They’ve done just that over and over just two weeks prior to this they’ve killed al-Masri in Teheran by shooting up his car.
You still need just as many operatives in country for this fantasy, but you also need to be able to smuggle high end equipment and set it up and test it, this are additional complications that increase the risk of failure and capture nor reduce it.
- originalvichy 6y agoObviously we’re throwing up ideas, but I don’t see how it’s riskier to set up a gun and leave the area as far as possible vs. set up a hit and run and try to successfully escape in a crowded city. You probably can send pre-built turret parts and let one man set it up over a few days easier. Just my opinion
- dogma1138 6y agoBecause real life doesn’t work like that. Getting in hardware is harder than getting in people who already are likely in country because they are local assets not agents. You need to set it up, test it, move it to the target all without being detected and still have a backup plan and local observers to support it. It adds complexity and risk it does not reduce it and intelligence agencies dont like complicated.
