Have fun researching this on your own. The Israelis loved playing down all their losses and the Arabs tended to over exaggerate their gains. You will find pictures from Israeli magazines and news papers showing a Mig-21 being downed over Syria when its clearly an F-4. You will also find claims by the Arabs of shooting down some Israeli aircraft when there's no evidence of such. So basically 67 apart from a few incidents that the Israelis downplayed (completely forgot about apparently) Arab losses were catastrophic. The war of attrition had came out in the end in favour of the Arabs with a few big scalps taken. Mention 73 and the Israelis panic and show you wildly unrealistic numbers and fabricated events while at the same time downplaying their losses because after all they won right?
If you understand Arabic I would recommend these videos. A great representation of how things actually were described by Egyptian pilots. Basically everything you want to know on the Arab side of the war get in touch with Group 73 Historians.
Well on the subject of facing the IAF the Egyptians weren't screwed per say. It depends on which war.Nicely said, thats why i started this thread as it is very confusing on internet. Sorry i can't understand arabic. if you can post summary please? And also, can you elaborate why egyptians were so screwed in aireal warfare against israel?
How many soldiers, civilians, military equipment (tanks, aircrafts, ships) were lost between wars against israel and arabs?
1 Israeli loss = at least 10 losses on Egypt or Syria or Jordan (67 war) losses.
In some cases the ratio was even more horrible when
1 Israeli loss = at least 100 losses on Egypt or Syria or Jordan (67 war) losses.
such was the case of war between a tiny israel vs. mighty Egypt + Brave Syria + Jih@dia Palestinians (+Jordan in 67 only).
Anyone telling you otherwise, is simply trying to pull a fast one on you.
peace
p.s.
War is a the biggest beaach there is. But if you don't study it honestly, then it will be hell for you.
1 Israeli to 100 Arab ratio?
Yeah ok.
Sounds like BS.
Failing to see the irony.Arabs has lost every war against Israel. The only one who managed to stand up against Israel, ironically, was Hezbollah.
This response doesn't really go with one particular word in your username.....

This is what we call murder of military history.
