数十年来,只要人们打开电视、翻开报纸或是扭开收音机,就不得不面对一个名词——以色列。在许多国家里,你随便问一个人以色列的面积有多大?他往往说不准;但若问对以色列知道些什么,他多半会说以色列很能打。50年中,以色列大规模的战争打了5次之多,中小规模的不计其数。而以色列空军,也成长为一支数量少、质量高、有相当战斗力的空中力量。 For decades, people had to confront a term-Israel as long as they switched on the television, opened the newspaper or turned on the radio. In many countries, you casually ask a person how large is Israel’s area? He often says no; but most ask Israel what Israel knows, and most will say that Israel can fight. In 50 years, the massive war in Israel has hit as many as five times with numerous small and medium-sized battles. The Israeli Air Force has also grown into a small number of high-quality and fairly fighting air power.
