Israeli Air Force F-15 Eagles are en route to escort a strike package into Iranian airspace.

Despite being nearly 50 years old, these veteran jets—equipped with a mix of AIM-7 Sparrows, AIM-120 AMRAAMs, and Python 4 missiles—now assert air dominance over Iran.

On July 29, 1981, Baz 673—piloted by Major Shaul Simon—shot down a Syrian MiG-25 "Foxbat" with an AIM-7F Sparrow missile.

Today, the aircraft proudly bears the nickname “Foxbat Killer.”

I'll take these over f35s the US govt can disable anytime.

Sounds like they are prepping for an excuse.

Like how they put all the old ships that could not defend themselves into pearl harbour and allowed the Japanese to destroy them so they would have an excuse to join WWII.

Or like how they did the same thing as an excuse to invade Vietnam.

Just wait we'll see some false flag terrorist attacks against USA by Israel blamed on Iran(like they blamed Iraq for 9/11 when all evidence points to Mossad)

These jets will probably get destroyed and then that'll be the excuse to give Israel more billions and more weapons and join in on the slaughter on Iranian civilians.

There’s a Python 4 now?! I had enough trouble migrating all my code to Python 3. 🙁
