Media: Qatar was raided by Israel, why did the full US-made air defense system not respond at all?

According to news from the Privy Council on the 10th, the Israeli Air Force dispatched a large number of fighter planes to launch a long-distance attack on Doha, the capital of Qatar, on the afternoon of the 9th local time, with the intention of launching a "precision strike" against the Hamas leadership in Doha. Not to mention the huge impact of this move on the situation in the Middle East at the political level. What the veteran driver is curious about is, as a close ally of the United States in the Middle East, how can Qatar spend a lot of money to introduce a complete set of US-made air defense systems useless? With so many U.S. military bases in the Middle East and U.S. aircraft carriers wandering near the Persian Gulf, did they not detect the Israeli fighter fleet in advance?

Attacks on Qatar

CNN said on the 10th that Israel's "unprecedented" attack on Qatar "involved more than 10 fighter jets and fired more than 10 pieces of ammunition." As the straight-line distance from Israel to Doha is more than 1,700 kilometers, the official said that these jet fighters need aerial refueling to carry out such a long-range strike.

As for the specific type of aircraft and weapons that Israel has deployed, it has not been disclosed.CNN said that Qatar said that the weapons used by Israel "were not detected by Qatar's radar" and suggested that "Israel's only U.S.-made F-35I fighters have radar hidden capabilities".BBC quoted Israeli media reports as saying that the air force launched 15 F-15 fighters and fired 10 ammunition at a single target.

Israeli military aircraft.

But the problem comes, as one of the closest allies of the United States in the Middle East, Qatar has introduced a full set of U.S. air defense systems - mid-range air defense missile "Patriot-3", mid-range air defense "national advanced air-to-air missiles" and detection of approximately 5,000 kilometers of "laying nails" AN / FPS-132 early warning radar; in 2022 Qatar will spend another $1 billion from the United States to introduce 10 sets of FS-LIDS (fixed low-air, slow, small unmanned defense system abbreviation) anti-drone systems; in May this year, Qatar has also placed the latest order to the United States, purchasing the "Sad" system that can intercept long-range ballistic missiles in the atmosphere.

Overall, Qatar has almost a complete set of U.S. air defense systems, can face the non-hidden Israeli F-15 fighters, these heavy-gold purchases of U.S. equipment, why not use it?

What's more interesting is that the United States has multiple military bases in the Middle East, but they all "can't see" Israeli fighter jets. For example, Al Udeid Air Force Base is the largest comprehensive military base of the United States in the Middle East, just over 30 kilometers away from Doha, the capital of Qatar, which was attacked this time. According to public information, Udeid Air Force Base has deployed multiple sets of "Patriot" and "Sade" air defense and anti-missile systems, and their long-range air defense radars are enough to detect air targets hundreds of kilometers away. At the same time, the US military stationed in the Middle East has also deployed multiple "Patriot" air defense and anti-missile systems in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and other countries.

In addition, according to the U.S. Navy Association website on 8th, the U.S. Navy currently deployed the Canberra offshore combat ship in the Persian Gulf waters, which is also supported by the nearby Nimitz aircraft carrier strike group. The three Ali Burke class destroyers escorted for the aircraft carrier belong to a newer model, equipped with SPY-1D phase-controlled front radar said it can detect air targets 400 kilometers away. Early warning aircraft E-2 departing from the aircraft carrier and E-3 early warning aircraft departing from nearby air base will also regularly patrol in the air.

To know, the Israeli fighter airstrike this time in Qatar, the option of routes is not many ¨C the U.S. ¡°power¡± website ¡°war zone¡± channel said, because Qatar is located in the Persian Gulf, the airstrike operation of the Israeli fighter aircraft belongs to the typical long-distance flight. If the straight line flight, the Israeli Air Force needs to venture across the Saudi airspace, the possibility of being discovered is very high, the more likely flight route is the pattern of airstrike before the Iranian airstrike, through almost no air defense capability of Syria, Iraq airspace, then along the southern Gulf, close to Qatar when launching defense zone long-distance missiles.

That is to say, whether Israeli fighters choose to venture through Saudi airspace directly to Qatar, or circumnavigate Syrian, Iraqi airspace, along the Persian Gulf through Kuwait and near Bahrain, it is theoretically difficult to escape the U.S. military¡¯s air surveillance network in the Middle East ¨C but that¡¯s how the U.S. military is ¡°not seeing¡±.

Foreign media reports

U.S. Axios news site on the 9th that the U.S. military had found Israeli fighter jets flying eastward to the Persian Gulf, the U.S. direction Israel sought "clarification", but when Israel responded, the missiles were already in the air "nearly no time to react".

This is inevitably speculative ¡ª the widespread claim on social media is that the United States has deliberately ¡°disregarded¡± the Israeli air force, and even ¡°distantly shut down Qatar¡¯s U.S. air defense systems, despite not directly supporting Israeli airstrikes.¡±

The air defense system.

A few months ago, in the face of Iranian missile attacks, the US media desperately boasted that Qatar's US-made weapons were invincible; Now that they encounter Israeli air strikes, they are silent...

Despite the absence of direct evidence, outside concerns about the existence of a ¡°backdoor¡± for U.S. arms exports have not existed ¨C as everyone remembers, several months ago, European countries were widespreadly concerned that the U.S. sold F-35 invisible fighter aircraft had a ¡°distance termination switch¡± that could be ¡°stop by one button.¡±

Ironically, the United States often imposes strict restrictions on the use of weapons exported from other countries under the pretext of "destroying regional peace", such as the Pakistani media has repeatedly revealed that the United States has banned the F-16 fighters of the Pakistani Air Force from engaging in offensive operations against India.

As a result of the U.S. act, even the U.S. media couldn¡¯t stand to say the truth: ¡°If allies with close ties with the U.S., such as Qatar, were attacked by Israel, who would be next?¡±
