[Nightwatch]

Die israelische Luftwaffe (habe wir eigentlich keinen Thread zur IAF?) hat sich MiG-29 beschafft.

Fragt sich bloß wozu.

EDIT

The jets were loaned to Israel by an unnamed foreign country. The experiment is meant to prepare IAF pilots for missions where they might have to fight a foreign air-force.

"We tested them - we trained the IAF pilots against them," an unnamed IAF official said.

[...]

An additional experiment conducted recently by the air force involved loading an F-16 with weapons to its utmost capacity, or "flight in a heavy formation," as the test pilot labeled it. The experiment was meant to measure the pilot's safety and the fighter's capability when it was carrying the maximum amount of armaments.

A jet so armed might be used in a long-distance sortie. The pilots interviewed would not name which foreign countries might be the targets of such sorties, but it was clear the main target of such an ambitious mission would be Iran's nuclear installations.
