Edifício alvo de ataque de Israel na Síria 'desapareceu'

Imagens de satélite recém-divulgadas do local que foi supostamente alvo de um ataque aéreo de Israel na Síria no mês passado mostram que uma grande edificação que havia no local foi completamente removida.



A informação foi divulgada pelo grupo independente de pesquisas americano ISIS (Instituto para Ciência e Segurança Internacional), que obteve e analisou as imagens.

O edifício de estilo industrial poderia ser um reator nuclear em construção, segundo o ISIS.

A Síria disse nunca ter tido nenhum plano para construir um reator nuclear.

As imagens sugerem que, por alguma razão, as autoridades sírias fizeram um grande esforço para remover qualquer vestígio das instalações.

Há apenas alguns dias, o ISIS divulgou imagens de satélite de uma instalação no norte da Síria que a organização acreditava ser o alvo de um ataque israelense no dia 6 de setembro.

As imagens eram anteriores ao ataque. Mas elas mostravam um grande edifício industrial e uma estação de bombeamento perto do rio Eufrates que a organização acreditava que pudessem ser um reator em construção.

As imagens, porém, eram inconclusivas.

Agora o ISIS divulgou uma imagem mais recente do mesmo local, tomada no dia 24 de outubro, mais de seis semanas após o suposto ataque aéreo.

A imagem mostra que o edifício suspeito de ser um reator em construção foi completamente removido e o terreno completamente limpo.

Em seu relatório, o ISIS diz que uma comparação entre as imagens de antes e depois efetivamente confirma que o local foi de fato alvo do ataque israelense.

Ele argumenta que "o desmantelamento e a remoção do edifício com tal rapidez complica dramaticamente qualquer inspeção das instalações e sugere que a Síria pode estar tentando esconder o que havia ali".

O relatório também levanta questões sobre se a Síria poderia estar em desacordo com seu acordo de salvaguardas assinado com a Agência Internacional de Energia Atômica (AIEA).

Sob esse acordo, o país é obrigado a notificar a agência nuclear da ONU sobre qualquer plano de construir novas instalações nucleares.

Onde vc arrumou minha foto?????

Falar nisso acabei de abrir uma BUd litro , imported from paragueition

Pô, tirei essa fotinha depois de beber 385,3 Antárticas no meu aniversário de 38 anos.

Primo, cuidado com essa Bud, pode vir do mesmo fornecedor do leite integral da Parmalat, o Caustic Milk.

Grande abraço.

Av Week: Another Look at the Israel v Syria Raid

Israel used several new intelligence-gathering and strike technologies in its raid on Syria. New details of the attack involve a train of capabilities extending from satellite observations to precision bombing of the suspect facility on Sept. 6.

The launch of a new satellite this summer allowed the integration of several advanced technologies including electro-optical imaging from space, image-enhancing algorithms, scene-matching guidance for precision weapons and the use of advanced targeting pods carried by the Israeli Air Force's two-man F-16Is (the pods are not available on F-15Is).

In a series of interviews, several specialists detailed the technologies and how they were used. "Reality is more impressive than your imagination in some areas,"says a senior military officer.

Space observations provided early planning details for the raid. The important satellite for the Syrian raid was Ofeq-7 launched on June 11th. It has multi-spectral and high resolution electro-optical sensors and a resolution of less than a half-meter, far better than that provided by earlier Israeli satellites.

The space images were then improved by specialized imagery enhancement algorithms to sharpen pictures for planning precision bombing attacks.

The primary aircraft for the Syrian raid were some of the new, two-man Lockheed Martin F-16Is (Sufa or Storm) that Lockheed Martin began delivering to the Israeli Air Force in Feb. 2004. The backseater is a weapons systems officer who can focus on targeting and electronic warfare while the pilot focuses on flying and evading air defenses. Conformal fuel tanks give the fighters an unrefueled combat radius of over 500 mi. which matches the unrefueled range of F-15Is which would normally escort a flight of strike aircraft.

Sensors on the $45 million F-16I include a APG-68(v)9 radar with high-resolution synthetic aperture radar mapping capability and about 30% more range that other mechanically scanned radars.

But more importantly for this raid, the fighter had the Litening targeting pod. Its EO imagery can be used for seeker cueing. That imagery can also be used for scene-matching with the observations made by the satellite.

But more importantly for this raid, the fighter had the Litening targeting pod. Its EO imagery can be used for seeker cueing. That imagery can also be used for scene-matching with the observations made by the satellite.

In scene-matching, the enhanced satellite image is calibrated with width, depth, length and corners into a pattern that can be used by the F-16 mission planning system. This pattern can include objects as small as doors and windows, critical targets when attacking a hardened site. The mission planning system hands off the calibrated pattern to the Litening pod, which looks for a match.

Finally, the Spice missile looks for the same match. If it cannot find a match, it reverts to GPS. However, GPS can be jammed and has built-in imprecision. A typical counter for these GPS problems is laser-guided targeting. But with deep targets, like the Syrian site, where laser targeting by military personnel is difficult and dangerous to achieve, scene-matching can provide incredible precision.

The Spice 2000 precision guided weapon is part of a family of weapons developed by Rafael, but it's the only one currently operational with the IAF. It has a standoff range of 60 km. (37 mi.) which is considerably longer than the standard U.S.-build Joint Direct Attack Munition.
