Classic British Flight Sim

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

I have been reading Israeli newspapers every day and today I came across very interesting article that surprised me. Even the British government and military admit it is true.

England has been using spy planes every day to spy on Gaza trying to find and locate hostages for Israel feeding daily intelligence information to Israel.

At first, the British air force used two propeller Shadow R1 planes operating from the British Akrotiri base in Cyprus to spy daily on Gaza trying to find the hostages. But RAF decided to send the propeller planes back home to Lincolnshire base in England and switched to more powerful planes Posedion P8s and River Joint RC-135s capable of picking up any ground's telephone conversations to spy on Gaza trying to help Israel to find 25 more hostages.

Pretty amazing Did not even know that those RAF planes conduct hundreds of sorties every day spying on Gaza trying to find hostages for Israel.

That makes me wonder what altitude Posedion P8s and River Joint RC-135s use to spy on Gaza picking up all telephone conversations going on inside Gaza.

Regards,

Aharon

Thanks for sharing that, Aharon. It's common knowledge that the US is feeding intelligence to Israel, but I didn't know that the RAF was in on it.

Are you referring to my question on what altitude the RC-135 and P-8 use for spying?? I thought everybody knows. I did not know it is secret.

I did NOT even know that Posedian P-8s can be used as spy planes. I thought they are strictly naval warfare operations particularly anti submarine and anti shipping operations.

Considering that the IDF have dropped an average of some 750 tons of bombs on every square mile of Gaza, I am amazed than anyone still has a working phone.

Anyway, I thought that the increase in size of monitoring aircraft was mostly to increase bandwidth to cope with the live streaming of all the conversations between an Israeli citizen ( who we will refer to as A*****) and a mutiplicity of international supermodels......

I'm afraid the radio station carrying the live stream is only available to residents of the UK.

Aharon, it's another saying, like "walls have ears". In times of conflict, people need to be careful of what they say because the enemy will have spies picking up information.

Agree, Allan.
The second part is way over my head though.
