The Mossad / Israeli intelligence service called her operation 007, according to "James Bond", that fictional secret intelligence agent, because the operation was truly fictional, it was a legendary mission, after (Mig 21) was the jewel of the Soviet fighters and the miracle of their time, a bewildering secret of Israeli intelligence. The American is now within their reach.

Details of the pilot (Mounir Rova) flight of the MiG-21

On August 16, 1966 a squadron of Iraqi Air Force (MiG-21) aircraft went out to patrol the Iraqi airspace, starting at 7:45 p.m. The squadron was counted as Captain Pilot: “Munir Rova” whose plane was late from the squadron.

He did not heed his boss’s call, which he missed with the rest of the squadron Because of the speed of the meg. Here, Munir turned to the Israeli border, He crossed the Jordanian border, where two Hunter planes tried to intercept it, but were unable to do so due to their low speed.At 7.55 a.m., he was entering the Israeli border.

Three radars discovered at the same time, warning networks were launched that Captain (Ran) (this Israeli pilot who is the champion of acrobatic aviation on the Independence Day of Israel) took off immediately with the squadron of less efficient Mirage planes, and moments later Ran was higher than the next plane, and protected by his squadron at that received The captain with his swarm is unequivocal by radio from General (Moti Hood): Do not shoot at all costs. The issue is a state issue and by order of the prime minister.

Implement what a leader told him, as his knowledge of the commander's voice helped him to control his nerves and control his reaction to him (as a stalker) .. Make sure his hoarseness is telling him Never play a starring role ... this MG pilot will follow you nicely, and anchor. After reassuring (Ran), he got a little more close to the enemy plane she had always been looking at for her photo or miniature models.

It carries on its wings (the Iraqi emblem) and its leader does not appear to have any hostile intent. As soon as (Ran) approached him with his Mirage plane, he significantly lowered his speed and staggered on the right and left to demonstrate his intention to land and pacify, Ran approached until the Iraqi pilot (Munir) saw clearly through the plastic cage, wearing the blue flying dress and he pointed to him with his right hand and thumb Down, expressing his intention to land. Then Ran Ran signaled him to follow him.

Everyone went to Captain (Moti Hood) himself to control the landing process, and as Munir Rufah got out of his plane after settling on the land of Israel until General (Moti Hood) welcomed him, saying in English: (Good flight, sir), and the traitor Munir Rufa replied: It is not bad.

After introducing himself to him: Captain Mounir Roufah entered a private salon to be able to change clothes, then board a helicopter to the north. As for the sad plane / it was covered / from curious eyes. And surrounded by the eyes of the military police. On the same day, an invitation was sent to foreign military attaches.
