כפי שתיארתי בספר שלי על מטוסי המיראז'
April 7, 1967
A great day for the IAF interception pilots: six enemy aircraft destroyed. Cpt. Iftach Spector and Cpt. Binyamin Romach from 101 were the first to engage a couple of Syrian MiG-21s over Kunetra. Spector took in one of the MiGs, and after a short chase used his cannons from a short distance, and "noted it in his book". Romach followed the second MiG, and from 400m damaged it with his cannons. Spector was not satisfied, and obliged with an additional short burst of fire from his cannons. A second explosion in the MiG credited both pilots with the kill. Maj. Ran Ronen and Cpt. Avraham Shalmon from the Bat squadron engaged another couple of Syrian MiG-21s. Ronen fired a Shafrir missile, which chose to pass between the exhaust and the wing of the MiG - and the MiG went on. Ronen relied again on a short distance cannons blast. An explosion of the drop fuel tank convinced the MiG pilot to eject. Shalmon spent two Shafrir missiles with no success, but several bursts of cannon sent the MiG limping home, where it landed at its base. In the afternoon, Maj. Ezra Dotan (Baban), Maj. Mordechai Yeshurun and Cpt. Oded Sagi from the Bat squadron were directed towards the village of Pick, where four Syrian MiG-21s were patrolling the area. Baban was the first to engage, but one Shafrir and several cannon rounds - from 400m - did not help him. But from 250m, the cannons were effective and the MiG exploded in the air. Lanir (in Mirage 60) took on "his" MiG, and from 200m the huge explosion of the MiG left him no choice but to fly through it. He found his Mirage covered with soot, unable to see anything around him. Yeshurun understood the situation immediately, aligned with him and directed him home. Slowly the soot diminished and Lanir landed safely at his home base. Cpt. Avraham Salpak from 101 - escorted by a colleague - discovered another couple of MiGs patrolling in the same area. He dropped his external fuel tanks, went on pursuit after one of the MiGs, put a heavy finger on the cannons' trigger and did not let go until the MiG exploded.
