It'll be interesting to see if Syria has the guts to send up some MiGs (considering the 80-0 shutout by the IAF last time they did so. ...in '82).
I hope they break out the F-15s.
During Operation Peace for Galilee, the Israeli incursion into Lebanon in June of 1982, Israeli aircraft succeeded in destroying no less than 92 Syrian fighters during operations between June 5 and June 12 over the Bekaa Valley. Israeli F-15s were responsible for a large fraction of these victories, with F-16s and Kfirs being responsible for the remainder. At least three of these victories were against MiG-25s, which were shot down by using zoom climb for "snap-up" intercepts by Sparrow missiles.
On June 7, 1981, F-15s equipped with FAST packs for extended range flew top cover for F-16s that attacked and destroyed the Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osirak (Tamuz) near Baghdad, shutting down at least temporarily Saddam Hussein's nuclear weapons program.
