Hmm, are you talking about a single war specifically, or just the whole conflict in general? |
Whichever one it was in the late 70's, early 80's. I remember reading a pilots account of the conflict.

Hmm, must be referring to the Lebanon War in 1982
Generally, the aircraft numbers were roughly equal, if not slightly in the Israeli's favor in that war (Due to the fact that only Syria participated, unlike previous wars), I have not heard of an engagement where Israeli aircraft were outnumbered 10-1, but I do know that losses inflicted on Syrian aircraft were high, largely due to the fact that the IAF fielded more advanced aircraft and generally better trained pilots
Oh, speaking of that, Soviet-designed SAMs like SA-6 were used very effectively in, at least, the 1970s against IAF aircraft
