In the wake of the tragic crash that claimed the lives of seven airmen, Israeli Air Force Col. (res.) Eliezer “Cheetah” Cohen hinted Tuesday at the reasons why IAF helicopters were training in the mountains of Romania.
"I do not want to speculate but I will let your imagination clock some extra hours,” Cohen told Benny Tucker of Arutz Sheva's Hebrew news service, who asked him what the IAF helicopters were doing in Romania. “Take the radius from Israel to Romania; take the altitude of the mountains; look around to find where there is a similar radius, and mountains of that height and even a bit higher – and you will find out what kind of training they were working on and why – and it is extremely important for the security of the State of Israel.”
"Were it not for the accident we would not know how much these crews are giving their heart and soul, training and working hard. The IAF and the entire IDF are preparing very well for what is about to come.”
Cohen, who was a Knesset member for Israel Our Home during his career, added that the cooperation between the IAF and other air forces is extremely beneficial to the pilots, who gain invaluable experience as they learn from and teach others. “Our young fellows, the lieutenants and majors, come back full of experience. Even the more veteran and experienced ones, like the ones who were killed yesterday, come back full of new ways of maneuvering that assist them for months.”

ReplyDeleteEverything I've seen, you can screw with the Israelis a lot, until they've had enough, then you'll get your a$$ handed to you on a plate. Their military is the real deal, they train like they mean it.
