  • Did you know when did the the F-15 achieved its first ever kill? Well the story starts on the morning of June 2nd, 1979, when four Syrian mig-21 fishbed interceptors crossed into Israeli airspace for a surprise attack. Four Israeli F-15s were on a routine petrol at the time, and were quickly informed regarding the Migs. Retired brigadier general Mosha Marom Melnik was in one of the F-15s and didn't know he was about to score the F-15's firstever kill. The dogfight takes place 30 miles north of the Israeli border. Melnik locks the mig and fires, and the mig easily escapes the missile. Melnik was now the target of Mig-21s, and he was in a do or die situation! According to Melnik, he decided not to use radar this time but his eyes to engage the mig, because the horizon was very clear that morning. The MiG and F-15 were getting close very fast, and Melnik decided to launch this missile called Python-3. Melnik sets his aim and fires the missile, and the mig gets hit, as you can see in this actual footage of that combat. All this aerial engagement happened in less than 30 seconds.

    Just an amazing plane. Going to be hard to replace. Probably will end up as gun trucks for more stealthy platforms.

    If the 21's had the 15's wings, I think it'd be the better jet fighter. But BARELY. Still a win though

    Just read the Iron Eagle is getting a few upgrades. Love these old school made of brass ass planes.

    Why can Israel go into other countries and say its for defence and others cannot? Never got it... do they have some kind of exemption?

    • @l10r35
      @l10r35 2 года назад +4

      Because they were in Israeli airspace, so the f15 had permission to shoot them down outside of Israeli territory

    The Python did not exist yet at that time. It was an earlier missile.

    It's not unguided, it's infrared. An unguided air to air missile is a terrible idea.

    Not to speak of Israeli air space there is even no country named Israel. It's occupied Palestine.

    Israel didn’t receive the F-15 until 1977. Dates quoted appear to be wrong

    In the early eighties IAF within less than two hours shot down more than 80 Syrian jet fighters over Lebanon I believe. Is it possible to have a video on this please?

    Did you know of the first F-15 shot down? Yemen rebels shot down a Saudi F-15 using a Soviet era SAM-2.

    That's why F-15 called the undefeated eagle and never been and they call it MIG killer and SU punisher that's why not even Russian can counter it so they bully his little brother F-16😂😂😂

    Not true. F-15s and the Pythons were not maufactured yet. You had it all wrong. The aerial battle was between IDF's Mirages and Syria's Mig-21s in 1967.
