The Israeli Air Force, a small country with a population of about 5 million people, is among the top ten in the world in terms of its numbers. And in terms of combat capabilities, they have no equal today. Firstly, Israeli pilots have experience in several full-scale modern wars. Secondly, for more than 40 years in a row they have been participating in continuous armed clashes taking place in the Middle East. Therefore, the history of the creation, training and combat activities of Israeli military aviation is very interesting and quite instructive.
