I have never used this link before and know nothing about it, but the story is intriguing. According to DEBKAfile, an Iranian air show scheduled for April 18 of this year was cancelled because of a warning to Iran from Russia that Israel might be planning to attack all the aircraft gathered in one place. This is interesting for a few reasons.
1. Russia wanted to protect the 140 Iranian fighter-bombers from being destroyed. Why?
2. It would make sense that before Israel went after Iran's nuclear sites, they would have to destroy as much of the air force and ground-to-air missles as possible, so it is not unreasonable to assume they may have considered a strike.
3. Israel used this tactic to wipe out the Egyptian air force early in the 1967 war.
This is one of the things that reminds us that we live in a very unsafe world.
