Business Insider: SOFREP: It looks like Russian warships may be shutting out Israel's Air Force access to Syria
The Israeli Air Force has an impressive reputation. As a son of an IAF veteran, I grew up hearing their stories and watching runways.
I was told tales of daring dogfights against the Egyptian spitfires in the early days, or the overwhelming casualties the IAF caused to the Egyptian Air Force during the Six-Day War (’67)—a total of 452 Arab aircraft were destroyed, 49 of which were aerial victories.
Over the years, the IAF has become more technologically advanced and is now an important part of our national security.

WNU Editor: For Israel .... the days where it was easy for them to cross into Lebanese/Syrian air space appears to be over.
