You should take a look at the cold war more closely. The Soviets went as far a providing pilots during the vietnam war and Arab-Israeli conflicts.
Operation Rimon 20 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And you cant build a 240 billion economy on paltry handouts that nations such as egypt, Israel recieve. Aid is mostly given to the politicians to provide for US leverage.
The effects of aid are overstated, as you probably see many Pakistani's mentioning time and time again.
And?
So you think providing a few pilots is equivalent to billions of dollars a year plus trade access plus state of the art military equipment?
As much as it pains you to look at the truth, you have to see it.
Isreal was given every single advantage, they were given money, materials, experties, and even access to western markets so they could freely trade with the rich west.
The Arabs were not given this, they bough soviet equipment and got some trainers (and pilots)
Now I am not complaining about this, this is just how the world is, "it's all right, if it's all white"
I am simply saying that at the very least acknowledge that "tiny" isreal didn't miraculously beat Arabs, they were a professional sports team to a village volunteer team that the Arabs were.
