Operation Focus was launched by Israel on June 5th 1967. 450 aircraft were destroyed, resulting in Israel having control of the skies during the 6 Day War.

Doesn’t Israel basically have air superiority against pretty much anyone in the entire region? Not even sure that Turkey could put up much of a fight in the air against them.

If you see white planes they are American. If you see black planes it is the RAF. If you see no planes it is the Luftwaffe!

Tbf Israel did get the drop on them and destroyed most of Egypt’s air force before it could launch
The Arabs did a lot better in the Yom-Kippur War and honestly could have won if Syria didn’t mess up and force the Egyptians out of their SAM envelope.

And their say 10 vs 1 look unfair.
Having intel and air superiority is the pinnacle of modern warfare.

Same as the battle of the bulge, air superiority is key
