Saudi Arabia gives Israel clear skies to attack Iranian nuclear sites

Saudi Arabia has conducted tests to stand down its air defences to enable Israeli jets to make a bombing raid on Iran’s nuclear facilities, The Times can reveal.

In the week that the UN Security Council imposed a new round of sanctions on Tehran, defence sources in the Gulf say that Riyadh has agreed to allow Israel to use a narrow corridor of its airspace in the north of the country to shorten the distance for a bombing run on Iran.

To ensure the Israeli bombers pass unmolested, Riyadh has carried out tests to make certain its own jets are not scrambled and missile defence systems not activated. Once the Israelis are through, the kingdom’s air defences will return to full alert.

Operation Babylon which destroyed the reactor , required multiple F-15 & F-16s of the IDF to fly over Saudi Airspace.

The Saudis had advanced radar systems supplied by the Americans, however they were not able to detect the overflight.

The story I heard from a couple of colleagues was that the Saudis were alerted , but turned a dlind eye for fear of being targeted by Israeli support aircraft.

I used to work at a base in Saudi..

The story goes that, the Israeli pilots communicated in Arabic.. They "warned" the Saudis to stay out of their way as the flew accross their airspace. The Saudi defence systems were online and they knew very quickly that their airspace had been penetrated, but "chose" to turn a deaf ear / blind eye :O)

By hamadaCZ• 13 Jun 2010 19:05

Correct me if am wrong, but I think the Israeli Air force flew over the Jordanian airspace and Saudi :), Saudi had no clue or a radar covering that area. At that time Iraq was fighting a war on behalf of the GCC countries against Iran.

This wasn't the first time for the Jordanian to open their airspace, An iraqi pilot defected to Israel in his MiG21 so the Americans could understand how does the MiG 21 engine operate :)

Saudis are more scared of a Shia Iran than they are of Israel. Israel poses no threat to Saudi but Iran can cause Saudi a lot of trouble. They will probably turn a blind eye if it happens then voice a weak protest.

Nothing New... Last time when Israel attacked the Iraqi reactors, the Israeli Airforce few over Saudi Airspace without being challenged.

During the second Gulf war, the Saudis ballowed US Airforce to use its airbases whilst outwardly pretending to deny them this right - to keep the public happy.

This time the Saudis have given the go ahead because it is in their favour in the long term.

It's politics and the need to keep the Big Dog happy..

It is just like a beautiful lady which is almost out of reach, their will be always comments how reddish cheeks she got, how she used silicon to increase the size of this part or that, not saying that US is always right but if we really look inside the nation of US we will be astonished that it is a mixture of all nationality, and since they all are contributing in ruling, who do we really have to blame.

Persia has always been a source of fear and a threat for Arabia, no one wants to see them getting stronger , but at the same time, there is another scary neighbour , so the best thing would be disarming the whole ME out of WMD and Nukes. Emirates and KSA are already in the process of establishing a civilian nuclear programs, so the race has begun.
