#7 Even it the Israelis were flying their version of the old F4, the Russians and the Turks would have problems The Israelis do the ODAA loop very well. Also I wonder how the Mig-29 would do against the Israeli upgraded F-35 ?

#9 I wonder how the Mig-29 would do against the Israeli upgraded F-35?

I think it would turn into a "How fast to Arabs die?" competition.
