Operation Diamond: The mission of an incredible aircraft stolen.
Mossad! One of the best intelligence agencies of the world's intelligence agencies. Since the establishment, all the missions around the impossible have succeeded this Israeli intelligence agency. There is no pair of Mossad to make secret missions successful.
Ever heard that the enemy forces steal the plane from the air bases? Are you surprised to hear? Mossad has done so. Mossad has done this daring work successfully.
Soviet Russia's MiG-21 was the best fighter jet of the last century. The MiG-21, which started production in 1959, was the most used of Russian ally Egypt, Syria and Iraq. Israel's relationship with America is very good from the beginning of the establishment of Israel. And since the establishment of the Arab world countries were enemies of Israel.
Many times the Israeli war has joined the Arab world countries. But I can not cope with the air force of the enemy in the sky. Israel's air force was defeated at the enemy's MiG-21. So the greed for the MiG-21 made by Russia was Israel's. For the details of how strong MiG-21 works, they need a MiG-21. But the MiG-21 is the only Russia, and Russia could not buy MiG-21 from Russia. Thinking of the way they plan to steal a MiG-21. Mossad was given the responsibility to steal the MiG-21. Operation Diamond named the mission to steal the MiG-21 from enemy base.
In the early sixties, Mossad started working on this mission. It will not be easy to steal the plane from Russia. So they target the neighboring country of Russia, a friendly country. Because Egypt was next to Israel, they first tried to steal the MiG-21 from Egypt. Talking to a pilot in Egypt, Mossad's agent Jim Stomes was given the responsibility of planning.
In the first attempt, Thomas talks to an Egyptian pilot and offers him $ 100,000. But the pilot told the Egyptian authorities the opposite of Mossad's plan. 5 agents of Mossad, including Thomas, were arrested on charges of espionage. Mossad's first plan failed.
A Jewish pilot of Iraqi origin was found to be searching for Mossad. Munir Redfah, a pilot, could not be promoted to the Iraqi Air Force for his Christian route. And he was angry with Reeda. The Iraqi invasion of Kurds was not liked by him either. He wanted to leave Iraq. Mossad took advantage of this opportunity. They offer a large amount of money to Redpa and with Israel's citizenship and the success of the mission, the guarantee of job in Israel. But Redfah first wants to ensure the security of his family. Because the Iraqi army will know all the facts in a short time after flying with MiG-21. His family is not safe in Iraq. Redfoto agreed with Mossad if he gave the spear.
In 1966, on August 16, the opportunity came in red handed. As part of the training session, Regga was flying north of Jordan with MiG-21F13. Before flying to the ground, the filling tank filled the red tank. Understanding the scope, Reeda broke his formation and flew to Israel for the sake of speed. When the flight of Jordan was flown by the Jordanian air force radar, Jordan thinks it is a plane of the Syrian air force. They want to know about Syria.
