Because the israelis only fought once with the an equal air force against Pakistani airforce pilots and the whoke world knows israelis never shot a single Pakistani pilot flying arab jets. Of course israelis are used to of fighting infants, elderly and unarmed inmocents
The best but the best air force on the plant.

There's no airforce like the Israeli airforce‼️
That was an amazing operation
I am sure Hafez Alassad helped them!
There must have been bases in desert like the ones they made in Iraqi desert in 2026
Wow
Israel air force pilots are not Tom Cruise, they are simple, good people, but with sharp mind and greatest training.
Also,
They know that the destiny of their country is on their own shoulders.
They are the best pilots in the world.
Also the ground teams, intelligence and supoorters ate the best air force in the world. 🇮🇱
🇮🇱💙🤍💙🫡

The Israelis are capable of extraordinary, military feats. They are a great American ally.
Wrong . The Israelis modified the fuel tanks to carry more fuel

They can do this, because they are meticulous planners, and very smart people. BTW this is what warring nations do.
