Not to the Saudi AF. Egypt & Syria, yes, Saudi, no. Yes, you are right. I did not make it as clear as I should have. I think if Israel had to do it, they could. I was stationed at a UPT base for almost 10 years. We trained a lot of Middle Eastern pilots, mostly Iranians. The vast majority were hazards to air navigation, and could not fly to save their rear ends. We trained some Saudis also, and I think the Saudis are better, but Israelis are still the best pilots in the Middle East.
I believe the IDF still have patriot missile blocks in operation. I doubt much could fly underneath the Patriot radar to make an attack.
The IDF are the best pilots in the middle east, with the Kuwaiti's a close second.
The Arabs are known to throw their hands in the air when they believe a crash is inevitable and start praying to allah, our flight instructors used to laugh like h3ll when they would do that.
