Israeli Air Force F-15 Eagles are en route to escort a strike package into Iranian airspace.
Despite being nearly 50 years old, these veteran jets—equipped with a mix of AIM-7 Sparrows, AIM-120 AMRAAMs, and Python 4 missiles—now assert air dominance over Iran.
On July 29, 1981, Baz 673—piloted by Major Shaul Simon—shot down a Syrian MiG-25 "Foxbat" with an AIM-7F Sparrow missile.
Today, the aircraft proudly bears the nickname “Foxbat Killer.”
