So i guess the planes which were shot down in droves by Egypt during you kippur war weren't israeli,either?
Dear Syria's Air Defence:
I tried looking up the word "droves" and while it seems to mean something along the lines of a whole heck of a lot, I didn't find any specific references to how many planes that would mean. I did, however, find this reference to numbers of planes shot down in Wikipedia for 1973:
"During the Yom Kippur War of October 1973, the Israeli Air Force shot down 334 enemy warplanes in air-to-air combat for the loss of only five of its own. A further 180 Arab aircraft were shot down or lost due to circumstances other than aerial combat. The IAF lost 104 aircraft, nearly all due to anti aircraft artillery or surface-to-air missile fire."
That comes to 514 Arab planes shot down as compared to 104 Israeli planes. I'm not sure that "droves" is the right word - considering as well, the fact that the war was started on Yom Kippur.
Yeah, 5 to 1 sounds about right...though I believe we easily beat that record in most other conflicts.
Yes it's a good record for anyone who isn't biased but it's a bad record for someone who said a downed plane can't be Israli plane
Oh i see you only publish comments which a favourable for you or which give you a opportunity to brag about
