Cheers Peter.
I see the advantage in getting height then KE for bunker busting, not so much for non hardened surface buildings though.
Beeb covered our little intervention here:

Defence wiki thing I read basically said there are all kinds of flight profiles depending on target, missile etc.
Not really looked, but I wonder how “stealthy” these systems are.
Oh, and from what the Russians are saying (so no way to know the truth), they didn’t use their modern air defence systems, only the Syrians used their “old Soviet” era tech.
Have to say, looking at the satellite photos on the Wail, if that’s the damage that a small percentage of hits can do, then Assad + Russians should definitely be worried.
Or, maybe the Kremlin mouthpiece who said they’d taken out the majority of missiles, is related to Comical Ali...
