I was speaking PURELY about The Air Force, and had I known people were going to go on a non-related tangent and expect forensic-science accurate data I would have done some research first and avoided the use of "probably".
But since you feel this need to be right about something, and though following your train of thought, you are - just let me clarify some things.
1) Though it wasn't stated, I was purely speaking of fighter craft. The US Air Force, though it has fighters, and bombers, is now MAINLY a support structure. Again, The US Navy has more fighters than The US Air Force. (Better fighter pilots too).
2) I've seen and have taken part in US / Israeli war exercises. Their pilots are far superior - and since most Israeli pilots are Jewish and they have this 2000+ year religious "thing" going on with Muslims, full of conviction.
The main point of my initial reply was this: Israel, militarily, would be able to wipe the people hiding in the mountains and the mountains themselves off the face of the earth with relative ease.
And since it seems to matter, my name isn't cookie, I am neither Israeli nor Jewish, but I am circumsized.

Maybe the 3 billion a year the US gives Israel has something to do with that.
