The F4 Phantom fighter is a successful second-generation fighter. At least compared to other second-generation fighters, it is considered an all-rounder.
The dogfight is not the real situation between the Phantom and the Iraqi Long Arrow. Whether it is the Phantom flown by the Israeli Air Force or the Handsome Man flown by the Iraqi pilots, they are all weak in this aspect. Relatively speaking, the Phantom fighter jets are better than the Handsome Man in dogfights.
There are some, but they are just some.
Therefore, in the skies over Gaza, the mode of combat between the two air forces is to fly kites, find targets to launch missiles, or find enemy air-to-air missiles coming, and use speed to throw away the threat.
It is impossible to expect to fly a high-altitude and high-speed fighter jet to engage in a fierce chase, all kinds of fancy fights, and a life-and-death battle. The second-generation fighter jet does not know how far it will fly even with a turn. In fact,
It's impossible to do this.
But it cannot be said that the air battle at this point was not fierce. Even in the agricultural era, the bombardment between two trebuchets was very fierce. No one dared to let the flying boulder really hit.
But the consequence of this kind of air battle is that Israel lost more than 20 fighter jets and gained more than 30 victories, but it fired nearly 400 air-to-air missiles.
The fighter jets from the Iraqi Air Force that came to support also emptied all their mounted weapons and returned directly to the country to replace them with the next batch of fighter jets.
If this intensity continues, in less than a week, the war patterns of both warring parties will be demonstrated in front of the whole world, what is the regression of civilization. Even if the United States is as wealthy as the United States, it honestly used B52 to carry out carpet warfare during the Vietnam War.
For bombing, of course the United States has more advanced strategic bombers, but using the B52 is the most economical.
Faced with the difficulties faced by the El-Arish air defense tower and the urban area, the Israeli Ministry of Defense launched a discussion and concluded that it could no longer waste time in front of this difficult nut.
The prospect of capturing El-Arish and depriving the Egyptian army of supplies in the Sinai Peninsula is great, but if precious offensive time is wasted, the gain outweighs the gain.
Israel itself is at a military disadvantage. The defenders in the Sinai Peninsula are twice as many as the attacking Israeli army. Israel has no time to waste here. Conquering the important supply base and railway hub of El-Arish is obviously not something that can be accomplished in a short time. It will be done very quickly.
Israel made adjustments with the core purpose of annihilating Egypt's effective forces.
The setback at El-Arish and the Iraqi Air Force's participation in the war caused huge losses to the Israeli Air Force, especially the fact that so many air-to-air missiles were fired in one day. This caused a sense of gloom in the hearts of Israeli senior officials, including Mrs. Meir, and there was little progress.
Okay, if the fight continues like this, the final result may not be what Israel wants.
At this moment, an air defense siren suddenly sounded in Tel Aviv, which surprised everyone. Could it be that the Arab air force had penetrated deeply into the Israeli capital?
Of course not. The Scud missile, with its parabola unique to ballistic missiles, tells the Israelis that besides airplanes, there are other things that can fly in the world.
Behind the Golan Heights, Syria did not hesitate to use Soviet-assisted Scud missiles to attack major Israeli cities and transportation hubs.
The use of ballistic missiles to attack cities in hostile countries originally only appeared in large numbers during the Iran-Iraq War. It would not have appeared in previous Middle East wars. It was not until the end of the Fourth Middle East War that the Soviet Union considered strategic balance and provided Arab countries with
Scud missile.
Perhaps after this war, Israel will think carefully about how to deal with the threat of tactical missiles, and the Iron Dome system may enter the stage of history early.
Of the twenty-four Scud missile launchers obtained by Syria, half of them were launched directly to attack important targets in Israel and to prepare for mobilization at preparatory assembly points.
The effect of the Scud missiles launched by Syria is quite significant. The remarkable thing is not how high the flames rise on the hit target, nor how big the crater is created, but it lets the Israelis know that there is no
Where is safe.
"Egypt has two giant air defense towers, one at each end of the Suez Canal. The air defense tower at El-Arish blocked the advance of our offensive troops. Not only in the direction of Egypt, there are also similar giant ones behind the Gaza Strip controlled by Jordan.
The air defense tower is reportedly used by the British to exchange the management rights of the Suez Canal and the Jordanian currency with the two countries."
When Defense Minister Moshe Dayan spoke, the eyepatch on his face moved and moved, which also showed that the one-eyed general was not at peace in his heart.
Of course Israel knew about the construction of such giant air defense towers, otherwise it would look down on Mossad. However, these air defense towers were built within the borders of the two countries. Israel could not object to the establishment of defense facilities in its own country at that time. Of course,
Israel has also protested to the United Kingdom, but apparently on the issue of management rights to the Suez Canal, Israel's protest is still somewhat weak.
Unexpectedly, this giant motionless air defense tower has become the source of Israel's current difficulties. Israel actually faced the difficulties of World War I in the 1970s.
Twenty-four hours after the war started, Israel faced a mixed situation. Fortunately, the Egyptian Air Force existed in name only. Although Israel also paid a certain price, forty fighter jets were shot down by the counterattacking Egyptian Air Force and anti-aircraft missiles, but in exchange for Egypt's
With the destruction of this strongest opponent's air power, in addition to the Egyptian Air Force, Syria and Jordan also lost a lot of strength.
However, it was unexpected that the Iraqi Air Force, which is equally powerful in the Arab world, joined the war so quickly.
Moreover, the offensive in the Sinai Peninsula did not go smoothly, and we had to choose a more risky approach. We were just attacked by tactical missiles. Egypt and Syria, one in the south and one in the north, announced at the beginning that they were going to mobilize.
The statement that the war is protracted is even more worrying.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It has only been a day of fighting, and Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Iraq, as well as Yemen a little later, have already joined the war or expressed their intention to join the war, and there are more
Arab countries have expressed their willingness to provide financial and military support. More than a dozen Arab countries have expressed their stance in unison, and even some non-Arab but peaceful countries have expressed solidarity. This has brought unprecedented pressure to Israel.
Coincidentally, Alan Wilson was also talking about the direction of the war on the first day. To be honest, because it had only been one day, the war was still in the fog, and it was difficult for him to distinguish whether the news was true or false. However, it seemed that the Arab side did not have any plans on the first day.
It was stewed in one spoonful.
"There are five Arab countries that have clearly participated in the war. The relationship between the United Kingdom and Jordan and Iraq is not bad. As for Syria and Yemen, they are from the Soviet side." Alan Wilson said to his wife in a narrative tone, "There are also many Arab countries.
The country said it would donate money and materials to help the warring countries purchase armaments. Libya and Kuwait have both expressed their stance."
"So many countries?" Pamela Mountbatten thought for a moment and asked, "What about Oman? Didn't we just talk about it before? Oman has not expressed its position."
"No, Oman is not a stakeholder, but it has expressed support at the diplomatic level." Alan Wilson nodded and said, "If Kemal had not abolished the Caliphate, it would have been said that the Caliphate had declared a jihad against Israel.
Some people believe it."
Regarding Kemal's abolition of the caliphate, although he was the sultan and caliph of the Ottoman Empire, Arabs viewed this matter in later generations with obvious polarization.
Some Arabs believe that Kemal abolished the Caliphate, the spiritual co-leader of the Peace Religion, which greatly weakened the cohesion of the Peace Religion. But if it had not been abolished, the Caliph would have been a Turk, so...
The last person who still wants to restore the caliphate system is also related to this Middle East war. He is the father of the King of Egypt and the previous king Farouk I. But what if Farouk I becomes the caliph?
It is always somewhat detrimental to the authority of the Caliph. The Caliph's second profession is a thief?
"My dear, who do you think will win, and will Israel fail?" Pamela Mountbatten asked. The richest woman does not think that supreme authority is exhaustive, but this is her husband who does not ask his own husband?
“Israel will not fail,
As for who can achieve a more favorable situation for peace talks, in the final analysis, we still have to fight a ground war." Alan Wilson shook his head. He never believed that Israel would fail. There are people in Israel who are equal in bombing. I really feel that the disaster is right in front of me. Israel will
Lit out.
Apart from the option of Israel's defeat, Alan Wilson has laid out an iron tortoise line of defense to prevent Israel from going too smoothly. Israel, which is not very arrogant, has more value in offshore balance.
As night fell, the participating countries were not idle. They were all using diplomatic means to win over supporters. Among other things, the King of Egypt had already explained through the Paris embassy that the Egyptian Air Force had suffered serious losses due to Israel's shameless sneak attack.

Military operations pose a huge threat to the security of the Suez Canal.
Egypt's diplomacy is of course fruitful, especially among Arab countries. King Idris I of Libya has announced that Libya will fund the reconstruction of Egypt's air force, and has ordered air force pilots and Libyan Air Force fighter jets to fly to Egypt to supplement the Kingdom of Egypt.
Losses suffered by Israeli air strikes.
The actions of King Idris I have aroused the awe of the Arab world. Al Jazeera, founded by Vivien Leigh, has expressed its admiration for Idris I in the news.
Although this is not as exciting as a big victory on the battlefield, it is enough for the Arabs to sing praises for the act of unity.
So far, the fighting on the ground battlefield and in the sky has been fierce, but the sea has been calm for the time being. Fuad II is preparing to meet Saudi King Faisal, hoping to gain greater support.
