Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Good DEFA cannons for fighting air targets
• Wide variety of bomb and rocket payloads for ground targets
• Has Shafrir missiles for possible self-defense against air targets

Cons:

• Bomb load is pretty inadequate, may have issues destroying multiple bases
• Shafrir missiles are not very maneuverable against fighter targets
• Has no bomber sight

History

In 1951, Sud-Ouest flew its S.O. 4000 experimental bomber and the pains have been so promising that the kind changed into hastily advanced because the S.O. 4050 multi-position fight plane.

 Vautour IIN - This  seat all weather/night time assault fighter prepared with an interception radar withinside the nostril took off on its maiden flight on October sixteenth 1952. a hundred and forty examples have been ordered through the French however most effective 70 have been produced and seven served with the IAF. 

 Following take a look at flights in early 1957 the IAF decided on the Vautour to update the de Havilland Mosquito withinside the long-variety assault position and to counter the Arabs` Ilyushin Il-28 mild jet bombers. The first Vautour, no. 13, arrived in Israel on August 1, 1957, in whole secrecy. The planes, delievered at a price of one or 2 according to month, carried French air forces markings and have been ferried via a French air base in Tunisia to keep away from detection through both the Americans or the British. Even after their arrival in Israel the planes have been saved in Hazor AFB, and most effective on April seventh 1958 did the primary takeoff in Israel take place. The planes have been most effective found out to the general public in an air show all through August 1958. Two IAF squadrons equipped with Vautour. TelNof's "Bat" squadron manipulated the IIN variant, and "KnightsoftheHeart" manipulated Ramat David's IIA and IIB. The seven IINs were initially used as night interceptors (along with the IAF Meteor NF13 until retirement in 1960), but when the Mirage IIIC arrived in 1963, they were moved to the Knights of the Heart Squadron. It was operated there. Attack aircraft. Nonetheless, they continued to intercept at night in incidents such  as those in early 1964 when they attempted to attack the Egyptian MiG19. Shortly before the Six-Day War, the nose radar and other nocturnal avionics equipment were removed, making the IIN a normal attack aircraft,  except for a reconnaissance aircraft with a camera in the bomb bay. increase. When Israel began using electronic warfare (EW) measures against  Arabs,  Vautour IIN was first  equipped with pods designed for this purpose. Among the aircraft used for the EW was the Vautour, which was specially equipped with the Mirage IIIC nose at the IAF Museum. The IIN was destroyed in 1962 during testing of Israel's first air-to-air missile,  Shafrir. The 

 Israeli Vautour IIB photo reconnaissance aircraft was equipped with a variety of cameras for  day and night photography. Like its predecessor, the Mosquito,  Vautour's long range allowed him to fly far  in the role of reconnaissance. On January 23, 1962, Vautour flew Egypt  to the Libyan border, despite numerous attempts to intercept Egypt. The IIB was also  the first aircraft to collect information enabling Operation Moquet, the opening of the Sixth Middle East War, and to provide evidence of Soviet SAM in Egypt in the mid-1960s. 

 Immediately after the delivery of the Vautour was completed in 1958, like all Israeli aircraft of the time, the Vautour squadron settled on a training schedule and was often interrupted in combat. The first encounter between the IAF and the MiG19 occurred on August 16, 1959, when two vultures attacked four Egyptian MiGs at the Israeli-Egyptian border. Despite the shots from both sides, the plane did not hit. In the 1960s, Israel was involved in Syria in  the so-called "war over water." This was a series of efforts aimed at stopping Syria's attempts to divert Israeli water sources, which ultimately led to the Six-Day War. As the main attack aircraft of the IAF, Vautours attacked the Syrian position several times. In the largest IAF operation since Operation Kadesh in 1956, five vultures participated in an attack on the entire Syrian army on the Golan Heights on November 13, 1964. One was hit by anti-aircraft fire, but managed to complete the mission and returned safely to the base. Further attacks were carried out on May 13, 1966, July 13, July 14, and August 15, 1966. On the morning of June 5, 1967, two Vautour IINs for electronic warfare  from Ramat David AFB arrived at two stations near the Israeli-Egyptian border and  off the Egyptian coast. Once both planes were deployed, they turned on the sabotage pods, disabled Egyptian air defense, and set out on the road to dozens of Israeli planes that set out to attack Egypt's air force bases with full death over the Amazon. opened. Only Ramato David's "Knight of the Heart" squadron  operated  Vautour during the outbreak of the Six-Day War, moving 19 aircraft to Ternov to bring them closer to the battlefield shortly before the outbreak of hostilities. During Operation Moquet, Votur played a key role in attacking air force bases in Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Iraq, hosting the farthest and most defensive one, the Egyptian heavy bomber Tupolev Tu16. I attacked what I have. The bases attacked included RasBanas, AbuSweir, BneiSwif, Luxor, Cairo West, bases where  heavy bombers were stationed, or bases trying to escape. Four Vautours met four MiG21s on Abu Sweir. One aircraft was shot down, but another pair managed to complete its mission invincibly, and a third Vautour was busy with MiG until the  IAF Mirage arrived to provide assistance. The mirage shot down three MiGs, allowing a third Vautour to complete its mission. By noon on June 5, Egypt's heavy bombers were destroyed (in Luxor, only eight Tu16s and eight Antonov An12s), and  Vautours could be reassigned to other efforts. Attacks on Jordan, Syria, and Iraq and attacks on the Arabs in the later stages of Operation Moked also included ground forces. 

 On the afternoon of June 5, three IAF Vautours attacked Iraqi Air Force Base H3, the closest Iraqi Air Force base to Israel and a safe haven for Jordanian aircraft fleeing the former air force devastation. .. Six MiG21s, three Hawker Hunters, and a transport plane were destroyed while evading two Iraqi MiG21s. On June 6, four more Vautours returned to H3 after another MiG21 was reported to arrive, accompanied by two Mirages. One MiG and two fighters were shot down, one was shot down by  Vautour, and the other five Iraqi aircraft were destroyed on the ground. A third attack was launched on June 7, after Iraq's increased activity against Israel. Four Vautours and four Mirages returned to a distant air force base, and two Vautours and one Mirage were shot down in the IAF's most tragic war operation. The Iraqi MiG21 and two Hawker Hunters were also shot down. Eight vultures were lost during the Six-Day War, but the end of the war did not  end  the hostilities between Israel and its neighbors. Losses incurred during the war hampered this type of operation, but vultures repeatedly engaged in attacks on terrorist positions in Jordan and southern Lebanon, as well as  regular Arab troops. On November 7, 1967, eight vultures attacked a Jordanian cannon, and another attack was carried out in January 1968. In April 1969, one aircraft was lost in such an attack. In late July 1969, vultures participated in an attack on Egyptian troops on the Suez Canal, and in August a Syrian cannon was attacked. Vautours  continued to play its role in reconnaissance and electronic warfare  on December 1, 1967. During a reconnaissance flight over the Suez Canal, 30 people were lost in an Egyptian ground fire. 

 A new fighter handed over from the United States to Israel in the late 1960s made Vautour obsolete. The A4 Skyhawks and F4 Phantoms replaced Votur in all roles, including photo reconnaissance and electronic warfare, and by early 1972 this type had retired and the Knights of the Heart Squadron were refitted with Skyhawks. I did.
