Talk:Operation Focus

Hello I'm new here, but I have many details I can add to this article (some already added), all from a book written about it by Dani shalom, called "Like a Bolt Out of the Blue" (in Hebrew "KeRa'am BeYom Bahir"). Thank you.

Idleguy, about your claim
"number of aircraft destroyed still seems a tad high compared to other sources. will do more research before modifying"

I'll wait for your findings. I think the book is a reliable source, given that it's not Danni Shalom's first book regarding the Israeli airforce. I tend to believe the data given by the IAF and by Arab sources which helped him with the book (at least the Egyptian ones).

Also there's the calculation - Number of aircrafts before, and number after...

I, too, am uneasy with the numbers. The Egyptian air force of nearly 500 planes was destroyed, 600 planes (total) destroyed in another place in the article, but (elsewhere, several times) 452 planes were destroyed, being essentially all of three air forces? Several hundred planes seem to be missing.

The numbers of Arab losses by aircraft type in the article don't foot to the the number of aircraft by country. If you total the Egyptian aircraft by type, it comes to 348, but it lists Egyptian losses by nation as 338. It says 21 Jordanian Hunters were lost, but then says Jordan lost 29 aircraft. Syria's losses by type are 60, but by country are 61. Iraq's losses by type are 22, but by country are 23. I don't think it's due to unattributed types for two reasons: first, the itemized Egyptian losses are greater than the Egyptian losses by country, so it can't be that an aircraft type was left out of the itemized list, and second because both "by type" and "by country" counts total 452 aircraft. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.161.160.10 (talk) 21:16, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Mismatches within the article.
Talk:Six-Day_War is one.

Operation_Focus : They returned to Israel, were "quick-turned" in an incredible 7½ minutes, and departed in a second wave that attacked 14 Egyptian bases doesn't agree with Operation_Focus : Second wave (9:30am): 164 flights; 16 airfields were attacked; 107 Egyptian aircraft destroyed; 2 Syrian planes destroyed in dogfights Tintin (talk) 13:43, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe the remaining two airfields weren't Egyptian. Jordanian and Syrian airfields were also hit during the first and mainly the second wave.--ArnoldPettybone (talk) 03:51, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Question
If anybody could explain to me the relevance of the Israel template on the right that would be great. If think it should be replaced with a battle template.--ArnoldPettybone (talk) 03:51, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Article needs Israeli aircraft types
if we have info for one side we should replicate that info for both sides if possible. 67.204.145.88 (talk) 22:40, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Name
Shouldn't the article be named "Operation Mokked"? Regardless, "Mokked" in Hebrew doesn't really mean "focus", it means more like a "focus point", something in the distance, or it can also mean a big wooden post used to hang people.

Durandal Anti-Runway Bomb
The article claims (under "Summary of Operation") that the Durandal bomb was used in 1967. The Durandal Wikipedia Article says this is impossible. Someone should address this contradiction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aarongeller (talk • contribs) 16:54, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Infobox type
I suggest changing the infobox from operation plan to military conflict since that's basically what this is. Romulus Cyrus (talk) 16:56, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
