If so, the West is damned lucky.
About ten years ago, I read that Israel’s IAF is able to fly more sorties than the US Air Force; it has one of the biggest armies in the Middle East, and proportionately to its population, one of the biggest in the world. Even NOT proportionately to its population, it has a pretty big army, and regardless, one of the most formidable in the world.
And just in case, it has a nuclear trump card, in case its not-too-neighborly neighbors happens to prevail in conventional warfare.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
