Israel and Saudi Arabia reportedly have a plan In place to allow Israeli planes to overfly and refuel in Saudi airspace.
The article presupposes those Iraqi F-16’s will pose an immediate threat as soon as their pilots lay eyes on them. It will take at least a year before they become marginally proficient.

.......even then they would haul ass for Iran if they saw Israeli War Planes armed for battle heading at them. We’ve seen it before.
Frankly, I don’t think Israel worries much about an Iraq Air Force in combat.

It ain't gonna happen the same way it did in 1981 at Osirak, Iraq. Everybody thinks this will be a replay of that most daring of raids. Nope. It's gonna be different as the Israelis think outside of the box...just wait.
