#3 F16 is an air to air battle ship.
F16s have been used as fighter-bombers for the better part of thirty years, and although the design evolved out of an air superiority frame, the delivered plane was decisively "multirole". The Israeli airstrike on Osirak, for instance, was made by F-16 fighter-bombers with F-15s flying cover.
only people that the Muslim Bros or the Egyption Army would do air to air battle with are our Israeli allies
The Egyptians have fought two wars in the thirty years since the October or Yom Kippur War, against the Libyans and Iraqis respectively. On the other hand, the Muslim Brotherhood had been talking wildly about waging war against the Ethiopians a few weeks before the coup, a display of irrationality and impracticality which couldn't have impressed the military and may have contributed to the environment in which they decided to cut Morsi loose. |
