It is now virtually officially recognised: the subversive actions of the Left against the government on the eve of 7 October, and especially the refusal of Leftist Air Force officers to submit to reserve service, directly damaged the operational capability of the Air Force.
At a conference held yesterday (10.07.2024) at the Holon Institute of Technology related to training technology, Lieutenant Colonel Yaniv Even reported that “as far as training is concerned... the protests against legal reform have resulted in reservists who are not capable of performing their duties.”
Lieutenant Colonel Yaniv, Commander of the Air Force Air Control and Flight Control School also said the following: “On the day of 7 October we had a poor understanding of what was going on, we had to organise ourselves right on the fly to get into action. On top of that, it turned out that the legal reform protests had created reservists who were not properly trained for their duties. Our defeat should be a starting point for learning lessons. We, as an army, have unequivocally failed.”
