAM-ER + Turbo Jet = Cruise Missile

Next steps?

Add a rocket booster to achieve

This

The issue is range. If you are defending yourself from a small drone or loitering munition coming right at you, then the 20/30/57/127, RAM, or even CAMMs/ESSM, would suffice. If you are doing area defence against targets crossing at long range, like the Carney was probably doing, you need something with the range and accuracy of an SM2 or Aster 30.

It's also a question of engagement window - was it a crossing target? (very likely) if so, then the other systems mentioned are likely to have a tough time hitting it.

1967 border, hmm.

After the 1967 War, Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban told the United Nations: “The June [1967] map is for us equivalent to insecurity and danger. I do not exaggerate when I say that it has for us something of a memory of Auschwitz.”

A fair decent source for the border and subsequent negotiations.

Looks like Israel’s Shin Bet has established a new unit to track down and, presumably, take out everyone responsible for the initial attacks.

This was going on at the same time.

Someone should tell them how meaningless protesting in Canada is considering our ever growing irrelevance thanks to their favourite sock boy PM.

Based on articles such as this and the Government reaction to Hamas’s claim of the hospital strike, I think the Liberal Government is having an increasingly difficult time rationalizing their desire to support Palestinians for domestic political reasons and supporting a democratic western state in line with the expectations of our allies.

Obviously there is nuance to the entire thing but the Canadian government to me appears tilted towards the Palestine cause while struggling to be seen as supportive of Israel.

 

[Good2Golf]

Interesting insight for those willing to consider that perhaps Canada’s take on the concurrence of peacefulness of Palestinians and the purported representation of this Palestinians by Hamas…

Other world leaders announced that it was a Hamas rocket that hit the hospital. In Canada, that task is delegated to a minister avoids ownership by attributing the statement to the military.

I'm just glad CFINTCOM is getting some credit for it's work... Most people don't know it exists.

 

[Good2Golf]

MND fails to note that CFINTCOM likely provided a detailed report before PM and Joly went all “attack is illegal” fed by Hamas propaganda…

Released as a tweet - by the defence minister so that the PM and foreign affairs don't have to comment - at 9:51 pm on a Saturday night.

It'll be interesting to see when the media actually picks up on this.
