Military Crisis in Israeli Air Force

Abramovich, we're with you. Dana Weiss reported that the Defense Minister

Gallant is calling, uh, to delay the legislation, to stop it for now,

to suspend it, and he says the situation is worrying, says Nir Dvori,

that the pilots—forget that already— say they've lost faith in the government.

Can the clock even be turned back?

Look, first of all, the “earthquake in the Air Force” headline is

only partial, because the earthquake

is throughout the entire military.

Yes, it's also in— Sayeret Matkal and Shayetet, and more and more.

Yes, in all the units. What's happening in the Air Force, the Air Force at this

point is no longer operational, no matter how much they try to spin it.

I won't give numbers here. I'll just tell you that in the Yom

Kippur War, 53 pilots were killed, 44 were captured

or went missing, and the situation today—before

additional opponents were added, uh,

is many times worse.
