It was A-7H. Those a/c will be retired in few months

On 17 January 1991, Osirak was attacked a third time by 56 USAF F-16Cs supported by F-15C CAP, AWACS, Tankers and Sparkvarks. Between many SAMs in the air and Iraqi smoke pots obscuring the target, the attack was a total failure and 2 F-16s were shot down by SAMs. I’ve seen F-16 HUD video from the attack and it was ugly, ugly, ugly.

On 20 January 1991 a fourth attack on Osirak was made by eight F-117s supported by 2 tankers. The target was wrecked by hits from sixteen 2000 lb bombs and all aircraft returned without damage. Score one for stealth and PGMs.

Could you provide some sources for the above claim?

Mystic, if u have no interest in this thread then y not bugger off????

Turkey and Greece could easily go to war, maybe not full scale but certainly over Cyprus, Aegean Islands or the Bosphurus and there is not a damn thing the US, NATO or the EU could do about it!!!

This thread should therefore be directed toward what if Turkey launched an attack on Southern Cyprus just to give an example of a small scale war between the two, could Greece get aid through? Does the Hellenic Navy have the power to break a blockade?

Anyone who says this isn’t possible needs to read some history books, and if ur not interested in “vs.” threads then don’t reply, it isn’t an obligation to reply to every thread. (Mystic) 😡

I didnt express my view on the Greece vs Turkey scenario since you missed to notice that…

Nonetheless, I enjoy reading your expertize views on that matter… 😉

Thats because the underdogs have nothing to loose… Life is full of underdogs achievements

Looking at the orbat must say for its size and economy, Turkey has a HUGELY powerful TuAF.

with the addition of Ereyie definitely a top drawer AF.

Judging by that post I can see how people who dont know even the fundamentals of those two countries, post their views just for the shake of posting…

PS:Tuaf doesnt have Erieye

15 new bulits + 3 options = 18
10 upgraded from EGM standard + 5 options = 15

15+18=33 Mirage 2000-5 MkII’s which leaves 17 EGM/BGM’s.

I know, I know, its Verykokos but this time he’s correct…

28 or 33 Mirage2000-5mk2 is a more than decent number of aircrafts for a squadron. Glad about that.

Its 18+10= 28 Mirage2000-5mk2
