Air Force

The October war was essential for the israel to go through & it was our obligation to impose it upon the israelis . The heroic acts of our pilots & the sacred blood that was shed for the sake of liberty & freedom was carried out under vicious aircombat. The ultimate outcome is now clearly realized by all the Israeli commanders & pilots verbally & nonverbally.

Lt.General/ Mohammed Hosni Mubarak

Zero hour had come & everything moved & worked according to the plan.
The main air strike was: 200 Aircraft making the first hit on the enemy
targets along the Egyptian front, & 200 fighters hitting along the Syrian front.
Our E.A.F acted heroically and courageously in the war.

Marshal/ AHED Esmail Aly

The Egyptian fighters demolished the legendary role of the Israeli Air Force during 1973 October war, hence minimizing the Israeli tanks role for achieving any success during its economic wars.
General/ Antony Farar Hockely The Tactics professor in the British Army

The competence of planning & the performance that accompanied the Egyptian attack & the preliminary Egyptian air & tank strike would have never been carried out better by any army in the world. Col. T.N. Depui
With the Egyptian Mig -21 the (EAF) fighters began a new era with a unique & complete technique of air defence plans , that was based on the air force ,air defence & the ground bombing to cover every inch on the front, coming out from good electronic counter measures & high command personnel.

Gen. Steag Lo Fagrin One of the Swedish Armed Forces Commanders
The Egyptian fighters fought the most vicious Air battles against the Israelis & gained Air Superiority while the Israelis had never dreamt of losing their dominance.

The level of the Heavy Bombers was great, & their attacks were so accurate & destructive

The Arab Air Force showed a very high unexpected level of performance.
The pilots showed no lack of confidence & courage as well as the ground
crews were able to manipulate & handle the most complex aircraft.

Israel lost one fifth of its Air Forceat the beginning of the war. Most of the losses were in the (PHANTOM) fighters & the Heavy Attack Bombers.
