I do not see the data, I am sure that kdrafat could enlighten us both here with that data, Arthur,SOC etc are not here, you are, you are claiming it, whydon’t you bring it up,
are you following the logic here??? when I debate something you guys say I’m Syrian so my info isn’t correct and when I indicate other people you ask me to debate !!! 😮 r u drunk?
it would make for an interesting discussion actually, as for Syrian pilots, I believe that there was a time when even Pakistani pilots were asked to fly for Syria vs Israel, I can only assume that is because of a general lack in numbers of skilled Syrian pilots.
people fly in such situations everywhere, Syrian pilots flew for the Lybian air force for two decades – before Bush Jr bought Qaddafi – North Korean pilot flew for Egypt, 12 Pakistanis won’t make any difference at the front and they were sent as a show of BROTHERHOOD not to save the day, I can mention cases of almost all the AFs around the world sending pilots to fly with friendly AFs one time or an other, you need to take logic 101 once again.
PII, you know very well the SyAAF NEVER EVER claimed that E-2C, it was an Ukranian magazine that came up with the claim.
besides, did you read the date on the post related to my age???.
I see you went to ACIG for confirmation and found more info, why not share with us?.
oh my God, you always have 3 years lagg in everything, you are lagging in my age info, you are lagging in your 1982 war data base … you are the king of lagging dude.
I will not argue any more, you just chose any one of the people I reffered to and ask them … or do you consider them not to know anything about the war too?.
when exactly was the last time you visited ACIG and read the newly researched data?
anyways to my original question, Kfadrat were these claimed F-16s sopposidely destroyed by R-23?
two of them were, the third an R-60, but knowing that ONLY one kill is confirmed so far I really can’t answer your question in a desirable way.
may be the American or the Indian kids can 😀 once they are done putting words in my mouth.
ok, now I have to convince two kids not to put words in my mouth and that their primary aviation history education was wrong, may be I’m not to be trusted – in your sick kiddy minds – in this matter but why don’t you ask people like Arthur, Tom, Steve or SOC about this, may be they could teach yah kids a few lessons.
anybody cares to comment? :rolleyes: :

Israeli Justice Minister compares Rafah raid to Nazi actions
23-05-2004, 11:55
An Israeli Cabinet minister on Sunday said the military’s demolition of Palestinian homes in the Gaza Strip reminded
him of actions the Nazis took against his family during World War II and called for a halt to the policy of destroying homes.
The remarks by Justice Minister Yosef Lapid, a Holocaust
survivor, sparked an uproar at the weekly Cabinet meeting,
according to officials at the meeting.
The ministers were discussing Israel’s demolition of homes
in the Rafah refugee camp. Dozens of homes have been
destroyed or damaged during an ongoing offensive along the
Gaza-Egypt border.
Lapid was quoted by officials at the meeting as saying a
picture of an old Palestinian woman on the rubbles of her
home reminded him “of my grandmother in the Holocaust.”
The statement outraged Likud Party ministers, who demanded he recant.
For his part, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said such comments add “oil to the fire of incitement.” Lapid said he was not comparing Israel to the Nazis but there “is no forgiveness for people who treat an old woman in this way.” (Albawaba.com)

may be I’m not the only one comparing those acts after all.
13 IDF/AF planes were lost in air-to-air combat?
Well that’s certainly news to me…..
WHERE EXACTLY DO I SAY THAT???
I said 13 aircraft were shot down, I never said in air to air combat, actually these were the result of SAMs, AAA AND A2A Combat.
Well in adding up the tallies of air-to-air victories that were confirmed that I can find, the overall kill ratio of the IDF/AF versus the SyAF is about 5.4 to 1. That’s pretty one-sided I’d say….
well what do you expect if you launch 4 AA-2s at a Phantom and it still flies after taking two hits … how frustorated would you feel when you don’t even have a gun to finish her off???
1948
1 to 1 (yay they’re even….. :))
is that a bad thing??? :confused: .
1967
5.3 to 1
what’s that??? depending on what numbers? latest research brought up gun camera proven kills for THREE adetional Mysters from 67 do you know that?.
pre-1973 (i.e. War of Attrition and any victories up until the Yom Kippur War)
12 to 1
once again you are NOT using numbers but ratios, I guess that was my mistake I should’ve made my demand clearer, numbers + ratios.
1973 (Yom Kippur War)
1.5 to 1
how bad is that? doesn’t it say something about Syrian pilots’ skills regardless of their INFERIOR equipment??? 😉 .
pre-1982
3 to 1
aha !!!
1982
93 to 0
quite impressive ha 😀 and the source should be very valid, especially that out of 85 lost Syrian aircraft, 4 were freindly fire and some 15 were lost to Israeli air defenses, not to mention 2 accidents.
and the Israeli aircraft that were shot down including a lovely Phantom that was confirmed by US defense department as shot down in A2A combat are nill in your tally too, must have been imagined by your own defense department eyh.
post-1982
6 to 0
So now tell me……how is it that IDF/AF pilots are NOT superior?
you tell me how they are, have they ever been put in MiG-21s againist MiG-21s before??? not to mention againist F-15s … no … I didn’t think so :rolleyes: .
for better reading about this I suggest people go the apropriate threads on ACIG.org instead of spreading their illusions and confusions all around.
for example, adrian is talking about the RF-4E or F-4E(S) that was shot down by an SA-8 in an ambush waaaay after the Bekaa Valley air-battles ended … still he confuses it with the actuall fight, he also talks about the F-15 that took a direct R-60 hit from a MiG-21, which BTW proves my thiory about Russian equipment being responsible for the loss of the 1982 battle in the air.
and I’ll have to consentrate on this in the air thing, although from a stratigical point of view the battle wasn’t even lost in the air, the SyAAF kept fighting till the last moment, keeping the Israelis from controling the skys and providing adequate protection for the ground troops to fight on, haven’t they sacrificed their planes and pilots the situation on the ground would’ve changed in a really bad way.
adding to that that 13 Israeli aircraft are now known to have been shot down in 82 ( many of them confirmed with PICTURES of wrecks ) and that 10 other cases are still on research by people who are looking for the facts not just sitting on their arses – like a young American friends of ours on this forum – and repeating like a parrot what the Israelis say, we know that the battle was indeed fought with profecency, but what to do about missiles that aren’t good enough to kill or radars that are easy to jamm ?????
finally PII, would you stop showing yourself as an idiot and start making sense with your posts, instead of saying the ratios from 70,73 & 82 say Israelis are better I would like you to present us with the ratios, can you do that for us son?
aaaaah ehim, any SERIOUS researcher would know that the SyAAF actually claims one confirmed F-16 and two others in the battles on 82, the rest is TOTALLY Soviet imagination, the idiots never even managed to spell Syrian pilots’ names correctly.
as for weaponry, in 1982 MiG-23MSs were armed with K-13s, MiG-23MFs were armed with R-23s and R-60s, nowadays teh situation is waaaaay too different 😎 .
PII, tell me what’s so supperior in IsAF pilots ( other than their American made aircraft and weapons ) please, and please stop the ” the Sun rises from east and the IsAF controls the skys ” BS.
Kfadrat,
Did you even bother to read my response post to your initial “INSTALLATION” remarks? Probably not.
I DID.
And it’s nice to know you’re actually aware of my age…..oh wait, you’re wrong on that too.
which one? your mental age or your body age?
do you live in a democracy or not?
DO YOU ELECT YOUR GOVERNMENT OR NOT???
you can simply STOP electing those who are allowing this, like Bush who yesterday told IBAC when they thanked him for his efforts in Iraq that : ” THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINING ” .
the SOB, what’s the end? a new crusade towards Makkah? to make his masters in Tel Aviv happy?.
I simply don’t understand what kind of a democracy would always bring peopel who support Israeli terrorism into power if voters don’t support this terrorism?????
the number is now 23 dead MOSTLY children … democracy the Israeli way.

Israel targets protesters in Rafah assault
Wednesday 19 May 2004, 17:53 Makka Time, 14:53 GMT
Israeli helicopters have fired missiles at Palestinians peacefully protesting against a massive raid in the occupied Gaza Strip, leaving up to 20 dead and dozens injured.
Israeli occupation soldiers in Rafah also fired tank shells and machineguns at demonstrators protesting against Israel’s bloody invasion of the neighbouring refugee camp, said Palestinian security officials on Wednesday.
At least 40 others – mainly civilians – were injured. The majority of those wounded were women and children, medical sources told Aljazeera’s correspondent Samir Abu Shamala. Chaos swept the streets as survivors piled the wounded into vehicles.
Hospital floors were drenched with blood as doctors shouted for help and blood donations. Staff treated the wounded on the floor after quickly running out of beds.
The latest casualties raises to more than 40 Palestinians killed in Rafah refugee camp and the neighbouring city since Israel launched a massive assault on the camp early on Tuesday.
Anger swept across the occupied Gaza Strip as news spread of the attack, reported Aljazeera’s correspondent.
Teenagers killed
Earlier, Israeli occupation forces shot dead four Palestinian civilians, including two teenagers, in the Rafah refugee camp.
Israeli soldiers killed Muhammad Abu Nasr, 16, in the besieged Tal al-Sultan neighbourhood of the impoverished camp and a 13-year-old boy.
Khalil Abu Said, 37, was hit by an Israeli tank shell after coming out of his home carrying a white flag, said security sources.
Israeli troops had ordered all men to leave their homes and surrender their weapons. They also called on resistance fighters to surrender.
Occupation soldiers have also ordered by loudspeaker all males over 16 to gather in one place or risk demolition of family homes. Israel has threatened to carry out a systematic destruction of homes in the impoverished area since the start of the invasion.
Israeli tanks and infantry poured into Rafah in defiance of international criticism, drawing UN and European Union criticism that the operation could make thousands of Palestinians homeless.
Some residents of the Rafah camp said men were emerging from homes amid fears they would be harmed.

killer missles MADE IN USA!
rat, (yes that’s your new name for me 🙂 )
How exactly was America INSTALLED?
ooooh, the poor kid now resorts to name calling … poor little thing.
Son, history starts where it actually starts, NOT where a US high School student wants it to start, you start at settelers not wanting her majisty’s government anymore, but where did these settelers come from at the first place? they were gathered from around the world to take someone else’s land, the same thing with Israel … period.
ONLY a few thousand Jews who lived in Palestine before the darn Belfore promise HAVE the right to live in Palestine, the rest are just a gang that gathered from 200 countries to have some fun killing and testing American weapons, that’s all.
Religion and believing in a supreme being is definately the route of a whole lot of death and misery throughout the course of history.
True or false?
Flood.â„¢
false … the problem is in the way people interpret religion and try to ALWAYS twist it to serve their own goals … no matter how low these goals would be.
it’s NOT God who we normal people have a problem with, it’s those people who think they can take God’s place.
And how arrogant of you to assume that no-one else knows the true meaning of Semite…….
ok ok … don’t be sad, I admit my English let me down this time, I should’ve written: ” I decided to clear this stupidity once and for all from the minds of people WHO BELIEVE IN IT as too many people are decieved by this rather stupid claim “
I hope you are happy now.
