Dogfights - Desert Aces Part 2 of 5

I do not own any copyrights over this video. Credits for making this great series belong to the History Channel and the makers of the Dogfights series.

Background: Israel- a nation vastly outnumbered and out-gunned by the nations around it. Its destruction is thought by those same neighboring countries for many years. In order to survive, Israel puts ahead of itself an unconditional goal of ruling the skies in every war. Only the very best are picked to be pilots in the Israeli Air Force. Their extremely intense training ends only on retirement, their achievements, often considered close to impossible, were never seen before or after anywhere else. By the time their skill becomes known to enemy fighters, no one dares challenge them.
In 3D simulation of intense dogfights, witness their fight at numerical and technological disadvantage (Mirages against MiG-21s) and close to non-existing winning odds (one fighter alone against 10). This video features the stories of Ran Ronen, an Israeli Ace with 7 kills, and Giora Even (Epstein), the world's top scoring jet ace!

Wrong this battle happened before the 6 day war (June 1967); this battle was called Operation Shredder‏ or in Arabic Samu Incident which took place November 13, 1966‏. The battle happened in the Jordanian Canyon called the Mujeb Valley not in the Sinai desert.

@TheGK2009 They did say it was on the 13th, and I didn't hear them mentioning the Sinai desert. Anyway, if you have a good source for the tale of this battle, I'd be glad if you shared it.

[skyhound2009]

you see that part i have never heard before but i wont question your credibility i will simply check your sources, another thing why are you on the defensive all the time calm down i am not attacking you i would like to find a solution to the situation as much as u do maybe if we come to an understanding and we both become presidents someday we can put an end to the conflict that is my purpose of this discussion

[FireStorm81318]

@skyhound2009 I'm not sure what "situation" you're speaking of. You claim to be from Egypt, and as far as I know, these days Israel and Egypt have no political issues. Anyway, I'm "on the defense" all the time because your claims are an insult to my people's past. In the first place, this documentary video wasn't supposed to be an invitation for political accusations.

I'd hate to be a president, but if that's your aim, good luck.

WHY IN THE HELL DID THE JORDANIAN PILOT CRASH HIMSELF INTO THE WALL?! THAT WAS STUPID!!!

[Vettejocke]

wow holy shit jet air combat must be exhilarating , and even more so with those gen 3 and early gen 4 fighters of the sixties

[3beepu]

the first fight reminds me of Hemingway's book

except he got the fish :).

[Th3Nigma]

@FireStorm81318 too bad he lost his nerve and broke out of the vertical dive in part 1

[TheGK2009]

@hellboy110585: the name of the guy was Mwoafeq Al Saltee; he was one of the best pilots and he was 1st Lieutenant when he got killed in that battle November 1966.
