Mr. Ingress Routes, as usual You are badly misinformed. I pity Israely pilots buried in American flying coffins. Fighting obsolete MiG-23s, being shot down BVR...
At least 2 F-15s were shot down by 21s. State-of-the-art fighters knocked off by 1958 technology
Odd. So you are saying the IAF did NOT have free reign in the skies? Funny... EVERYTHING that can be found about that conflict says otherwise.
It took Israel 10 min. to destroy 17 of the 19 SA-6 sites as well as several SA-2 and SA-3 sites. The two remaning SA-6 sites, as well as a couple other batteries that were resupplied that night were destoyed the following day.
The IAF took NO losses during that engagment. (they did report several planes suffered battle damage).
So all of the Soviet made SAM sites were destroyed (basically in 10min time) and the Syrian Air Force was wiped out.
This is fact.
This isn't opinion.
It can be verified.
The RAND document I posted previously is a translation of a Soviet Air Force article.
I guess you are tying to argue with what the Soviet Air Force said happened at the Bekka Valley.
I guess somehow you are trying to say that the IAF didn't have total and complete air superiority in the Bekka Valley.
Please provide a source.
History tells us otherwise.
(and yes Delirium, I find Boroda's post's hillarious. I find it hard to believe he lives in THIS world)
