Introduction
In light of regional conflicts in the Middle East region in recent years, mainly focused on Israeli offensive campaigns in Lebanon, Syria and Iran, the technical and qualitative superiority of the Israeli side appeared in many of these confrontations in which the air superiority resolved the battle early, which calls for a deep analysis of the elements of this qualitative superiority and how to confront it in any possible future battle with Egypt. This analysis is a personal analysis based on available information sources and some individual conclusions.
Elements of Israeli excellence in recent conflicts
If we look deeply and we have studied all Israeli military operations in the past two years, it will become clear that the basic and pivotal role of the Israeli Air Force, which is the main striking force, is far -ranging from the Israeli army and its major superiority point as how and as.
Israel has a variety of combat offensive aircraft, starting from the Dora F-35i Adir used extensively in all last operations along with the F-16i Sufs and the F-15I buds, which are the striking arm of the Israeli Air Force.

The Israelis always depend on the previous squad at the beginning of the battle to open the gaps and destroy the leadership centers and control of the failure of the decision -making capacity, which is clearly shown in the attacks on Iran.
Besides this combination of combat aircraft, Israel also relies on early warning aircraft and ETAM EL/W-208. This plane provides operational flexibility, early warning capabilities and special air tactics for the F -35 fighter, which can work silently, a full radar, based on the detection of the Eitam radar, the compass, satellite data.

Israel also has a special task plane, electronic support and Shavit, which allows a precise and radar image of air defense systems, exports and wireless communication systems, which increases the effectiveness of Israeli anticipated attacks.

All Israeli air systems are linked together with Israeli -made data connections linked to satellites, which allows a complete transfer of the image of the battle between different platforms in real time, especially in long -term attacks in the depth of enemy lands.

All this, along with many fuel planes that allow an operational extent covering all parts of the Middle East, and clearly appeared in the attacks on Yemen and Iran.
But the offensive platforms alone are not sufficient if they are not supported by a strong intelligence system and poll that can read the enemy's movements and plans and direct offensive platforms accurately on carefully specific goals with the aim of operational impact and paralyze the enemy capabilities before the start of the battle.
Besides the Mossad apparatus specializing in external operations and the recruitment of customers and besides the safety agency of military intelligence and reconnaissance and among its units is the unit 8200 specialized in electronic attacks and codified intelligence and penetration of communications systems, Israel also depends extensively on a variety of spy satellites such as radar and spectral photography satellites in the permanent survey of enemy lands and the preparation of a library that occurs Constantly on the movements of its forces, its newly developed military bases, the warehouses of weapons and its bases in the mountains and caves, as happened with Iran. Most of these moons work in the orbit near the ground.

Also highlighting Israeli strengths is the Israeli defensive industrial base represented by systems and ammunition manufacturers such as RAFAEL and ELPIT Systems and others. The possession of technology and lines of production of systems and ammunition allows significant independence and operational freedom. It also allows the surprise of the opponent with new weapons and tactics that develop secret within these companies as happened with the air -mobile ballistic missiles that destroyed radar and air defense sites in the confrontation with Iran.
From this point, Israel developed based on local technology and with support and cooperation with the United States, the Iron Dome Air Defense Dome.
This system, with its various classes, is one of the most important reasons for Israeli superiority in the recent confrontations. Despite the many breakthroughs that occurred to the Iron Dome of various levels of Iranian missiles, marches and missiles for Hezbollah and Hamas, the rate of confrontation of the Hodeidah dome contributed to alleviating severe damage that could have occurred without the existence of this system. Just imagine the Iranian missile attacks in the absence of any iron dome!
In my opinion, also that this dangerous system is able to deal with ballistic missiles of all kinds, lamps, drums and combat aircraft is one of the most dangerous systems on Egypt despite being a defensive system due to its ability to thwart the traditional Egyptian offensive scenarios by flying or ballistic missiles in any possible confrontation.
In summary of this part, Israeli strengths are summarized in an advanced air force supported by offensive aircraft, private tasks planes, advanced long range data lines, effective intelligence, and developed ammunition manufactured locally with a multi -layer air defense system tried operationally..
Modern Israeli air tactics
Historically, Israel depends in its pre -emptive attacks on the element of surprise and the attack with a large air force on the air and military bases and leadership centers, as happened in the 67th war and recently appeared in the attack on Iran.
But qualitatively, the attack tactics developed as a result of the development of air defense and radio methods, which necessitated the use of Israel for methods and new tactics to overcome these obstacles.
Initially, Israel always relies on a bank that is updated for all the goals of the opponents that it faces depending on its advanced spying network and its various intelligence services, and therefore its initial pre -emptive attacks are very effective and its goals are carefully selected.
It also had recently appeared in the Israeli -limited Israeli strike last year and the comprehensive attack on it recently, because Israel has created ammunition and new attack methods to overcome the complex air defense networks and far -long radar systems that may pose the risk of its ghost and traditional platforms and limit freedom of operations in the subsequent stages of the battle.
Israel has tested the method of hijacking air attack on early warning sites and air defense with absolute ballistic missile systems for the first time in the October 2024 attack when the absolute ballistic sparrow missile system used an atmosphere of 2000 km to bomb targets from outside the Iranian airspace and succeeded in destroying many early warning stations and radars and hitting a number of Military bases .
The reason for Israel's tendency to this tactic and this type of ammunition is simply the absence of methods that are confronted by the air defenses of Iran because of its pattern of work and its speed vocal and due to the widespread spread of targets on the entire area of the Iranian state, which requires the use of long -term ammunition without risking air platforms.
Israel has developed the ballistic family as an air target to simulate Iranian Shihab missiles and to train the Hodeidah Dome systems to address them. However, she soon realized the importance of this type of ammunition in targeting modern air defense systems.

All Israeli offensive air platforms can carry this projectile, which enables Israel to carry out surprising attacks with very high offensive momentum at the beginning of the battles without entering into the air defenses of the opponent.
Sparro systems, including the Rocks system, enjoy accurate and diverse guidance systems between satellites and visual guidance and a large target starting from 800 km to 2000 km and an excessive excessive speed of more than 5 Mach, which poses a great danger to all confrontation countries and their defenses systems.
