1From June 9, 1982 to June 9, 1982, the Israeli and Syrian air forces conducted a three-day air battle over the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. The two sides invested 150 fighter planes, and as a result, the Israeli air force achieved a record of shooting down 80 planes of the other side without losing one, which shocked the world and was called the most unbalanced air combat in history.

The most fundamental reason why the Israeli Air Force has achieved such a record is that it relies on advanced weapons and pilots with superb air combat technology. Israel participated in the air combat with 1 EM2C airborne early warning commander and dozens of FM 15 and FM 16 fighters. These fighters have an advantage over Syrian fighters. It is precisely because Israeli pilots have extraordinary training foundation, superb driving skills and flexible tactical application that the aircraft that has been advanced than their opponents have shown operational advantages in air combat.
