go figure...
I heard that the IAF were training the coalition airforces on how to take down arab, soviet made air defences in the first gulf war. Tactics that were developed over Lebanon`s .Bekaa Valley
They did indeed assist in that training as they had already fought them & won. The U.S. & her allies are far from stupid or too proud to learn from anyone, that's why we're the top dogs on the planet.
Lasersailor; The French may have lost battles all over the world, but they could at least
reach those places with military force, Israel can't reach france except with a few little boats & planes that wouldn't be able to return to Israel because of a lack of fuel, Israel does not have I.C.B.M.'s so how would they nuke Paris without losing their entire air force?
France on the other hand has a very healthy supply of thermonuclear I.C.B.M.'s & a very capable air defense.
It's a rather dumb...nay infantile thing to start calling me names because you are argueing a point that neither of us could prove without it actually happening & I say the chances of war between Israel & France are slim to none, so have a beer & chill.
